Installed a retrax pro mx, looks like a solid product and is performing to expectations so far but it takes more like 1 1/2 -2 hours to install it properly if you have never set one up before, then there were some locking adjustments that needed to be done so it would lock on both sides effectively. Nice easy open close from one side with no strap in middle. I went from a snug top hard shell that was 100% waterproof so I am hoping it's at least 99% water proof but that remains to be seen. Paid $1550 shipped no tax

60% injector duty cycle was maxing the stock pump out, even with the vorect boost a pump. 18.5 degrees of timing, on e85....

670 rwhp and 500ft-lbs at the tires on a Mustang Dyno. 15% drivetrain loss, and we're still looking at 770 at the crank, on a bone stock motor and trans. The tuner didn't have a great understanding of the ti-vct system.

New pump is coming, and we're having AED from Cali send us a 90% done e85 tune. D&G will finish it up

That is pretty awesome. I hope the transfer can handle that much power

yessir. Dewayne is a super awesome guy. Really knowledgeable but i'm not sure he was 100% on the Ti-VCT. But it would take a mad genius to get a really solid grasp on it. There is literally thousands of timing tables for that motor. I'll most definitely send anyone who asks for a good tuner up to him. He mostly does LSx and older mod motor stuff.

Went from this







To this






The lower was a PITA and glad I tackled it first. The ball joint remover/install kit wasn't capable of installing the new ball joint because the C was not wide enought. Need two of the same spacers in the kit to accomplish the task. So I rented a second on top of the one I borrowed from a friend.
