Ah on our Mustang dyno I am not anticipating seeing anything with a 8 in front of it. We have a baseline of the vehicle so we'll know the HP/TQ improvements though!

Haha come on its cooler down there now

But I know spoiled up here but I think i'd trade 1-2lbs of boost for all year driving/racing weather. Well dyno is just a tool lol no need for the number games.

Thought you'd appreciate that

You should've opened up the new shop in Illinois and made my life a lot easier!

Since the original baseline numbers were a bit lower than anticipated I had a hunch that lifter preload was incorrect. Going on that hunch we lifted the valve covers to check preload. Needless to say this is why you just don't throw in the pushrods that come in a "kit". Lifter preload on intake was .130" and exhaust was .125" ...

Also it's nice that everything was impact gunned down, as you can see we needed to use a 2' breaker bar to break rocker bolts loose...

When Matt told me this shit last night I wanted to go to the other shop and
:slice:

None the less Matt got the correct Pushrods ordered so we should now be good to go.
