I'm buying a Hellman MBC, from what I found there is a mustang dyno in the across town, only thing is that the tune is an e mail tune so it's gonna be road numbers, I'm leaning towards the map ef3 though

I would get new couplers for the UICP and get one of the above mentioned LICP'S
For the price, you cannot go wrong with either of those LICPs. I had the Injen UICP and LICP on my last EVO and they always broke off from the throttle body and intercooler. I now have the BR UICP and MAP LICP.

Hallman is exactly what i use on my EF3 it works very well. It will be a road tune then just like the graph i posted above.
Mellon really knows his stuff and will be able to maximize your setup! And theres nothing wrong with the road dyno when you use it properly, it gives real world numbers that your making at the time, Just make sure you weigh your car and find a nice smooth and SAFE road.

I totally agree as we do not need a window in the block.

Keep an eye on your injectors, I know Mellon will be watching them and at 400 you should be fine with the 720s but if you start to push it you will certainly be pushing them to their max. I used an 850 FIC to make my number i posted and they were pretty much maxed out.

Keep us posted on what you end up with, and like i said be sure to call the guys at map Dan will probably be a little easier to get ahold of but if you can reach Chris hes king of the castle.

Forgot to ask do you have a baseline dyno graph for what your car is currently making?
