And not one bit of that answered my question as to whether or not you think the header is worth it.

 

Then by deductive reasoning, you should be able to deduce that I would not make it my number one priority.

I do not think $1400 for a Mugen header is smart money. Although sexy, I could never justify paying the new price for a Mugen CF hardtop over the oem one. $700 for a few horses below the high-rev range is worth it to me if you're a) shackled to a dyno and hinge your very existence on the numbers produced from said contraption or b) are a competitve racer who needs every last drop of testosterone out of his sportscar.

We all fall victim to "numbers." Truth be told, tuning for the dyno and tuning for a road course or daily driving are two different things.


In the end, my purchases will be based on whether or not the car contunies to evolve or goes back to stock.

 

Chad - this is what 15 minutes in Illustrator can do. With more time I could do a much better job, but it gives you an idea of where Photoshop leaves off and where Illustrator picks up.



Saving these things to .jpegs messes up the resolution a ton :yuck:

 

stock my car was dynoed at 181 on a dynapack i believe and today we made 309 on one of the runs but did not really get around to tunning since the tunner was scared to blow my motor. I have ordered 550 injectors and they should be here on friday at which point I will have it dynoed again and will be shooting for 325. The computer said it was running at 6.5 lbs.

 

he hasnt ran it at the track, but he ran a 11.87 on a mustang dyno

 

181 on a Dynopak w/ on '04 is awfully low... even on a hot, humid day. Dynopaks generally yield higher numbers. Chad pulled 319 on a DP untuned and it was pouring outside. He has an '00.

 

That looks really good

 

Have you changed plugs yet?

 

Ahh. So that would be a pretty good run for you then. I saw you post up in that thread, but noticed that you were sort of overlooked.

 

Not yet, i should probably go ahead and take care of that. I think i've put just over 2k miles since the new plugs.
