I would of had it done sooner but nobody offer to pay for the dyno or installation. Are you chipping in ??? this was not cheap to have this install and chances are i could see no gain.

Which is why you should just install stuff yourself.

Oh really the Ric Shaw.. You stated earlier in this thread that you were going to purchase the Interceptor-X.. I am sure that you will have your car by tomorrow.. You must be excited as heck to drive it.. I know I would be.

be sure to weigh the stock header and let us know, I'm more interested in the weigh savings than power gain

That means we won't know from this dyno session what power gain the headers provide.

So tuning + header gave you 210 on a mustang dyno? or do you have other mods? Baseline? Still wonder what the header did...

Have you talked to someone about the nitrous yet ? Our resident guru (before he had to leave) Charles R. Hill was trying to run stuff beyond a 55 shot with the CZ unit, exhaust, intake, etc & was getting detonation. Hopefully since you got the Rick Shaw unit probably you will be able to fine tune the AFR's a bit better. but you better be careful. Don't want you blowing your engine. There was a guy on here that ran a 75shot of nitrous, but he was bone stock. The intake & hi-flow cat. may lean your car out a bit, & with you tuning, even more than that. Maybe some colder plugs.

I been running a 50 shot for a while and i did install colder plugs a while back. I'm praying everything goes well . I will shoot it a bit tommorow and see what happens if it blows i will port the engine let just hope it does not come to that.
