Looks good, but were they not venting the exhaust????

Thanks and come to think of it, no. But I didn't even smell any exhaust fumes....lol. Then again I work on cars all day, so I am immune and probably have brain damage already.

There was 2 big ass overhead doors opened with a breeze, so there was some air flow. But I hear ya!

theres exhaust fans in the ceiling.



So how does the car feel on the street tony?

I was thinking there may have been because I didn't smell anything.

The car feels amazing! Power comes on smooth and pulls like a SOB after about 3.5k - 4k. Love it. Drives good out of boost as well.

It did have a hiccup this morning and at lunch today after cold starts (bogging) but only lasts for a couple minutes and goes away after it warms up a bit.

I just re-uploaded my tune to lower my idle a bit, so I am going to drive it for a few days and it may clear up. If not I will datalog and have Mike take a peak.

Oh and I need Some 19" drag radials...lol. To bad they don't make any in my size.

Haha, with all the new Stangs/GT500's coming out with OEM 19's, maybe someone will pick up on it... (that would be nice!). A 285-315/30-35/19...mmmmm.

*Waits patiently*

Nice....504rwhp on the stock pulley isnt too shabby. Jeffs FRC made 518rwhp i think with a lower pulley swap. Minus the cams too though. Those 127200s your running are a solid set of cams.

Jeff is running a smaller blower pulley (3.33 instead of the 3.48). Yeah, Mike (my tuner) said I was about 30-40hp higher than he normally sees (HO kit with LT's and CMDP's). The cams can surely be accounted for that. My injectors are nearly maxed out as well. So new injectors and a new fuel system are in my future. Then a motor build.

That pull was only up to 6200rpm, it was still climbing hard. I wonder what 6500 would see?? I will never know because I'll end up seeing my motor puke haha.

Those def look sick, I'll take anything that's close in a drag radial.

You have 10 or 10.5 wide? Mine are only 9.5 so I was thinking 315 max and that would be pushing it. I run 285's now and they fit the rim perfectly.
