    So after much anticipation and waiting, I've finally received all my parts desired and ready to have the car tuned in a week and a half. Really excited to feel the performance as I've heard its night and day difference. Will keep everyone posted on installs and Tune progress. Thanks for checking out the thread! On with the pics. Finally got everything in!

    Intercooler looks insane, wow can't wait to see that on your car in person! I'm really stoked on my ETS kit. Great quality and made in USA. Good group of folks up there at ETS, too. I like doing business with those guys.

    Love the quality on the AMS DP too. That top section is a work of art. The casting itself looks totally flow optimized, and i love the bosses/mounts, recessions for the fasteners, CNC'd flange and just looks burly as all hell. That whole piece makes me all kinds of jelly. Wish AMS made an o2 eliminator DP using some of that technology for the CT9As, but i understand why they don't.

    Can't agree with you more about ETS, parts look so high quality and finish, packaging was great, and customer service was top notch. Really cant wait to get em on the car. Hopefully see you out at the next meet man. Haven't seen that 8 in a while. Hope your slight issue you had with damage is getting taken care of smoothly.

    So I didn't get a chance to take many pics because of the weather, but quick summary of numbers. The car made 326 whp, and 363 tq on conservative tune. Very happy with the numbers, power delivery, SOUND! Spool and dv sound insane now. Glad I stuck with the stock dv! Also put on my jdp lip today, so great few days for the car. Will keep update and pics pics pics over the weekend

    It's an amazing transformation from stock, and surprising what the car is capable of with a little tune and parts. looking forward to it. Hopefully this weather clears up a bit.

    Cobb, although I see you were tuned by KTM , and heard lots of good things so far from them. How you like your car tuned so far? Happy with KTM I'm assuming? I'm super happy about the tune, and may try KTM for future Tune & Mods, since it never hurts to get a second opinion from another tuner. I've heard a lot of people talk crap about Cobb, but then again I've heard bad things from different tuners here and SoCal, so I guess it's a matter of opinion. They are 10 minutes from my house, work with me whenever I need something... so far, and the car seems to be running great. Although I must say I'm a little weirded out by the dyno sheet, because it made so much more Torque than power which makes me think there's more power to be had, but so far so good, and I really wanted a conservative tune since its my daily.

    don't worry about the dyno numbers, they are more guide lines really. whats important its that its technically comprehensively systematically solid.

    ill take a well smoothed map with lower numbers, over a peaky/knocky high HP map.

    I agree. And cobb has been great and sending me maps based off my protune to smooth it out. The car runs better than stock now!

    love the work KT did. I've heard bad things about Cobb also but I have no first hand experience from them so I can't base anything off that. whether true or not...I've heard at least one bad thing about all the shops around the area...with the exception of KT. nobody ever had complaints after they left there and neither do I. what annoys me is when other shops talk bad about other shops...which I have heard or seen written in forums and etc. I see torque numbers higher than hp numbers quite often. how much higher are we talking?

    ive had the same experience as far as hearing bad things go, but again Cobb has been great to me so far, and the car is running awesome. So guess there's some form of luck involved although only time will tell I suppose. 326 hp / 363 tq on mustang dyno. But I'll def keep KT on my radar for future mods. Where they located?
