Agreed, the splicing of the act wire stunk, no space. Grinding sucked, didnt grind enough and put on and took off the fead system like 5 times. The two clamps at the manifold intercooler also sucked. The rest was ok.

The monoblade is not cooperating. Don has been great and responsive but I fear the stock gt500 tb will need to go on unless I find values for it. Right now we are on kenne bell 168mm tb values. Im getting pretty good at data logging haha.

Car moves too quick part throttle i cant do long stretches. I smile with every revision he sends.

Also to get the cooling system going squeeze the upper rad hose till you see the reservoir go down about an inch, that will get enough coolant in the water pump for it to purge itself. The ic system will purge itself no intervention needed

Dan, has been great help above and beyond. We are almost there at the WOT phase. And already getting used to the power. The car feels nose heavy, i need better dampners or GT500 front spings. The boss spec ones are not keeping up with the extra nose weight.

I thought the exact same thing when I put it on. After a month or so, I got used to it. Or maybe the suspension just didn't like hanging freely for the weekend during install and then got back to its normal self.

I can get used to it. But rebound and compression definetely changed especially under hard breaking. I hit an expansion joint of different height under breaking and the car acted like a snoop dog rap video. Bouncing the front 100 mph comes up way too easy. I have lowering springs so bottom out is coming on sooner.

Love the kit, looks great and factory, went to a cars and coffee and there were ppl checking it out. Before I didnt get looks, maybe the thoughts of a boosted coyote sparks interest. IDk.

If you are doing a custom tune you should toss the stock air box and pully down. I put my limiter to 8,000 to save the oil pump gears as I did not change them out. I plan on shifting at 7k still but dont want any accidents and go into the rev limiter.

Does your tune use iat2? Wondering if you are using stock strategy or if you are on the roush strategy for tuning?

Stock strategy. Iat2 is not being picked up by the PID.

Ok so how are you setting up the timing to account for IAT post blower? curious in how that works as I have Advantage software too but have been wondering what to do. I guess we could adapt iat1 to use the sensor in the manifold vs the one in the MAF.

This was a discussion with Don Lasota. Still researching came to what you stated. What does VMP and Lund do? or even Ford racing as it is an ecu flash, roush requires you to send in the ECU. Looking for ideas.
