How laggy does it seem on the street? That dyno, even on higher boost now, is not bringing power in until 4500+. Does it pull from a roll or take a minute? How is it between gears?
Again, congrats. Are you in FL too?

If you look closely and the dyno chart the car is still making 500 ft/lbs of torque at 3750. It may seem laggy but that is only because of how hard the car is pulling once in full boost. If you look at the SAE Technical Paper for the 05 Ford GT you will notice the RPM drop from 1st the 2nd goes from 6500 to 4200. So the drop in RPM is actually helpful is reducing 2nd gear wheel spin. This is not just an educated guess. After the 1012 RWHP dyno pull the car was taken out for some film footage (with the same tune). 1st gear will (of course) blow the tires away, 2nd however holds remarkably well. You can feel the back of the car move slightly but still stable and you sense the steering becoming very light. I am trying to get some video footage of the 2nd gear pull on the street just so you all can see just how hard the car is accelarating. Gear spacing on the GT transmission is excellent, once in 2nd you will not feel any lose of power unless you decide to lift. Which I can understand because this car WILL give you that uneasy feeling in your stomach.
Thanks for your interest with this project.
