Default Lucky Mustang

So today was pretty interesting. I have a 2005 V6 S197 with T-Lok and X-Charger Ho-Po Kit. I've been running the can tune from Bamachips that came with the X-Charger. Long story short, I decided to go to BlowByRacing to get my car dynotuned. I waited 2 and half hours before they even got my car on the dyno, I was a bit upset. Then out of the blue, Chris (salesperson) comes into the dynoroom with this orange haired guy. I figured it was just another customer.

Apparently it was Doug from Bamachips! I got to meet him and he is a pretty coolguy. Since I had a X-Charger, he pulled out his laptop and helped to dynotune my car. He even showed me a little something to do on my X-Charger kit that let me get full fuel pressure at full throttle, because beforehand the computer didn't know.

Not only did I get to meet Doug and get my car tuned by him at no extra expense, but I got to experience the Super Snake Shelby #4 on the dynotune, even got to look under the hood. Apparently there are only around 7.

So, today was pretty cool...By the way, the tune is awesome.

The Super Snake Shelby was putting out 725HP to the wheels I think. I was putting out 250 HP and 257 TQ. But thats because I have stock driveshaft, stock gears, no intercooler of any type, and 18" wheels.

Basically, if I got an aluminum driveshaft, 3.73's, water-to-air IC....I'd have over 300 definately AFTER drivetrain loss. Unfortunately thats about $1500 of parts/labor lol. But I literally do 0-100 in under 10 seconds.
