Holly Crap. Here's what went down.
Vortech V-2 S-Trim
AFM Power Pipe
90MM Lightning MAF
Accufab 75MM Throttle Body
Bassani X-Pipe with High Flow Cats
Bassani Cat Back
42Lb/Hr Fuel Injectors
SCT X-Calibrator with 2 Custom Dyno Tunes
FRPP 3.73 Gears
Kenny Brown Sub-Frame Connectors
Autolite 103 Plugs .030-.035
Autometer 2-1/16th Ultra Lite Vacuum / Boost Gauge and Pillar Pod

And it looks like a 255 lph Fuel Pump???
Total insanity. Fast as hell. Can any one explain how the gauge is read/translated.

The boost gauge displays both boost and vacuum PSI. when you are at idle or part throttle driving, you will notice the gauge will read in vacuum. when you get on it, and get in the boost, the gauge shows how much boost the blower is producing.

Thanks. The Dyno reading has it at 373 RWHP and the same for torque. What does anyone think the actual engine HP is?

Bout 410-420. Alot of people go in %s but its really not THAT accurate. You generally loose 30-40RWHP through the drivetrain. Oh and congrats!

He is a small business owner who has rewarded himself by buying a Mustang and having it all done at once in a reputable shop. Nothing wrong with that. Now he has come to Stangnet, to learn. I bet in a few months he will know what a boost guage means and a whole lot more

Everyone has to start learning some time and some where. Heck, even I had to

Thanks Kilgore. I'm a master electrician not mechanic. I know about what I need to know about, and I know that when I stomp the gas on my 04, it's F-ing killer!!!!

On another note, the frame extenders seem to really improve the ride and tighen things up. Much nicer when driving normally. I think the 3:73's also improved this from the stock jumpin' when shifting.
