Just got home from Brenspeed This morning. Vortech install, delete plates,Kooks long tubes w/ high flow H pipe ,vent gauge pods with a/f and boost gauge and black valve covers. Dyno runs were made yesterday afternoon at Brenspeeds new shop in Indiana [yes I drove from NJ to Indiana]. Car ran 436 to the wheels with 389 torque. I am needless to say very happy with these numbers.Car ran great on the trip home 12.5 hour run. Temp good all the way , a/f 14.7 while running any consistent speed . No pings or detenation that I could hear and 12.5 hours is plenty of time to listen. Kicked up into boost quite a few times I am running between 8 to 10 pounds depending how hard I hit it.I would highly recommend Brenspeed for me it has been well worth the ride. The folks there treat each customer on a very personel level. Was given a "guest house' to stay in while my work was done, treated to dinner and walked through each aspect of these mods.Great bunch of dedicated Mustang lovers.

congrats! I am looking forward to a Brenspeed trip at some point. The guest house idea is great.

Just curious, that seems like quite a difference in HP and Torque numbers. I didn't see a cam mentioned, so I am guessing your redline is at 6500. Is it common to have much more power than torque with Vortech Superchargers? Or maybe it is the longtubes.

Grey, Redline on the Bullitt is 6700. long tubes and delete plates, are in my mind stealing some torque. But I will say this I am very comfortable with the lower torque numbers I believe its a bit easier on the engine. Also right now this feels like so much more went from about 320 torque stock / 290 to the wheels on a good day with the mods I had to what is now. Run , Walk or crawl to Brenspeed.

Awesome write up - thanks.

How about posting how much things cost (if you don't mind)?

Also, how was the drive out (see you are from NJ - I'm from DE - thinking about driving out)?

Livin , From soup to nuts Vortech V-3 kit, Kooks long tubes w/ high flow catted H pipe, Black krinkle valve covers, Steeda delete plates[billit], Custom dyno tune by Brent and all labor and misc parts = $ 7300. This includes being taken out to dinner and getting to stay at the guest house 3 bedrooms ,plasma tv,two car garage,spotless clean bring friends or family. The drive up was'nt bad i stayed over night about halfway . The drive back was an all nighter and i would strongly suggest a co-driver. Takes about 12 hours to drive it.

Erzats, with a few mid 80 degree days here in the northeast I was wondering how the non-intercooled kit is doing - any issues?

Thanks.

with ET streets you should be seeing 12s easy. the first time i took the stang out stock with pretty worn tires I was running 2.3x with mid 14s 1/4, with intake, tune and ET steets and onle one run I got 13.9. Would have been better if I got to run more than once.. I havent gone yet with my mods, but have been thinking about the non-intercooled v3 myself. maybe in the spring..

enjoy man
