Got dyno-tuned by one of the best Mustang tuners, probably THE best one in New England, anyway ... Pete Johnson at Performance Dyno in Louden NH ...

The 390/370 numbers were running the canned Bama hybrid tune, along with the Airaid "Race" CAI.

New numbers: 405 RWHP, 387 RWTQ :D

Ordered it new Borla S-type mufflers and new ID1000 injectors, the injectors being for the upcoming Whipple build :)

Thanks Hypermotive for the awesome (as usual) service and great pricing!

Those borlas will sound great

I hope so. They certainly do in every YouTube vid I've seen.

Today I went ahead and placed the order for a black 2.3L Whipple tuner kit and a set of FRPP spark plugs
Thanks again to Hypermotive for their ongoing great service.

Got new Borla S-type mufflers and today proceeded to PlastiDip the tips and the parts that may be visible from behind the car:

Just about fully dry:

Yes, the tips are huge, large enough for me to easily fit my whole fist in one. I really wish Borla scaled down the tips a bit ...

Again, sound clips are where? I don't want to have to get the pink slips out here Gabe. I already envy your dipping abilities....

Thanks guys. I have to adjust the right side tip, it's aiming down a bit.
About to take the car out for its maiden voyage, going out to dinner with the gf. She actually took her Shelby home so we could switch to my car so we could both hear the new exhaust. How awesome is that? :D
She heard it earlier when I made that video, but she hasn't been in the car with the new mufflers yet.
