It doesn't run great...not sure what kind of tuning was done...I've talked to Fastcougar and the guy that sold it had conflicting stories of tuning.
Also it was never dyno'ed.
It does look very nice however...hopefully Fastcougar will get it running right. I had my share of quirks when I built my own. Now that I am rebuilding...I am sure I will have more.

The pics shown confirm my suspicions in that whoever buyilt it put a boost controller on the BOV - talked about backyard tuning. With soemone who knows what they're doing, going over that setup, it could be good. But not how it is setup now.
And there's no way in hell a 2.5L is gonna make 300hp with 6psi - sorry.

I know its a stretch, however, that also doesn't look like a t28 like what you're using and its intercooled.
At SZ01 I put down 274whp running no intercooler and only 8psi. With a big turbo, an intercooler, & the tuning a little on the lean side I think getting close to 300whp is plausible.

He states poor tuning, and the hamfisted installation of a boost controller on the BOV (  ) confirms that to me - so THAT claim for THAT car - I don't buy at all.

I'm not saying that car is making the claimed 300whp... I'm just countering your blanket statement that no 2.5L Duratec is going to make 300whp with only 6psi!

I still stand by that statement. With JUST 6psi, no Nitrous, or other gizmos, there's almost no way your gonna get 300hp.

If that is the case, the previous owner is a liar. How would Modern Garage in SLC be able to tune it without popping it on their mustang dyno?? He also claims to have an ADC chip
