Because Mustang dyno and 100 degrees of TX heat?
It was easily 100F+ in the dyno room yesterday since it opens to the outside, not the air conditioned shop, plus Calvin had just finished tuning an Evo.

Overall, I'm very happy! Solid numbers for a stock baseline, plus it makes my X look that much more impressive (425whp/400wtq)!

Yup, but having 350lbs of TQ at under 2000RPM sure is sexy :D

AFE Momentum ProDryS intake & Weapon-X ported throttle body installed this weekend! I'm still waiting for Diablo to release their AFE intake OTS map, but when they do I will flash it on and take the car back to the dyno to see the gains.

Looks clean and subtle. I like it. If you didn't know any better you'd never even notice. That to me is how you can tell the good aftermarket stuff from the great stuff, when it can pass for OEM.

I've been really impressed with AFE products. I ran their filter in my S2k, their Stage 2 intake in my X, and now their Momentum intake and only keep getting more impressed with their products as they progress. No aftermarket product is perfect, but theirs are as close as I've found. BMW guys take note, they make a ton of stuff for your cars too.

The car immediately started up and ran/idled just fine. Drivability is great; I am getting a little rev-hang between gears buy my X did the same with the ported TB and it just took the ECU a little while to learn & adjust for it. The car sounds even meaner now, throttle response is much improved, and the butt dyno tells me the parts are doing their job :)

GHEYRAY WILL OWN YOU!

Such a nice little setup, and the best part is you can sell it once you install the blower! :)
