Sold the HKS, going with a custom GTM TT setup. Going for 500+whp on low boost and around 600whp on high.....

Holy.....
How long will it take to get used to the power? I was scared when I first got my Mustang and it's only 300. 500-600?!?!?
Starting in second, shifting to fourth, trying to keep out of boost. Horrifying, I would think. Can't wait to see it! You'll be losing traction through fourth, I would think.
I'm getting goosebumps.

Well with the HKS SC I was pushing 400whp and I didnt think it was enough. If traction is a huge issue at lower boost then I will just start saving for a widebody LOL

I rolled the fenders to get that to fit, cant go any wider without a widebody kit.
No dyno for the new setup...soon though.
