Firstly, mind the new signature. (bronze guides, SS valves wouldn't fit)

Been busy lately but figured I'd bring the rest of stanget who don't know up to speed. Car's done - figured I shoot a video even though it needs a wash and I haven't adjusted the tips from the build yet. Car's great, I'm pretty pissed that my camera can't pick up the deep end of the "lopey" sound which means I have a new respect for all the severely lopey vids I've seen as they must be much more narley in person. This is with MPH 91 octane tune as well, so idle is bumped up to around 900rpm which means a bit less lope and a lot more comfort at a stop light, lol.

YouTube - Stage 1 cams/Ported Heads/High comp Mustang GT

Thing I'm most impressed with so far is the low end torque - no i'm not smoking anything but this car seriously has none of the hesitation at throttle around town it used to. It's incredibly smoothe on throttle. Up top it pulls like a small german V8 (sorta like the new M3) it just keeps compouding and compounding power and doesn't give up. I haven't gone WOT throttle YET - still have about 200 miles before i change to sythetic and my breaking in will be done followed by dyno vid posted here.

***UPDATE*** 10/24
Stock:




Size comparison:


Installed, not bled yet:






Fineto:


SRT was right. With the teflon wrapped SS lines this shat is so damn firm. It's scary, I loves it. Found all kinds of old stuff rolling out from under my seats

***UPDATE 9/30***

I believe, and everyone has agreed so far, that the car is much more deep sounding and less raspy than with NPI parts. Even at 38mph when i shift into 2nd there's no more crackly loudness, just smoothe deceleration. Sounds like it grew some balls a bit.

Thanks Mark. It sure feels good to have it done - feels like i performed CPR on her. I keep thinking to myself, i went from 150 to 231 CFM; wholly crap.

Sac Stang meet! I'll be living out there by the end of the year, too. As of now, I'm in the East Bay but I'm in Sac all the time. I wonder if I've seen any Stangnet guys around? Haven't seen Epik, I know that for a fact.
