^^^Agreed, 28* is super soft.
The exhaust upgrade only gaining a little bit of power is because you're still running that Cobra intake. If you can't get the air in, getting it out any faster won't really yield big results. You're gonna end up gaining like 50+ fricken HP when you swap intakes at this point.

The Cobra intake is ported. Heavily ported with shorter runners that flowed 326 cfm bolted together on his first dyno before his 2-step and computer/software change. A TFS -R flow between 275-250 cfm bolt together. That's not going to yield 50+ more hp. How in the world could the Cobra intake get 396 on a Mustang dyno, but 377 on the Dynojet? Plus a loss in torque witch is mechanical force, timing will effect that. Like I said something isn't right.


Here's a link manifold comparison. On a boost application. Str8 Baller first dyno was with a cleaned up RPM Manifold which made I believe 368/409 on a Mustang dyno.

I would have to go back and look but I'm 95% sure the 396hp was at 32deg, Next time on the dyno I will bring it up and see how it does. I'm really not chasing HP. I pointed out the 28deg because I knew the 396hp was at 32deg. Car is a monster and very fun to drive on the street. My goal was 500hp 500tq I'm way over that on nitrous. Right now when you put your foot to the floor it goes as a street car should. I'm not interested in making power to the point it just spins. But next time at the dyno I will bring it up till power falls off.

4 degrees of total timing is quite of bit. I wouldnt be surprised if that motor likes 34 degrees timing or more.
You made 396 with 32 degrees timing with a spacer on that same intake and MAC shorties, on a not so "number friendly" dyno. Then you added some nice and expensive long tubes, no spacer and then you drop the overall timing to 28*. Why not leave the total timing consistent from before to till now? I know you aren't chasing HP as you say, but you are spending time and money on the dyno, then whats the point of the TFS-R?

How big of a pill on the nitrous hit? Made some good torque on that run.

I never post clean pics of the car so I took it to the carwash and vacuumed it.

Was planning on going to the track thats why the cold air is on it and not the stock air box.

Also had the 28x10r17 Hoosiers slicks on it for the track.

Finally have my exhaust done it's all Stainless Steal. RCI 1 3/4 LT headers, RCI 3in H-pipe, 3in magnaflows, 3in all the way out the back, Its close with the 315/35r17s (26in tall -12.3in wide but it fits) The Cat-back came off Ebay it stuck out to far and had to be cut but its what was used. (Posted pics of the headers in earlier post)

I read this thread before and thought I saw you put the stock intake rubber elbow in boiling water to stretch it over your 80mm throttle body. I can’t find your post on it anymore but How long did u Leave the elbow in boiling water because I have an accufab 75mm and it is nearly impossible to get the elbow on even after letting the elbow inlet sit in boiling water. I don’t even like messing with it now that I got it on. Is yours that hard to take on and off? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sorry, Just seen this. Just long enough to make it pliable (few seconds) not to hard to get on and off after about like it was before I did it.

I did some updating on the radiator fan and have drove it a few hundred miles but but have only drove it like once in the last few months. Just haven't had time. (Its a toy and I'll get back to playing with it at some point)

Cool....any videos of it running with the new exhaust? You still running the Cobra intake?
