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.

Brian, Are you going to the MCA show in Huntsville Alabama this weekend??

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!

Loving the V6 !! Never wanted a GT. Don't need the V8. I have one in my '67. As for mods so far.
Tri-bar Ponies on the fenders
Interior Kit from woodview
Tinted windows
Fogs.
Mods In Waiting...
Side louvers
CAI
Duel Exhaust
4.10's
I gotta stop spending $$$ on this car and finish the resto. on my '67...But I just can't !!!

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.
