Is it more, or did they camera man fade back to rear wheels? :laugh: oh yeah I forgot FWD!

And it might just be the video, or me, but does that sound like an excessively high idle? :shrug:

EITHER WAY, Good job! :cool:

yeah, u're right. :)The video wuz actually much longer. There's two earlier minutes of footage. Thats all ma fone could send at once. Besides i thot looking at the rolling wheel would get boring after a while.
Oh, and the idle's fine. btw 750 n 1000rpm. sensitive sound pickup from fone, i guess...
 
Hey Bad SVT,

Looks like you had it installed at a shop. Just wondering how much that install cost and how long it took 'em?

Thanks!

I have experienced the nautalis kit first hand on a pretty much stock 2.5L, and a mildly built up 3L.

BOTH cars were friggan incredible. the 2.5L (rawburts car) put down a rediculious 260ish WHP at 7.5 PSI. Its such useful power too, because the turbo wont really start to give boost until about 3 and a half grand. So there isnt any extended wear on the engine in regular daily driving, but when you "need" the power, just give the gas pedal a little goose and you get rediculious power. Im not sure what the 3L SVT put down with that kit, but I do know it felt balls faster then the 2.5, if I had to give a rough number I would say in the 290 region.
 
I would hope that you could eat up mustang GTs. I dont even bother with those cars any more. My little contour has put S4s, mk3 supras, gtps and so on to shame.

Yeah, it wuz at a shop. Before everyone goes off blabbin' about how much i paid, remember it wuz ma choice! I've gone cheap on ma car and has bitten me in tha butt many times. I refused to do that again with something this big. I went to the best ford performance guyz in vegas. If you noticed, there wuz an svt lightning in tha background. His ford focus has 506hp puttn down 475 to da wheels. Wheeeew! That being said, i paid $1400 for the install. $100/hr. And thats with a couple of hrs taken off.

For the kit yes. Then factor in installation (not hard if done yourself), battery relocation, wideband, transmission, and clutch. It's pricier than you think.
