I have one sitting here, I planned on changing it out once we got things dialed in.

WOW! She sounds good!!!!! That's gonna turn some heads of people who have no clue what they're hearing. I love how it sounds like some Euro or Japanese performance car. Freaking awesome!!!!!!!

Imo it sounds much better in person than those videos represent, there's a few things the camera isn't picking up. When the car is idling around or going slow the sound is deep, almost like a small displacement v8. I'm very happy with that.
You don't really hear it on camera but the turbos are loud compared to my truck. When shifting gears or letting off the gas the BOV are very noticeable too despite being dumped in to the air intake piping. I had considered venting them to atmosphere but they are loud enough for me now.
Soon we can take a WOT fly-by video!

Good to see it up and running, I think it sounds spot on with a nice rumble. The sound does change dramatically at WOT, which I cant wait to hear by the way. Your car looks and sounds awesome, I dig the 3.5 badging as well. I have to commend you on your patience with this build. I know it's a labor of love but I don't think I could have made it through the first week. Good job!! looking forward to seeing it run hard.

Thanks man!
If I had to do this alone the story would be quite different and I wouldn't be driving the car by now. It's really been a group effort between me, Lexiion, and Matt at hptuners. I'm extremely proud of what we have accomplished so far, we have created a one-of-a-kind mustang....at least for now
. In a sea of mustangs, literally millions of cars, we were able to create something unique.

Lexiion, I do wiring to help guys install 3.5L Ecoboost and 5.0L Coyotes with 6R80 autos into street rods and classic trucks, I am totally impressed with what you have done here to integrate the F150 engine controls into the 2010 Mustang. I know just how not easy that must have been, you are THE man!
Matt, I know a ton of guys are so so grateful that you have unlocked the PATS on these 2011-2014 Ford PCMs. I have used HP tuning software on GM systems in the past and now I am really looking forward to doing so with these Ford motors.
Can't wait to see more pics and videos, as well as maybe some dyno numbers and time slips!!!

And I agree with everyone here. The car sounds great!!! Might just have to get a pair of those axle backs and adapt them for use on my 2015 3.7 V6. Likely will not sound nearly as good but still will be worth it especially for the quad tips.

An amazing effort by all of you, congrats again! I am certain others will now follow in your footsteps, so many thanks for sharing all the info!

I'll answer your PM shortly, we can talk. I have to admit though I'm not your guy for wiring/programming, that was almost completely Lexiion.

I got an interesting email from Geoff at full-race today. With their Ford GT bolt-on turbos he had some impressive results on an already modded f150 ecoboost. Guess I know which turbos I'm getting
http://www.full-race.com/store/image...content-13.jpg
stock turbos and full boltons + tune (375whp dotted line)
VS
adding our bolton turbos at 18.7psi (475whp solid line)
