Heres the dyno sheet from my uprev tune by Jtran. Numbers are 257hp and 229 tq. before the dyno i had 244hp and 216tq.

Keep in mind these numbers are on a mustang dyno which reads lower than other dynos but he was telling me that stock revups come in and put down around 215-218hp so for the gains and having WOT and no more lean issues im happy!



wheels have finally been ordered!!! and shall be here in about 6-8 weeks. however i still need to save some more money to afford the tires

So stay tuned for more updates because i still have A LOT left on the wish list lol

Yes the tune helps so much. I felt so much power loss in 2nd gear, the car just wouldnt go. I think the test pipes were what was messing with my factory ECU the most. But now it pulls stronger than ever

No Hellaflush here

Thinking of 255 front 285 Rear but it depends on what the budget allows.
So worst case scenario nothing smaller than 275 245

what size do you run on your TE's?

After saving and waiting, i finally got my tires in! now due to several reasons, i couldnt get the 285/255 specs i wanted but in due time one day.




Hankook v12 275/35/19 rear
Hankook v12 245/35/19 front

i should be mouting the tires within the week. And now that this headache is out the way, i can move on to different parts of the build
