ORIGINAL: StartMeUp

If it gives you another 4 HP and it was in the 2005's but not the 2006's, why didn't Ford rate the 2006's at 304HP? Sorry, just wanted to be a little picky.
read the article dude, on the other pages, they say that they dynoed with and without it and they found 4rwhp gain without that thing. that thing blocks some of the air and without it engine breathes a lot better.

he knows that, just wondering why its not RATED at 304 since the dyno shows about a 4 hp gain and 06 stockers don't have the trap . . .

4 wheel would be 5 or 6 crank anyway though. . . rate'em at 305 . . . heh heh

Because Ford got sued awhile back for overrating the horsepower on the mustang. I imagine all mustangs have more than 300hp at the crank.

they are tunning that RED 2006 MUSTANG GT dude.. that car is 2006 and they found that vapor rap on 2006 stang GT. this article is from a brand new magazine.

Your brand new magazine is also showing a picture of a XCal 1 that is outdated and no one sells anymore ........dude.
Vapor traps have been gone since April of 05

i think it was the 99's actually. then they did a warrantee thing to make them up to the advertised HP.

I just tripped over mine in the second floor of my garage the other day. I wish I had a dime for every thread started about that thing back in the spring of 05.

I guess if the factory wokers felt energetic that day they put it in, otherwise they left it out when no one was looking, you know like "Friday cars". LOL
