Hi. Is this about the number these cars put down from new ?
I was told that your don,t get full power for 50 cold starts , and or , 1000 miles on the clock , is this correct ?
If so , i guess theres still more to come . What are the commom mods for the 2010,s ?

congrats on the new car. Why don't you break the motor/clutch in first with some street miles before you go on the dyno though???
I asked the same thing , i guess other than getting some Hard #,s , they just reprogram the fuel curves and add some more timming. Its going to Joe Dasilva , famous ( here in Canada anyways ) pro 5.0 racer . Not sure what else is available for the 2010,s to boost power . I intend to drive it for the remainder of this year then , during the Long Winters here , start planning Mods for next spring. Exhaust for sure as stock is too quiet .

That is not correct. It's 50 engine start/warmup cycles or 5 consecutive miles of vehicle operation. Until then, the boost pressure is limited and the rpm's are limited to 4000.

My dyno numbers where with 500 Miles. and completely stock.

I will have the Evo stage Zero kit installed some time next week.

Then it goes back to see what the new numbers look like.

I just can,t believe the difference in the Whole car compared to my 97 Cobra . Don,t get me wrong , the 97 is pretty fast but , over the years , it did cost a few $$ to get it there . Everything is so different in 2010 .
