I did enjoy spending 12 hours of my life (from 7pm to 7am) with Adam and Pete at KTA trying to help wherever possible and seeing adams eyes turn to balls of fire, hell, and brimstone. I'd never seen someone so angry. The ATP kit fitment was questionable for being a "stealth bolt on" but I am pretty happy w/ the appearance (you can't tell its there unless you quest for the tial ewg) and the performance. It is setup a bit different than most 30r's as the kit is designed to come on hard a bit later than typically. A fully built valvetrain is recommended when running the kit so you can redline to 8500-9000rpm depending on what your flavor is. Power comes on hard at about 3.5-4k, tabletops at 5k, and runs all the way to wherever you want it to. Honestly I'm suprised the ltitle 2.0L spools the turbocharger as well as it does. The car feels totoally different. Boost comes on smooth and hard. No more jerky off/on throttle w/ the spool happy td05h16g. SUPER satisfied with everything for the money aside from teh fitment issues. Another phenominal build from KTA. I may have adam fabricate an intake pipe to replace the stock one in the future to eleviate the cluster fuck around my tranny. Adam Hennessy fabrication FTMFW. I <3 him. In a non-gay (but somewhat erotically homosexual) way. LOL!

1stGen-where have you EVER seen a Mustang read high? ANYONE who uses the dyno for TUNING keeps the stock calibration from Mustang in order for the eddy current load to properly work and emulate rolling resistance from teh road. Which dynos such as dynojet, do not. They spin freely and post HUGE numbers. Yes, Mustang and Dyno Dynamics can be calibrated to read like a dynojet. No, I would never goto a shop that calibrates their dyno to read in such a way. Buschur Racing, DTM Motorsports, Moon Performance are just a few to name who all use the OEM Mustang Calibration which is a FANTASTIC tool for tuning. How much do you want to bet my "411whp" will outperform ANY Evo that makes 411 on a Dynojet? It's a bet I'd gladly take any day. We can start a dyno debate if you'd like, but its common knowledge in teh tuning world that any eddy current load bearing dyno reads WELL below a dynojet given the operator of the dyno isn't a lunatic and jacking the numbers.
