Truth!
Eric, I'm running 40 series on my Street tires with the PF01's 275/40/18 Hankook V12's

I probably have a little too much Gap for DD'ng...but who cares ?

Travis...I would guess that your before tune will be around 235-240 rwhp and possibly after the tune...maybe 260 rwhp. +20 would be a great gain...most of the peeps averaged about 20 more HP from the tune. But your engine will definitely fell more responsive.

well just from the Dyno's I've seen over the years...most all of us have the same mods so....Yes I took those into consideration.

I might be off...but I bet I'm pretty close.

I know it is a little disconcerting when you think your getting a 300+ Hp car and it only puts down a 225-230 stock on a Mustang Dyno !

----------------


On another note....anybody see these for sale on CL ?

The company I ordered the kinetix V+ through didn't have it in stock so the order was cancelled. So I'm back to deciding which way to go

Bah, I just talked to kinetix and they have had issues with the V+ rubbing the underside of the hood on the 2006. I have a cf hood so its iffy. I may go plenum spacer to be safe
