Yes, the car was put on the dyno back in May and the low power is what started all this. The tune is fine and now all the parts on the car are fine....I would like to take it to the local dyno to make a pull so I can compare once we do the cam swap. The car feels like it makes good power now but in my personal opinion its a bad combo for a street engine unless you like to ring it out to 7000K all the time. While I do enjoy the higher RPM's I do much more cruising that requires 2000-4000K. I have always had forced induction on cars and motorcycles and I guess I'm just not cut out for N/A power bands. I would prefer to keep a N/A setup in the car but I know I can't get what I want out of it....I sure wish someone made a Whipple, or TVS blower for a Windsor! Way down the road I can see a supercharged coyote platform. I would be willing to trade the Windsor idle sound for more power, better driving characteristics and better MPG. I am in no hurry I'm going to get the cam changed and a few small details and enjoy being a cobra owner. I've only owned the car for 10 months so I'm very fortunate to have Pman in my corner and at the point where I have a beautiful well sorted car I can enjoy. It is a great feeling to jump in the car and it fire right up for a 70 mile spin.
