We'll be sure to post more info once it's dialed in. We do plan to take it to the track for some 1/4 mile times. 0-60 can probably be done with a gtech.

Here's a shot with a fellow fxer yesterday.

When you said your motor blew with the stillen set up out of ignorance and neglect, what exactly do you mean?

I was running Nismo headers, which may have contributed to a lean condition on the top. Never had it dyno'd, never even thought about having an A/F gauge since the Stillen system was always considered "safe".

The Stillen system is cool for what it is. 50-75whp with a very nice tq curve, trying to squeeze every last pony out is not worth it and can be dangerous. Stage 4 having a new fuel map is safer than stage 3 using the Stage 1-2 map.

That is HOT!
VRT seems to be a great shop. Did they come to your house and pull your engine?

The came to my house with the trailer to tow it down to SD since my motor was blown. Saved me 100+ mile tow down to SD from OC. VRT has been very cool to work with, very open to my questions and follow up has been very good.

I did the motor, JWT kit, Stillen exhaust, 15" 8 piston front 14" 4 piston rear Rotoras. They installed all my transmission stuff, and did the guages.

If it can be done they are willing to work with you on it. That's priceless for an enthusiast with a vehicle with limited options like the FX.

Adding Gtech run. Hopefully an actual time slip in the next few months. Used a GTech Pro RR, not sure how the G community feels about Gtechs.

4.6 0-60 and 13.1 at 106 1/4 mile!!! holy crap!!! i didn't realize Gtech Pro RR was able to generate these charts. looks awesome. this will definitely give a lot of cars (not just SUVs) the run for their money!
