Stu, Fantastic! I think I watched that drive away clip 4 times!

If you send me the clip I shorten it for you if you want. I could even put the two of them together.

PM me if your interested.

Finally got the car back to Brenspeed today for my dyno run. It told me what I already knew. The headers/cam combo really woke the car up. Got 343 RWHP and 320 RWT. Even Brent was surprised at how well it did and double checked his settings. I am lucky my car is one that responded well to the Kooks headers & Hi-Flo catted H-Pipe. To recap, after the cam install last fall I had 299 RWHP. Nice 44 HP gain from adding the Kooks headers.

Link to video on dyno. Wish I had used my other camera. This one does not do the sound justice. I removed the off-road mufflers. This is with the stock Roush mufflers. Give it a minuet to load.

Getting set ..............

Great numbers....I didn't know they were open yet. Unfortunately they lost their #1 guy....Dave Bahoda. Not sure what I am going to do now, he was the reason I was leaning in their direction.

The dyno is up and running. Still doing installations at the temp location. Watch the top video here. Mustang News Updates By Brenspeed gives a tour of what will be.

There is no doubt Dave had a personality everyone liked. Brent (owner) always did the tunning though so you are in good hands still. They had a car in there today from Alaska and just finished one from Washington State. People travel quite a distance for quality service and to be treated with respect. At the end of the video you will see a pretty nice car with some impressive numbers.

You will love it when you are done.

That may be a toss up. The cams are just plain fun. I just love the sound and the shake at idle. The headers are what brought all my mods together. I can't prove it but I really wonder if my cats weren't starting to plug up before I did the cams. I kinda attribute that to my initial low HP number with the cams. 44 HP is a nice jump for headers. I think it just let everything finally breath. The headers made the exhaust sound great.
My total power train mods are Steeda UDP's, Steeda economy motion deletes, Steeda CAI, Stage 2 Thumpr Cams, Kooks headers W/catted H-pipe, Brenspeed tune (the canned tune I ran since spring was dead on) and Dynotech drive-shaft. Brent said normal HP #'s for these mods would be around 320 -330. I think 343RWHP has to be right around 400 engine? The car definitely has a power band. You feel it really kick in at the 3000 RPM mark. You will notice in the graph the torque does not have the peak but it gets there and stays with no drop off. I am very happy how it turned out. It had me scratching my head for awhile though. The 3.73 gears brought back the missing torque feeling and gave the cams better town rpm range. After the cams my mileage dropped to 18 mpg. The headers and 3.73's burought me back up tp 20mpg.

Hope I answered your questions?

Thought I had better add this. It was not my intention to convince anyone of anything. Just posting my likes, my mods and the results. For what I spent you could have a supercharger w/more power. Make the decision on what YOU really want and then MOD AWAY!
