Just ordered an ESS Mustang S550 GT G2 Tuner Kit. 4450$ shipped to my house after veteran discount, it's nice they offer that saved me 250$. Will post install pics later.

Sounds like a good way to get budget boost. HP will be limited, but who can complain at that price.

I have a base model 18 GT with an edelbrock stage 2 on e85 and I make about 801whp through cats and stock exhaust at 6950 RPMs. Im very happy with the power level, after I added a fuel system for e85 and got a real tune the bottom end torque is crazy, even at 20 to 40 percent throttle. If you do go that route make sure you upgrade the frictions and steels in your transmission as mine have not faired to well and I'm looking for a shop to replace them.

Besides the fuel system (lethal fuel system for edelbrock systems), tires (255r18 firehawk indy 500s) , and the supercharger kit it is 100 percent stock. I figure its a good way to avoid unwanted attention. I'd reccomend going this route, but maybe I'm biased.

How on earth do you keep from roasting those street tires at WOT at any speed under 80?

They seem to be fine at 60 mph, as long as the road is good and they're warm. Obviously they spin at WOT below probably 55, I think the 3.15 gears make a big difference. If I was in my lowest possible gear at 60 mph and just stomped it, the tires would break a little but I'm usually a gear or two up or just roll into the throttle.

Hey everyone!
I have an 18 GT with a 10Speed
I would like to boost my car.
Sentrifical is not an option for me because I like low end torque.
What would be best
VMP
Edelbrock
Or Whipple...

thanx in advance
Alex
It really comes down to your goals with the car; you can't go wrong with any power adder on the Coyote's. PD's are going to be great low end with snappier throttle response. With the A10 the Centri's are a great setup since you're always shifting into the peak boost curve.

Hit me up and we can get you dialed in for sure!

Feel Free to DM me or call with any questions.
