Well, I know I have the High End gears. I dont want to say and make an *** out of myself cause Im not sure now! lol

Oh and its a 5 speed.

They left the car VERY clean! Im very happy so far, but I have only had it back 5 hours!

Well I worked out a "Deal" with the Vortech company and I really cant say. I got a break due to it being used as a research vehicle.

I envy you man . Not only do you have the Vortech S/C installed, but IMO you have the best color combination...love the Kona Blue with Silver Stripes! I wish I wound have chosen the same.

Good luck with the car!

I honestly think its the way the car is broke in. I have a personal belief that if the car is broke in hard from the get-go, this results in better compression and thus more HP. From what I understand, the result can be a 20 percent increase. I know this is a contentious issue, so I say this is how I do it; its not for everyone.

*EDIT* Btw, that is an awesome looking 10. I love the color/stripe combo, and job they did under the hood looks really nice and professional!

congrats on the S/C!!....I have to agree with some of the others, the numbers seem way low, even for being true wheel horsepower numbers from a Mustang Dyno. It definitely could be a number of things...

looks very similar to the kits on the 05-09's..here's a picture of the Vortech HO S/C on my old 2005 GT. On a Mustang Dyno it made 425rwhp/404rwtq @ 8.11 psi.

It looks EXACTLY like your system. Ya know, I agree about the numbers. They do look low, and the car is SICK fast now so maybe there off a bit....??? Maybe I need to get it tested again.

I thought Mustang Dynos tend to read on the low side. Awesome looking car tho, I love that color, congrats!!

Just got word from Vortech. They told me that that use a "Mustang Dyno MD-250" and they usually read VERY low compared to other Dyno's. Thats why my before and after spec's seem really low. Guess that makes sense.
