Why is your redline set at 6400 on the auxiliary tach? That is when vtac kicks in and a quad just starts to make power, lol.

Nice! I also got that front mount, i think its still pretty good to drive :)
Did you have that header coated? I missed to get mine coated, too bad, so i used header temp paint. It works pretty well for nearly 2 years now but still would have let it coated also.
Do you like how that thing sounds with the header on ? Also do you have stock exhaust pipe after header or bigger pipe? I used stock exhaust with bigger cat after i got sick of using stock cat after 3" header, haha :D I even now feel the difference to stock exhaust even way more now since i got 2.5" pipe after header :)

Nice.
Hey is there any way that you can 45 off the TB and then 45 over the radiator hose? A 90 degree bend sucks for flow.

The shifter is pretty long....lol But it works and looks great. The throw is the same as stock really.

The header is coated. I do love the sound. Its awesome. I have 2.5 pipe but I need to get it re done. I plan to run mandrel bent exhaust soon.

As for the redline issue that pisses me off. Cause its a aftermarket cluster gauge over lay. And they printed the redline to low. I hate it!

Well my car also had the V6 look cluster in my gtz... im sure it was a 2.0 or 2.2 cluster but they look the same as the V6 anyways. But it was funny when people where in my car and looked very strange when i redlined my car so much, lol. They were like damn where is your limiter and doesnt that hurt the engine?!! :D

Oh and i really like the mach1 chin spoiler and gtu spoiler combination, looks very nice!

Well this time around I took the GTZ....everyone was impressed....of coarse cause its not a Honda (they kept comparing it to a honda) but I expected better. My friends stated that because its a mustang dyno the numbers are going to read lower. I think they are right cause the EVO only made 250 hp!

My best run was 146hp and 128tq (only mod is ron's header, bullshit intake, and a solid mount.:D

Nice videos but only 146whp? seems to be pretty low cause there are people doing 160 and more with stock quads and stock exhaust+ manifold. The header should give you 20hp to the wheels so i find it kinda strange...
I hope i can hit the dyno this year with my gtz and i have the same setup as you plus W41 cams and i was hoping to hit 180whp easily. How high did you reeved the engine on this dyno runs?

sorry just missed the part where you say its a mustang dyno, lol :D

I wonder if they stopped at the 5500rpm redline on his gauges?


that would explain the low numbers.

I told them about the gauge and that it does redline @ 6500

A friend of mine said to multiply the number given from a mustang dyno by 15 percent and that will give you a close number of a jet dyno.

Rodney was asking why the big dash mounted tach has the redline peg set at 6400. Most quad guys shift at 7000. The. 2.3 can handle it, it's no pussy 2.4. ;)

Dyno again and run that bitch out to the rev limiter. You'll probably pick up 30-40 whp.
