Just installed the Accufab TB/Plenum Combo.... I have to say, nice gains from the ol seat of the pants meter . The shop had a guy drop off a Cobra in a trailer and the trailer broke down right in front of the dyno so no dyno for me yesterday. Im hoping to have it done Sat or next Tues at the latest now.
Throttle responce is now. It like I can just tap the gas and the car wants to real forward. You can also feel the car really hit its power now above 3500-4000rpms. Its like there is the initial weight transfer when you stomp on the gas, then another weight tranfer when you pass around 3750rpms.
I do have the hanging idle now that some of you talked about, but its perfectly fine by me . The car will drop down and stick at around 1300rpms, then drop down to about 750 after 5 seconds or so. Thankfully it has raised my idle up some since the L/T install. After the L/Ts were on I was idling at around 600-650, now Im back to like 750-800
All in all Im very happy with the setup and am looking forward to the dyno results

You and I are pretty much in the same boat, having exhausted all the bolt-ons. The decision now is whethter to stay n/a (heads and cams) or go with a power-adder (blower, nitrous). I've been comparing n/a with a Vortech SQ-trim supercharger. Both will cost $4000-4500 with installation. The results, however, are greatly different: 300 rwhp (n/a) vs. 400 rwhp (blown). Because I want to be able to run with the big boys, I will probably go with the supercharger.

Yep, Ive been throwing around the idea of a s/c on this one, but just dont know if i want to go through the trouble since im still paying on it. I keep telling myself to just hold out and make the 5.0 my project car. It should be in my driveway in about 2 weeks . Its just hard to hold off when the g/f is talking about s/cing hers in about a year or so. I cant let hers be faster than mine now can I

'Real World' on Stangnet!!! This is great! My wife has me do all the posting, but she's not afraid to turn a wrench.
The idle on my Accufab upgrade calmed down after a week of driving, but never completely went back to stock. But it only hangs about a second now. Small price to pay for the kick in the pants, especially as you noted - in the 3K plus range.
