I spent a little over 3k for exhaust and intercooler so, yes my "cheapass" feels good about the purchase. I do agree with you that the 5 hp must be on a stock car. I want the car to adapt more so time will tell. While driving home from work, I ripped it plenty and often and did see temps reach 250 for a point. The power does feel very consistent- ala less heatsoak. I have a 6at and I do feel that there is some lag with the larger intercooler but the top end rush makes up for it. It really hauls on the freeway. Muahaha!!!stage 2.5 represent. I still want stage 3 tho. |

If something goes wonky again prior to next appt I'll take it in *otherwise I'm safe cruising around Calgary*. No road trips planned until later next month. re: The 5HP gain from the FMIC install *without S3 flash*, after speaking with the Dinan rep today I'm inclined to believe that even the S2 flash will provide a modified flash if one indicates the vehicle has a aftermarket IC (software apparently prompts for various mods before install begins).

This is all the badging I need. My buddy has a shop down here in San Jose so if 335iballer or anyone else wants to dyno on their awd mustang dyno-definitely not a dyno queen- but it will give good comparative numbers. I can set it up since he's been wanting to dyno my car.

I don't believe that I got a new grill...I assume its the same plastic one as OEM. I'll check. They did take out those two black plastic vertical braces to make the new IC fit. I did get the box the IC came in along with the OEM IC and OC...wonder if I could sell the OC to someone who needs one...hmmm...

Thank you, sir! I greatly appreciate the kind words. Its nice to hear even the slightest confirmation that this addiction is not lost on everyone...
As soon as the Morr VS8s arrive I hope I can lay off for a while...long enough to save my pennys for the supposed air box and racing exhaust coming out late summer....haven't gotten confirmation of Stg. IV flash to go with said upgrades, but it sure would be nice.

nice!!! i will find out next week..i am having it done too..it would have been sooner but they had to mod the inter cooler somehow and they had to send it back..so now they got the inter cooler and the oil cooler didn't come in..so i gotta wait a few more days.
great review though!! i am glad your happy..i still wish they would allow it without the oil cooler..it's kind of ridiculous..or offer a better deal when you buy all 3 esp to those who have bought stage2. |
