car is finally running, all BAP and tune related nonsense

You have the KB 2.6? I modified the lower manifold for better coolant flow and port matched to the stage 3 heads, added a methanol plate and modified the intake plenum(added about 25% more volume)

Yes 2.6. Stock cams, heads and jba shorties. The heads do have manley valves and comp springs but nothing that adds any extra flow. I also have a huge 10 gallon fuel cell I use for my intercooler water. I only run 3 to 4 gallons in it. But it holds 20 lbs of ice.

Ok. Went to the dyno on Friday. Only had a little time on it. At 13 degrees of timing at 14.5 lbs of boost the car made 545 rwhp at 6300 rpms. That was on a mustang dyno. So that is 600 to 625 on a dynojet.
There wasn't enough time to dial in the methanol, but I am going to bump up timing 2 degrees over 3500 rpms and run 50/50 instead of 30/70. Just going to keep an eye on knock retard.
The tuner was surprised it put down that much power at only 14.5 lbs of boost and 13 degrees of timing.
I spent the extra money on the heads, cams and intake mods so I wouldn't have to run 18 lbs or more of boost to get the same power.
Going to 15 degrees of timing with the right methanol mix will give me a little more power. Especially on 90 degree days.
So I think it was a successful build.
