Very impressive! Didn't have to beef things up internally to turn those kind of numbers?

What was the actual rear wheel torque and horse power.  The graph says at the engine.

That's engine torque and engine power. The numbers are to the wheels.

And yes that is on the stock internals and it is safe

Huh? Are you saying you have the car pushing 403hp & 430wtq on your mustang dyno?

What the graph is trying to tell us is this kit increases 114 HP and 119 ftlbs over a tuned GXP.

That's enough of an increase to cause my foot to get itchy.  But, I might have athletes foot, since I am such an athlete.

If I see correctly in the dyno pic, there are 2 runs, one is before and one is after, right?

What were the mods in "before" state?

You guys drive me nuts by not scaling the axis the same.  It totally skews the slope of the curves.

Yes, but please stay on topic. I can't stand thread-jacking.  Plus, my running will take many pages of back and forth posts, jokes and off the cuff comments in order to discus properly and we don't have that kind of time here. Running is a very personal endeavor where an individual can feel both one with nature and at war with her at the same time. It is the single most important exercise for humans to train for in an attempt to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse so that we may outrun the zombies, chase down potential mates in an effort to repopulate, hunt for remaining food supplies and evade glaciers.

So, here is my question, would this be a good set up for a daily driver (on 93 octane) where there is lots of stop and go and then wide open highway runs? These are great numbers but will it last under daily driving conditions?
What was the general cost of this mod?
Also, how is it that I keep seeing these moded engines with CAI systems producing so much power, mine wont function with a CAI without major tuning and then it doesn nothing for the power/torque numbers at all. Is it when you start getting over say 350 RWHP that the CAI begins to make a difference? 

*assume I'm just stupid on this issue* I'm asking to learn.

For this setup you are looking at just south of $7500. It will be perfectly fine under daily driven conditions. Longevity is all in the tune and proper setup. This will last you just fine on an everyday car though.

Which intake do you have? I know some people have issues with certain ones

Wow! really? REALLY? If the apocalypse comes in December, I'm giving all my zombies your address....You do know that this isn't the first time the world was coming do an end? Right? "Run boy run" LOL

And thus I start the many pages of banter of the Pink runner! You will be wearing your pink spandex shorts for the run right?
 :slap: :rofl: :rofl:

PSSSST. don't wear your crotchless panties for this one.... :roll: heart ya man!

This post is off topic and should be removed permanently, along with the poster of the comment. 
I have pink underwear, compliments of a few special forum members / MMM8 attendees (host) that I have modeled for a select few.  Actually, they are pretty good to run in.


Kenny- its good to see you complaining again. Didn't we agree dunno runs are for comparison only?  Just see the difference between the before and the after graphs. They are plotted the same way and can be easily deciphered as a great performance increase, assuming 100 hp and 100 ft lbs is enough to make you smile.

Speaking of smiles, I went to the dentist last week. They have a really cool milling machine that makes teeth right there in the office!

Yes they are for comparison, so I want to make sure that the gas pedal was hit at the same time in both the before and after pulls. I'm just curious about lag. I certainly don't wait until 3,500 RPM to push the gas on the street :)

If this statement is referring to something I said, you mustn't have read what I said. I am not saying there is anything wrong with the lag. I am simply asking what RPM he pushed the gas pedal down.

I believe WOT started at 3k on both pulls from looking at the graph. The car came in with just a GMPP Stage 2 on it boosting at 20 PSI

Presuming those low plots are for before state, isn't too high with 270whp out of only GMPP?
