Yep, Dr gas makes an X for LTs....but you have to watch out for which LTs you buy as they only work with certain LTs.

Go here www.drgas.com to find out more.

02laserRed2v I would have taken it back to ford if it only put down 205RWHP(new engine...claim lemon)...there is NO way it would loose 55 hp through the drivetran...max should be 40-45. MOST autos seem to put down 215-216ish. Your running with STOCK 5spd 98 GTs there at best. At least you have some power now.

I fail to mention 238rwtq. The shop that dyno'ed my car was puzzled as well. After that, I honestly didn't feel like modding my car at all.

later added magnaflow CB and Diablosport chip tune and put down 221/248, but it was running lean. Swapped to Predator tune and it made 216/250. Peak hp #s were lower but the overall power curve was greatly improved. It was putting down up to 20 more hp from 2-4K RPM.

Kinda late for me to take it back. Ah well, I really can't complain now. That was the main reason why I skipped most bolt ons and went straight for the blower.

Are #'s look about the same to me? My Xcal 2 just has a "canned" tune right now, get a few more mods and than get a custom tune.

yea my numbers are 240.8hp/281.6ft-lb. mods are very similer to yours. i have prochamber, and catback. with xcal2, what ever tune its in, i would think its worth little more then 1.2hp/0.4ft-lb.

lets think of this logically.

the best power you can get from a tuner is proably

10hp

catback

10hp

midepipe 10hp.

so at most you car would have 30 extra hp. most of the time those mods yeild in the 7-8 hp though. so that would be 21-24 hp.

that looks to be what you have.
