Default Many Don't Know Me... Vortech Finally Done with Tune

So a lot of people in here don't know me.

I have a 2002 Mustang GT auto that was completely stock with a catback and Ford Racing trans cooler. Then I decided to put a Vortech V1 on over the winter time which took forever. There's also 42 lb injectors, and Division X pump that completed the kit.

I finally got my car on the dyno jet at Racekrafters in Lancaster, PA. It put down 347 whp 333 torque running 9 psi. I can say I'm pretty satisfied.

Wow 9psi gives only 347 rwhp? You have a intercooler?

No intercooler, no power pipe. 3.6 pulley. The way he worded it over the phone, he said he was conservative with tune.

The car has 104k miles.

Numbers look just fine with no I/C and no power pipe. Why didnt you intercool it? Shoulda just saved and did it all at once. Regardless, start saving and intercool it ASAP otherwise all you got is a novelty racer.

sounds about right, add a power pipe 3.33 pulley and intercooler and it would be over 400.

Yeah I kinda agree with that but I know every car is different I managed to put down 339/359 @5psi(bad tensioner its up to 7+psi now but havent been back on the dyno) through an auto V1- S trim. But like I said every car is different.

Ok yeah the power for your setup sounds right then.

Get a 3.33 pulley a I/C and a powerpipe and you will notice a big difference
