Got the car retuned today after some more mods
Gotta make a new sig at some point 
but long story short, someone broke into my car and stole my XM Radio and my VAFC. Insurance paid for everything and I got an APEXi NEO and decided to have the SSIM and 350z injectors put in. I also had a 3" exhaust done (all straight pipe with electric cutout to a borla muffler [freebie])
Mods are...
SRI
SSIM
350z Injectors
3" exhaust
OBX Headers and Y-Pipe
VIAS BOP
Timing Advance
NWP Spacers
Tuned APEXi NEO
Last time I went, I didn't have the 3" exhaust, SSIM, or injectors. I also had the old VAFC. I went from 243/237 tuned to 255/239 on the base with no tune. After the tune, I went to 260/241. I don't feel that 3 pulls and 45 mins on the dyno is really tuning and not worth the $275 (don't care, insurance paid for it but still). Opened the cutout and it had almost idential numbers, 261hp instead of 260hp. Seems like a waste of money, but it does sound pretty cool haha
Anyone know where I can find a better place to tune it? If so, please post that in this thread I created...

Overall, I am kinda disappointed in the lack of effort that went into the tune and I think there is more power that can come out of this motor, what do you guys think? I guess the numbers are good, I am just personally disappointed.

Never took pictures, to be honest lol No tips on it at the moment, need to do that soon cause when it throws flames, it starts burning off parts of the bumper underneath!
It was, but I decided to keep it. I realized that I enjoy driving a quick car that is reliable that is different than everything else. Sure, I hear the family car jokes all day long, but it's unique and I'll have it for a while!

Mustang dynos tend to read lower than Dynojets which are usually the standard for dynoing on the .Org.
You'll gain more power by switching to a TS F-spec ECU, since the stock cam timing maps are holding back the ability to take advantage of your SSIM.
