    I really admire the work you put in all the videos. I check for your new videos almost daily and always wonder what takes you so long. Everytime I see the new video I'm like "okay, this was worth waiting". The work you have to put in repairing the car and in addition to that, the work you have to put in moving and placing the camera so every bolt you touch is visible for the viewer and finally editing the video the way you do it (every transition, every splitscreen, all the bolts to mark and these things you do with graphs) must take hours and hours. I really appreciate it and hope that you'll keep doing such a great videos. Even though I don't even have a car, I always enjoy your videos, so one day I buy myself a car, i can do it at home just because of you. Thank you!

    Tons of work went into the production of this video so I hope you guys enjoy it. I try to make it so even though most of you guys dont have a Mustang, you can still learn with all the tips and tricks and methodology I share with you in the videos. Plus who doesnt like to see the DriftStang make more HP and TQ!!! I have a lot of videos in the works I just cannot pump them out fast enough so stay tuneeeeedddd!!!!

    The fact that you didn't install the throttle body is actually insane. You're true to the viewers and do a lot for us rather than yourself. Yeah, it's not a crazy attachment / extra work to do it later but you're willing to do more work to help us learn.

    This is awesome! Crazy how much power it added on the top end for simply changing intake manifolds! It's also wild how different the engines in our cars are. At 6,000 RPM your Mustang has said enough, and from 1000-6000 RPM my S2000 is as slow as a Corolla. Awesome that there's such diversity out there in engine design!

About after a year, the heater hose nipple cracked off on my intake manifold. Besides all of the retro-fitting (because my car has the PI heads already) I followed it step by step and got it done--saved SO much money! Excited to get back on the road. Thanks Chris!

    Awesome video! One thing you forgot to mention though is when bleeding the coolant system, turn the heater on max. This helps ensure all air leaves the heater core, plus as the air gets hotter it gives a physical indication that things are going well.
    The Dyno results are sick!! The power gains in the upper RPM range are crazy awesome!!

      Well you're adding a supercharger so doing the pi heads would be pretty pricey. The swap increases compression. Putting boost to that would mean forged internals, upgraded fuel system, and tuned for higher octane than even 93. Or e85 will do well with high compression and boost.
