I'm going to be there soon, tunning on the Hydra myself....hope they don't saturate my numbers....
I really think the heat was killing you bro and i also think kenny was playing it safe too and running it rich(i only saw one fire ball but i didnt get it on vid). as soon as i got in my car to go home i checked the temp and it was 99f out side so im sure it was well over a 100 in that shop. I didnt really like the way they had that fan positoned to cool your car.
Ps if you dont mind ill put up some picks and vid tommarow when i get a chance, i just got home

I only made 252 at 5psi. But when my tune was good, I was NEVER in the 10s. 11.5 was the lowest AFRs i got.

yeah, might need to get a second opinion.. But I'll see too what travis gets with his hydra.. Also he leaned out my cruise afrs between 60-80 mph to get better mileage, he said its very safe since at cruise there is no load so he put it at 17s + afr, i asked if it was bad then he said no and he is even selling that kind of tune to ford, not sure bout that area though so i need opinion on that too..

Anyweiz im sure the tuner knows what he's doing, he also have hydra on 2 of his tcs.. but i just got tuned today so im not gonna say bad about the tune for now.. its just the lowest i've seen so far for the setup i have or the most basic turbo kit out there
Everyone and you need to remember you have a 2.5 inch DP and S-Pipe. Also on a mustang dyno. ANNNND your car is rich i'm sure if you had a 3inch DP and S-pipe and AFRs like others you would put down 300whp atleast. Kenny may have done shady shyt before but he hasn't blown up any TC's to my knowledge... So if car runs good then do yourself a favor take it to the track and run that stuff Those numbers are the numbers that count. Nice work Ace. Hope you get all the bugs worked out if there are any.
Hey Ace, at least your car is still running unlike mine. LOL But yea, those numbers did seem a bit low.
I'm gettin my car back finally this week and taking it to PTuning to get tuned monday. I cant wait. 2 months without my car has sucked.

Yeah, Brian's tC is there. It's tuned on the hydra. It's the white one with 500+whp.
