The planets aligned last night, aka the rain has finally stopped, and I was able to get on the dyno to get the Fabspeed header results. They did very well. I'll post the graph when it's emailed over. I'll be on E85 by the weekend.

Again, sorry for the delay, fellas. We've had our rainiest season in 20 years and every time I booked an appointment it rained. I just don't feel comfortable driving on R888R's for an hour each way. Too risky.

Fabspeed headers results.

I've put headers on nearly every car I have owned and this was my first "holy ****" experience. The cars is now an animal from 3500 to 6500 RPM's, which is where most of my daily driving takes place. I really couldn't be happier.

Nice. Are these the catless longtubes from Fabspeed? Would you attribute this increase to the E85, headers, or both? Dynojet or Mustang Dyno? Thanks for sharing!

These gains were on pump gas and the Fabspeed RS sport headers, which have cats.

Next trip to the dyno will be E85. I wanted to do this in stages to see what mods make sense.

Was this a dynojet dyno?

Nice numbers with those headers! Was that with factory side mufflers and a center muffler bypass?

The saga continues!

I made it to the dyno last night and it didn't go very well. I actually didn't make any power, but we figured out why. Right where the car should really start to make power there just isn't enough fuel in the tune. I called a buddy at Cobb and found out the OTS map was from a bone stock GT3. Apparently with a muffler delete and headers my car breathes much better.

Today I was able to speak with Jon from Dyno Spectrum. Jon used to work for Cobb and is actually responsible for their E85 tune. He's invited me to their shop to tweak on the map a little bit and I am sure this will be something we can pass a long to any of you who make the switch.

On a positive note the car runs great on E85 and I am saving $2 a gallon in California. haha
