674hp/545tq
my baseline numbers from last year are included on the dyno sheet which was a pull with JLT intake and SCT tune. I gained almost 300 hp since my last dyno!
I've put about 1500 miles on the car since I installed the kit. Earlier this week, I took a road trip, about 1200 miles round trip, which saw A LOT of DC traffic. I can't say enough good things about the Paxton kit and Lund tune so far. Cruising around the car is incredibly smooth. Zero drivability issues. My gas mileage has decreased a little bit, but I still averaged 25mpg on the highway trip.
Installation was very simple. If you're like me and are worried about any trimming needed with this kit, it's very minimal, and incredibly easy, nothing to scare you off. I'd say it's a 3/10 for difficulty on the install. The most time consuming part is cutting and fitting the coolant and vacuum hoses. The instructions are pretty good, I didn't really need them for the most part. Only thing you'll need to pick up is a tool to tighten the stepless clamps. I bought one at Lowes for $10.
Performance wise, the power builds rapidly as the rpm's climb. I'm glad I kept the 3.31's! my car still has the stock clutch, 24k miles on it, and it's hurting. Anytime I make a pull, the clutch pedal starts to feel very spongy and takes a few shifts to get it to feel normal again. I would plan on doing a clutch upgrade. Luckily, Lethal Performance had that sale and I was able to snag up an RXT w/ flywheel. I'm probably going to get that in next week.
I went back and fourth for months with what I wanted to get between Procharger, Paxton or a PD blower. I'm 100% satisfied with my choice. I'm pretty sure I would've said that if I would've ordered any of the other kits, but for anyone who's considering a Paxton(Beefcake Special), I highly recommend it. :cheers:
