I'm hoping to get mine to the tuner this saturday. I may have to wait till next week though, it just depends on if I have time to get it up there.

I decided to leave the stock clutch in it and see how long it will last. I have the RXT sitting here, but dont really want to pull the long tubes off to swap it out right now. Plus I dont want to pay $400 in labor for a shop to do it since christmas is coming up etc.. I dont drive the car that much, so if it'll last a couple of months I'll be happy. Knowing my luck, it'll go out while it's getting dyno tuned LOL !

I'm gonna keep the 3.73s. I'm not much of a track racer, I'll be lucky to run at a track once a year. I've always had 3.73s in my mustangs so I doubt that will change. I'm definitely going to get some drag radials soon though. I think the Nitto NT05s will hook well on the street. As long as I can get around 8000 miles out of them, I will be happy.

Hey that would be 1000 more than I got out of the stock Pirellis on my '11 5.0!

I'm still on my stock clutch, so far it's lasted about 1500 miles with the Paxton and feels fine. I don't drive mine a whole lot since I have a work vehicle, but I give it hell on the weekends!

Tuner emailed me.

First pull.... IC Pipe blows off....
Second pull... different IC Pipe blows off.
Third pull makes 569/434 and a IC pipe blows off....

Sigh...

Looks like 570/435 is it. Didnt quite make 600whp, but I have stock exhaust so still great numbers. Only revved to 7K, could probably make 600whp at 7300.

I will upload a video and a dynosheet when I get them.

Time to buy some T-Bolt Clamps.

Still pretty good numbers! I emailed Shaun at AED a little bit ago so hopefully I'll be running before too long. It'll just end up costing me more than I had hoped.

You guys are killing me !! Mine goes in Monday for a dyno tue. It's in the 50's during the day down here right now, I know the car would be running damn good right about now.

Is this the AED tune?

No it's the Lund tune. When I spoke with Shaun he said it might take him a few days to get it lined out being a FI Boss. He helped me out a lot though, even though I am not a customer. Great guy.

Jon took time out of his Friday at the TX Mile to satisfy a bitchy customer(me) and I couldn't be more impressed with him or how he handled my case.

Good deal. Let us know how that bad boy feels when you get that tune on!

Well it's terrifying. 1st and 2nd rev like I lave the clutch engaged from 4000 to 7500 under anything over 1/2 throttle.

Definitely going to have to get some slicks and friendlier gears than 3.73s for the track.

All in all, it's perfect.:onfire:
