2022 Mach 1 Hellion Street Sleeper Install

[gorditas]

I finished my @HELLION TURBO build this weekend. I sent idle logs over the weekend to Palm Beach Dyno, and went to a local dyno today for remote tuning. I'm very happy with how things turned out. I made a video that should cover a lot of ground.

holy moses thats some power bump! Smooth to 7k+rpm and sounds amazing doing it. You must be very happy with the results. Cool mobile dyno, love the fact you actually got it dyno tuned and not a caned tune

Fire!

So impressive, what a clean installation. Can't beat that flat torque curve, are you going to upgrade your clutch? Is power delivery manageable during shifts? Total budget?

Thank you very much. I am very happy with how it turned out.

I'll upgrade the clutch when I need to. Since I'm not applying max power in the lower gears, I think my clutch and tires will last a lot longer than if I was applying all the power from a standing start. I just took my kids for their first ride: It was only 40 degrees on PS4's. I only spun when I did it on purpose to see how the car reacted to careless power application in 1st gear, and even then, it was easy to keep accelerating. When it is warmer outside, I honestly think it will hook up pretty well on good roads, as long as I stay on low boost in 1st.

I bought the kit on Black Friday for $8,900. The tune was about $975. With the dyno rental (technically optional) and incidentals, I'd say I was all in for 11k.

Thanks for the additional information. It's so tempting.....

My kid's faces on their first low boost pull say it all.

That's one of the most enjoyable parts of an 800hp mustang. My 5 year old daughter begs me to go fast when mama isn't with us. Then she tries to describe her face to me. "Daddy it's a scared face but good scared!"

I've seen this car in person, just amazing the quality of the build and the car itself ....

With just a little trimming, the aero/splash shield is back in place:

no intake flow issues with the shield in place?

I can't imagine that being an issue. It isn't sealed on the sides and back, and you have all of the airflow from the grille of the car providing a huge area for fresh air.

what boost controller uses the two buttons?

I'm using the Eboost 2. The buttons are my own solution to logic built into the controller.
