It was more impressive as I watched a few of your other videos which shows the improvment. Great work.

Now quit teasing us and get to the track on a cool day and let her rip:thumbsup

Picked the car up in Miami yesterday morning drove to west palm and dyno'd 3 viper trucks until 10;30 last night and drove home to st Augustine and got in around 2am. So to date I have not had any time at all to do that. All thing's being equal I hope to get an afternoon this week to spend some quality dyno time with her again.

You know very well that I like high quality OEM fitting assemblies. In this case a 100% aluminum radiator without what I suspect were OEM plastic tanks IMO is a great thing and then add to this greater capacity and likely a more efficient core = a home run in my mind.

Keep up the great work

Alright the 2 bar 15 psi limitation is out of the way now and I moved up to a 3 bar map sensor that will allow a peak of 30 psi. Here comes hi boost woohoo ! :biggrin

Since Ford really limited the stock top end (I think 130ish) what is the top end now with all the mods?
