yep
FRPP and JBA shorties fit out of the box. BBK don't, Gibson don't, etc... Stock manifolds will do just fine. Longtubes should hit the market in a few months if things go really well.

I think I'm getting rid of the Mustang now that we are about done moving... Might be going to an LSX based car.

guys.. that's a great deal for the parts he's got. There's almost his whole asking price just in the pistons and rods. Someone snap this up before he has to ebay it. 281... hate to see you ditch the stang man. LMK how things end up.

I'm pretty certain I can crack 300rwhp and 340tq just by cutting out a couple % of fuel and bumping the timing a hair. The baseline tune was intended to be über safe and it was. I'm happy as hell with the baseline pulls showing this much power. That's a good sign. Dyno graph coming in a few minutes.

BTW... I don't even want to get into the whole mustang dyno vs. dynojet dyno debate. Yeah DJ's read a tad higher. That's ok. I'll live with the lowest numbers being enough to make me happy.

I just got approved for my new car loan, and got the blank check from the bank - so I think its almost safe to say that the Mustang is outa here...

I finally collected a few more parts to help finish up my install.
reds got me all excited!

I'm going to be heading down to SoCal here pretty soon to get those longtubes to market. It should be pretty easy to deal with. That'll mean longtubes being a bolt on option for all of you not too long from now.
W00t!

How come your dyno sheet looks like you let off the throttle at 5200 rpm, your chart looks like hp was still climbing? Just curious why the low rpms. Looks good by the way! Closer than most of us, I just found out it will be another month to get my heads done, CnC porting is in the busy season right now, great! I have one set and this place does work for all the big names out there in lots of a hundred plus sets.

The dyno was set to sample from 2k to 5250. That was the part that was important to me for this run. I actually limited myself to 5500rpm and yes it was still climbing... there's probably another 10hp on tap if I run it to 6K with the existing tune but remember, the 2v is a midrange rpm engine. The previous run I shut it down at 5200 and it made similar tq but 269hp. I can run it to 6K no problem but this was just a baseline run and not one "for the record" so to speak.
I wanted to see what the thing pulled off with little or no tuning. I'm actually impressed as hell cuz this is right now a pretty over-safe tune. There's more in it yet.

with the cam and intake setup I have it peaks at about 4k. To get down to 3K for a tq peak you'd want an intake with a little longer runner and a cam a little closer to a stage 1 like a comp xe262.
Any lower peak tq rpm would generally bring the peak value up. A more radical cam will generally bring the peak tq rpm higher and cost a bit of peak.
New numbers tomorrow afternoon. We'll see how it pans out.

I'm going to my appointment in about 2 hours. If I see the big differences in the rear wheel numbers then for my 3rd run today I'll pull a little fuel out of the tune and see how see does. Naturally and changes will be noted.
The tq curve on the navigator engine will depend heavily on the intake. If you're using the cams we spoke last about then I think you'll do fine at the low end you may drop a little tq but the top end pull will be plum mean compared to mine. I don't think you'll dislike it one bit.
