Smoke out the exhaust

Never realized it before, but 6k to add 50hp???  Holy shiat that seems like alot of coin for that.

All those mods gave him 400hp at the wheels. Our engine is 365hp at the crank and probably 320 something at wheels.
No, I understand.  I'm over 350 at the wheels now with current mods.  I was saying it would cost another 6k to add another 50hp by way of meth/upgraded turbos.  That seems like alot to maybe gain 1/2 second.

I don't know if I believe our car is at 350hp with the mods we have; you and I are nearly identical.

Most stock dyno pulls / sheets that I've seen, including my own, have shown a range of 277-281whp. No mods whatsoever.

Yeah; 277-280whp to 400whp; well worth the coin in my opinion.

Step it up big hitter!  Stroke the check...

Need another 11k on the odo before I do it.

Rate I'm going, it'll be probably sometime around Feb or March.

From what my dyno sheets show, the turbo upgrade does not add any peak HP to the curve from those who have the stock wheels.

They may increase the HP in the whole RPM range.....??

Sorry dude, I have some questions? When did you have it dyno'd? While smoke was pouring out of the rear? They dyno'd your car with an obvious problem? Where did you buy the turbo's? Who did the install? I realize you said you asked Livernois to help you out, but did they do any of the work? Your car wasnt even inspected yet, but you had all this work done? did it pass inspection?

Sorry to sound like an azz, and i will be the first one to apologize, but something doesn't add up. If you really had a problem at Livernois, it would be the first time I have heard of it. Not that they are perfect, just have never heard of it. If you are legit, again, sorry about your problems.
 
Why not bypass Andy and go straight to Dan. He owns the company and is a real good guy. I'm sure if you talk to him he will do everything he can to get your situation straightened out.

We lost a genuine person when Rick left as he helped me multiple times with issues on my mustang.

Curious for an update as well.  Can't help but wonder if his car was the guinea pig for tuning the 13's.  I'm honestly not feeling the most comfortable with mine until I get a knock gauge installed.
 
Dan called me yesterday!

Livernois is going to pick the car up and figure out the issue with the turbos!

Very thankful that they are stepping up!

I've been running their 13 tune for thousands of miles now. if the tune was bad, i think mine would have popped by now.

zero issues.

Dan bought a 13 that was the guinea pig. They haven't had a single tuning issue..I'd say you were safe

Great to hear that Mike!  I had some concerns about my tune and they are going all out for me as well.

You weren't there when they were tweaking mine.  I honestly don't believe they have 13's dialed in like previous years.

Your absolutely right dark, 2013's are not dialed like the previous years. Ford made changes to the ECM and encrypted everything.
So the learning curve had to start all over again.
Honesty it took Dan quite awhile to get the previous SHO's to the power levels that Darrell and 1stsho have.
