Default The car is back from the shop.

Original post

I got my car back today and its a totally different machine now.

The numbers were not as high as i hoped but i think there is some more left in her with some more tuning. I am having some surging and idle issues but i was expecting that.

Numbers are from a Mustang Dyno Dyno Sheet

WRHP = 415
WRTQ = 358

Do these numbers sound a little low?

All that said im thrilled with the changes.

Summary
1. Got to get use to the much higher power band.
2. The Qtec electric cutout is a great addition. Well worth the money
3. The new shocks, rims & tires make the car sit a little high. I allready scraped the pipes so lowering is not an option now.
4. The LS7 clutch is great. Feels like the stock clutch
5. Car handles great with all the supension updates.
6. The MS3 cam sounds great thru the Magnaflow both open and closed.
7. More valve noise than i expected but not to bad.
8. 315's on the rear look sweet
9. The Pro 5.0 shifter is real nice. Much better than the sloppy stock unit.
