I called Bill yesterday to order a new chin spoiler for the heat exchanger, and asked about your orders. He said that they have received a surprising amount of orders lately and that a couple of items are on backorder, and the heat exchangers are stuck in customs!
This is pretty much what I expected. The exposure they got from that article in Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords a couple of months ago probably hit them a lot harder than they were expecting. I imagine they've been overwhelmed by the jump in orders because of it. I suppose patience is the only thing really in abundance right now?

If this is the case, he needs to tell his customers (you know the people who's money he's holding despite there being no product yet) the real story because this is the 3rd interpretation I've heard including his over the phone.This is pretty much what I expected.

It's not that lean. When they put a wideband on the tailpipe, it reads about .3 leaner than the actual ratio.
I guess that's assuming they took the reading from the tail pipe. When I had my car done, the tuner insisted on welding in an exhaust bung next to my stock O2 sensor and taking it ahead of the cats.

That's awesome. The only "correct" way to measure AFR is before the cats. The dyno operator told me that his wideband would read about .2 leaner than if it were pre-cat. So I think my tune is fine since I added fuel.
He said that when I ordered mine. Only thing he told me that they were waiting for were the manifolds. Oh well, as long I have can have it on by July I will be happy(my first big car show
)On a side note, I opted to get the SCT handheld tuner instead of the chip. That showed up yesterday

They didn't ship it, they ordered it themselves and drop shipped it to you.

I expected more of you to chime in regarding the strange dip at 5250 rpm. Is there anything else that could be BESIDES a problem with the dyno? I tried pulling a bunch of timing on one of the runs in case it was detonation, but that didn't change a thing.
Belt slip is sometimes a culprit for eratic horsepower figures, but I don't see it being an issue with that set up? Was there a drop at all in boost pressure to correspond with the drop in horsepower?

it's too coincidental for it to be at 5250 to not be the dyno, i have a dyno read out just like that where the next session the guy admitted it was the dyno that day. HP=TQ at 5250 and the dyno had to mess up the line to make that true so something was off. Boost should remain the same, and i doubt slippage with the stock pulley and an 8 rib kit.
Boost stayed the same, AFR stayed the same, and fuel pressure stayed the same. Nobody at the shop could think of a good reason it would do that other than issues with the dyno.
