Okay, me & Sally played a little on the way home tonight (actually we played a lot).

Here are my results:
14.63 @ 94.2, 2.20 60’, 6.12 0 to 60
14.73 @ 93.9
14.75 @ 94.1
14.75 @ 93.6
14.78 @ 94.1

best 60’ 2.17
best 0 to 60 6.12 (6.13,6.18,6.25,6.27)

Also had a 14.53 @ 96.7 run (2.25 60’ & 6.05 0 to 60) but that run involved starting the run uphill slightly & then cresting a hump & going downhill, so I don’t think that run is very accurate. I know changes in incline can affect the G-Timer so that’s why I won’t count this run.

Overall I’ve picked up 6/10 of a second over stock & about ¾ of a second 0 to 60. It seems the 60’ times are not getting any better. It still doesn’t launch as hard as I want but I think 4.10 gears is the only fix for that.
I plan on experimenting with the Xcalibrator tune a little. It seems odd that it’s that much faster to 60 but not quite as much faster in the quarter. Maybe the A/F mixture needs to be a little richer? When I bought the tune I didn’t have CAI or headers so it probably is not optimized for them. I wonder if a dyno-tune would make much difference?
I can't wait to hear what anybody that gets some gears thinks about them. I think they will be a lot of fun!

Cool beans. Like I said, I plan on doing all the mods you've done. Thanks for letting us know how it's working for you.

No, my car is not show quality. And I don't want to go offering something I don't have in hand yet.

Once I start working this upcomming project (work project) you will all have a chance to see me at Motorcycle shows more than car shows. However when I get my Mustang products out, I will ask for people in different areas (who buy my products) to go to shows for me (paid and displaying products).

So we'll see what happens in June!

I have a manual V6 in stock form.
Future mods probably include 17x8 wheels & 255/50 tires, JBA headers, & t-lok differential.

Darren that's an awesome 6 you have. Did you run through any problems when installing the GT grille, and is it fully functional?
I'm dying to hear your car as well, looks like everything I would want in terms of exhaust for the V6.

All I need are fogs to cover the immense gap, and I'm happy. This 05 has one fat grille, not narrow like the classics which looked great without center lights.
