I haven't really done any appearance mods other then tint window and my cobra shift **** to go along with my mgw sts. Question for you OP, How is it you only make 495rwhp with a ported blower and I almost make that with a non ported blower? It seems like your numbers are low.

SVT tach decal... the obvious lowered/ wheels/tires. Painted the lower part of my rear bumper. Painted my cobra emblems to match the body. Cleaned the crap out of the motor (It's never ending, though). I got my Motive gears decal on my gas tank cover. I think that's about it as far as appearance mods. I really don't like the bling bling (polished/ painted interior parts, ect). I think the one thing that will make your car stand out is to have it absolutely spotless. Polish the back-side of your wheels, clean the wheel wells, and clean the motor. A good buff job will go a long way, too.

all of the stock (non ported cars I have seen) have beein in the low - mid 400 range... i actually have quie a few other friends with Terminators and I have seen several on the dyno... i have never seen an unported car run over 450RWHP (give or take).. Is your power at the crank?

on a side note-

i am still running stock MAF, Injectors, and i have no BAP.... My MAF is just about pegged so i believe the tune is conservitive. I have an appointment with Mstang magic to make sure everythings 110% on May 15th

No my power is at the rear wheels. All my mods are listed in my "garage" page. My numbers are also SAE. I'm trying to hit 500rwhp with no port and no n20.

so your running a stock MAF, injectors and no BAP? with no port work at all. What kind of dyno were you on? i dont want you to take me the wrong way.. im not doubting you or suggesting anything about your #'s... im just impressed and have never seen a stock 4V with pully's, exhaust, and tune put down that kind of POWAH... Do you have a sheet?

Yup! My tuner was shocked with the power it made, then again my car just hit 14k miles.

Dyno numbers are just that numbers they really don't mean a whole lot. Every dyno is different I have a ported blower and a 2.76 and my hp is around 490. That is after 9 pulls to get the a/f right if it was cool I may have gotten another 10 or so hp. It also depends on if the tuner made the tune fat and kept the timing low all this affects the hp.

Well one way or the other, one of you is going to be closer to reality than the other. I would like to see your 1/4 and ET, that will tell you if you have a factory freak (which dont exist)
