Default Headers Installed
Pics Added
It took 2+ months to get my headers from Maryland Speed
Big thanks to Straightline Performance for getting them installed and tuned so quickly.

The car sounds beastly with the exhaust open, yet civil with it closed. I get the best of both worlds!!



I picked up some nice power, she puts down 678 RWHP, up from 639 RWHP on a Mustang Dyno.

I have really similar mods, except running meth and no ported blower. Going in for tuning today/ tomorrow. Are you on full e85 or a blend of e85/93?

SO 47% blend E85, with no meth and no cam (fuel lobe), at 680rwhp.... That's pretty damn good.. What about if its on straight pump gas, I assume they take a TON of timing out to keep it safe?

I'd like to do a similar combo and really don't want to mess with a meth system or cam.....It almost seems like meth is a necessity...

I haven't dyno'd it on straight 93. I believe meth is helpful in running a higher level of corn. I have to keep it under 45% otherwise it runs out of fuel in the upper RPM ranges.

Awesome. Sounds fantastic.

What's your technique to keep the right blend of fuels in the car during fill ups?

Damn good Power for only an upper pulley with no meth, especially on a mustang dyno.... Not having to worry about meth system is awesome as well.

You have a nice combo there.

How are you blending the e and pump? Separate in a tank or at the pump in your tank? How are you checking % that the sensor is seeing?
