So as a lot of you know I recently took the jump to Kooks LTs (huge thanks to the hookup from Lethal Performance!) and figured while I was there might as well swap to a flex fuel tune. I live near Sacramento, so it's a no brainer to take the car to Shaun at AED here locally.

I was really hoping to see 526 rwhp by the end (thought it would be cool to keep the factory number but then the curve ball "to the wheel"). My 5.0 picked up about 48rwhp from longtubes, cai, tune On 91 so I didn't think I was asking for TOO much.

Let's just start with: the car is LOUD. At wot, almost too much for me. A lot more rasp at this point also so I may look into resonators or another muffler in the future. Right now I'm just happy to have it back. Here's a few pictures and the last one I'm sure everyone is waiting for

If anyone can't see the video head over to my Instagram @swedensky
Hoping to also get a few GoPro videos today if time allows!

Not into burnouts and wasted tires but that thing just sounds absolutely awesome!!
I hope you get a chance to take it out to Thunderhill or somewhere to exercise those tires for lateral G's and heavy braking

Attention span of a gnat.

Funny you left out the rest of what I said. Yes, I don't get doing donuts or roasting away a nice set of tires to go absolutely nowhere...has always baffled me.

Never heard of road racing? Thunderhill? Big brakes? Sticky tires? Hoosiers...really??? Guess you're really not into mustangs and cars...maybe you should get out of the hobby?

^ lol I've cut more 1.6/1.5 60ft' launches than you have made laps around a road course I know all about hook and stop in a mustang, you don't need a race track like thunder hill or big brakes to know how to have fun in this hobby lol..I'm not some young clown who does endless donuts in an intersection for Instagram status,but sliding around and smoking off some tires from time to time is what it's all about,along with drag racing,track events,cruises,meet ups,long hours in the garage,good times with friends and family,I can go on and on but ya ill considering getting out the hobby cause I don't road race and think a burnout is fun..enjoy your fresh tread just remember the slow lanes on the right 👍🏻
