Yet more additions to MonSoonHell...
I was using my stock rims for my winter setup, however, after flaring out the fenders to fit my new rims (19x10s), the stockers weren't going to work. SOOOOOO....I got an awesome deal on rims from my shop (Real Auto Dynamics) and well, the rest is history... The details... 19x9.5 with a 38 offset have my Blizzaks on them. I am not a fan of the stretch look, but these are only on for a short period (I hope...LOL).
Here is a shot of the stretch, plus MonSoonHell in the background:

Flush with the fenders' pictures:

And prior to the winter rims/tires being installed. I finally got MonSoonHell dyno'ed. Four Pulls on a Mustang Dyno. I have the STaSIS/Revo (v.2) tune. See signature for other mods. Temperature was 58* in the shop. Every pull gave a higher number...imagine if I did 10 pulls...LOL!

Hey Monsoon,
Those are some impressive gains. I was curious how you think the clutch is handling the extra power. After having my S4 for a year, I still have to bee a bit carefull on launch because is feels like the clutch doesnt quite grab the way it should. Once I get going going it feels fine.
Thanks

Future upgrades
1) BBK
2) Clutch
3) and if I still have MonSoonHell after the warranty expires, more engine mods.

I needed new rotors as they were glazed over, so I ordered rotors from AdamsRotors.com.
I ordered a set of their RACE pattern with a black hub. I also ordered a set of USP Stainless Steel brake lines in Red.
I used Hawk's Ceramic pads. And there is a difference in pedal feel now. Not that I had a spongy pedal, but it is definitely more solid than the stock rotors w/Hawks HPS-High Performance Street disc brake pads.

Thanks for the props. And cleaning these rims are definitely a pain. I cleaned them both days at Waterfest...so I know. Back at home, I have an unlimited VIP monthly plan at my local car wash. Cleaning/drying my rims and adding tire shine takes more time than actual drying the car..LOL!
