It hit 11lbs at 6350rpms. I dont get over 10lbs which is around 6k rpms. Its running a pretty conservative tune.

Thats what I thought at first. Then when I picked up the stang I sat down and talked with the owner at Dyno Tuned Performance. He does all the tuning. Like everyone has said the tune is where its at. Right now I have the canned tune from Brenspeed and they have not had one single blowup with their paxton package on an otherwise stock mustang. The guys and DTP and I had a good discussion about my goals for the car. They said I could get up to about 510rwhp and run her hard and still be ok(always a risk though).There are nopromised or guarantees at this power level. They have a customer the is running 536rwhp in his 05 gt and they told him he is at the limit. Plain and simple he is on the edge and told him not to be surprised if it blows at anytime. They are the main shop around here and he only works with the SCT2. However I feel I am on the edge though. I do plan on going forged soon though. I am maxed out with my fuel system though, that is my mail concern at this time. So I am backing down the rev limiter. I dont take the car over 6k. It made the 477 at 6350 so I have plenty of power at 6k.

RE: GT vs. WS6
I talked to Brent about the car. Frank does all the paperwork and stuff. They co own the shop. I dont remember the mechanics name, Brent just does the tuning. However the "kit" is at it limit. However the intercooler is good up to 900hp and I have seen the 2200 well over 600rwhp. I heard it was good up to 900+ as well. I just need fuel upgrades. Dual GT500 Pumps w/ BAP's is what I plan on doing when I go forged.

RE: GT vs. WS6
I am going to do the dual GT500 pumps withthe BAP. 60LB Injectors, havent decided on fuel rails yet, I want to upgrade those as well. The reason I am set on the GT500 pumps is the fact that they are the #1 used. Therefore easier to tune since almost all tuners have had experience. Also that is what Brent recommended. Rule #1 is keep your tuner happy!
As far as paxton. Thats why I chose this kit for its single head unit application. I dont want to keep upgrading like w/ procharger. I wanted a really solid base that I could build around. Also this thing it quite the sleeper. It doesnt really whistle or anything at idle. Only thing noticable is when I get into the boost it sounds like a jet. I am super happy with what I have so far.
