Monsterous gains, although I would have liked to see the TQ around the same output as HP. It would generate more HP under the curve, as it only seems to hit 500rwhp around 6000rpms.

Did this make the supercharger louder? 7 psi is actually extremely impressive!

It really didn't make it all that much louder, which surprised me. If I have time I'll cut together a video to show the difference.

It's just getting going at 6000RPM. It was still pulling hard with the V2.0 Intake when we let out at 7200RPM.

Incredible gains for just a CAI! Hope Magnuson includes the new intake as an acceptable modification in their warranty plan.

When are you taking it to the track for some 1/4 mile times?

I'd like to get to the track soon, but it's hard to tell when I'll find the time. ATM the SVTP GT is tucked away in the garage while we get caught up on a few other projects.

Any reason you didnt stick to the orange filter lol?

I thought it looked great.

Also seems like the tune was very good and has a great curve. Seems to build its power pretty high though and alittle more race track oriented but a nice curve never the less.

The Airaid filter is bigger and made for the Airaid heatshield, so it just fit better.

The tune is rock solid. It pulls like a freight train.

I'm sure a few of the local members would help you out with with the car:)

The problem is finding time in my schedule.

I want to try a bigger TB. The thing to keep in mind though is that even with the Magnuson there's still not going to be a 90mm hole behind that TB.

I'm curious as to what the limiting power of the engine is (crank, rods pistons).. your close to 700 hp at the crank with a stock long block 5.0.. The Coyote team says the forged. powdered-metal connecting rod is the least robust link in the 5.0 chain. Engineers noted it is absolutely strong enough for its naturally aspirated application in the Mustang, but just absolutely strong enough.

Honestly, it's anyone's guess. If she goes we'll just put something better in it's place.

pretty cool and nice gains

Thanks:beer:

Great right up again! Any plans to test just the box and open element filter compared to the stock box, with the new mass air meter tube. I am really trying to see if it's worth swapping out my stock air box for a jlt box. I have the Paxton kit which comes with a much larger mass
air meter tube. Thanks again for your great testing!

Also the forged powered rods have been around for a while. I've seen stock internals with over 600rwhp last a lot longer than i would have bet on. Though some cars crap out after a few beating on those rods. It's hit or miss.
