Sounds like half a Ferrari....Very nice my freind. VERY nice. What did you pick up after you sold it?

[craigerzgt]

@whoohaaXL '05 Mustang GT.

@craigerzgt (...continued)I can easily start from 2nd gear at stop signs. Granted, the gears are spaced out more because it's a 6 spd, but also the torque that QR25 makes is impressive in my book. Also- I think I misunderstood the descipt. for you having the KLZE. What does the "IM" stand for after the KLZE? Any cams in the near-future?...that high rpm sounds REAL good on my end--must sound 100 percent better in real-life.

[craigerzgt]

@Chris17psi Tough to say about 1/4 mile times, best guess would be a 14.7 or somewhere around there. Low-end torque starts to build over 2000 and builds nicely at 4000. Uncertain of torque figures, but the car came with 156 lbs-ft stock, so it would be a little more with the mods. IM = Intake Manifold. As for future mods, the car has been sold for something a bit quicker :)

craigerzgt,

The only change between your Pacesetter and Hotshot videos was the headers themselves?

If so, you just made my day. The Hotshots sound more even and don't set my teeth on edge like the Pacesetters do. I know the pacesetters are supposed to offer the best gains from a performance standpoint, but the benefits are a bit higher up in the powerband. How do the Hotshots compare to the Pacesetters between 2 and 5k RPMs? Thanks for posting this.

[craigerzgt]

@SailorboyBlakeness Yep, the only change is the headers themselves.

Any perceived difference in power would largely be in your head, as the power gains to the long tubes over the Hotshots is maybe 3-5 horsepower. Your main difference is going to be sound which is likely what the choice should be judged on, unless you're wanting to go for ultimate maximum horsepower. Really, the power difference would only appear on paper, not on the butt dyno.

[craigerzgt]

@RoccooD It may be a combination of the VRIS intake system and the way the exhaust primaries are shaped, and how they lead into the 2-1 collector under the car. Listen to the Pacesetter clip I have, and that's the difference between equal-length shorties vs uneven long tubes. I'm not familiar with how Ford routed the exhaust on the Contour/Mystique/Cougar platform.

My god that engine sounds awesome!

[Chris17psi]

@craigerzgt i know EVERYONE is asking you stuff, so I'll just get in line...what kind of quarter mile times do you (or think you) run? High 14's? Mid or Low 14's? And how's the low-end torque in your opinion? I've got an '04 Spec V, and compared to ALOT of other cars in IT'S category, with most of it's torque coming on from a little after idle(around 1800rpm) it's almost like having a small V8. What are the number's for that KLZE?-I know HP is like 200, but what's the torque?

[kingofforza]

@RoccooD Because Mazda built the engine :)

[DjMarcE2004]

@RoccooD its same as mx6

[VocalistOfTruth]

The sounds is awesome...

Holy hell that car sounds sexy
