I ended up taking my car into Modular Madness for my final tuning. Since they've been sooooo swamped, I wasn't able to rent any time.... but they would take it in if they tuned it. I got a call this afternoon to let me know that at 10 psi, my car was hitting 350HP/360TQ with only 10* total spark on 91 octane. Tomorrow Heath will be getting the spark to 17-20* and running it up to 12 psi for the street tune. My "race" tune(coughdynoqueentunecough) will run up to 14 psi and more timing for the 103 octane. Proof will be in-hand tomorrow

So this is similar to my engine right, other than your pistons? I'm asking because I know you are on stock rods and I was essentially hitting the same horsepower at the same boost levels.
it is so awesome to have confirmation and see good power numbers at relatively safe boost levels....on stock blocks.

For the record, Heath is the guy that managed 230whp on a 5 cylinder 2.5L Duratec ... sign of a great tuner if you ask me  BTW, The engine was blown when he got to it (I repeat, he had nothing to do with blowing the engine). The previous owner taked him into a tune just to get it running so it didn't show up DOA at my house. Good luck with the tune!

War, I do have a fair bit of head work, no secondaries, 3L UIM, etc. But they're about the same more or less. Note we're hitting about 70 F in SLC, which is about where you were at months ago with you last tune. I'll get some different dyno runs from more popular vehicles like Terminators or Lightnings for reference sake to show if this Mustang dyno is a ringer or not  Either way, yes this is a route more should follow rather than pay out the nose for the Uber turbo kit from ADC.... IMO. Luckily you showed CEG and other sites a good path I still want the title for stock internal DIY'er  Originally posted by fastcougar:

Thanks! Heath is a very dedicated guy, I'd gladly have him tool around with my car.... and that says something! He's the only person other than myself that has driven my car to date
Like Stilov said, he's taking his car into Heath to get his car tuned @ 3.5psi (should be the same as me, since we have the same IC) and on the same dyno. So here we have 2 DIY'er turbo guys with somewhat different setups that will be running the same amount of boost and on the same dyno. 
Basic similarities:
Tumble port 3L
Aluminum 3L UIM
Same turbo IIRC
Same IC system for the most part
Basic Differences:
He has forged pistons, I have SP hyp. pistons
He has secondaries, I do not
He has 3L cams, I have SVT's
I'll leave it at that, and let the comparison take place when the time comes.

Excellent! You've really done A LOT with that car and it's easy to tell you have the patience to pay attention to detail. It's really paying off.

The sad part is that it has '03 tags on it Needless to say, it was down for a bit and I had time to do what I wanted
