Just got the FD tuned.What do you guys think?

The mods are in my signature. Most parts were installed and it was tuned by Chris @ Banzai Racing. Tuned on a Mustang dyno.
294 rwhp
259 max torque
@ 12 psi

I don't know any other specifics yet. How do these numbers look to you guys?

Looking at your mods that looks like a really good number, I was expecting 260 - 280 to the rear. I think the shift **** really put you over.

260-280 was what I expected also so I'm happy about the 294. It was the shift **** and Chris of course.

Great numbers without having a midpipe or HF cat, especially on a Mustang dyno.

Here is the dyno sheet, we could have got a few more HP out of it but I don't like to push the stock injectors too far. This car still has the smog pump and main cat, so it starts to choke out the HP beyond 7K RPM, as you can see this is a 6500RPM run

looks about right...compared to mine. You have a bigger ic and I dont have the fuel pump/injectors and am running at 11 psi /stock motor--->>280 hp
Do you have a midpipe or stock cat?


Good tune and good motor imho.

Thanks guys. I wanted to keep the car fairly stock. I did lots of research and thinking about who I wanted to work on my car. I made a great decision taking it to Banzai-Racing. Elaine and Chris are without a doubt the best around.

Not bad. Get some larger injectors and turn up the boost. You should easily be able to break 300.
