[QUOTE]OK - my car is done. 100% final setup with the AMD Base Kit install.
Base kit = baby kit = Stage .9 = Low Pressure Kit (I’ll leave it to Jason to confirm actual/final name). It is the first of 3 stages that will eventually all be available. The next two are in development, and sorry for the tease, but - - there is plenty more ‘go’ coming. I witnessed it myself today!
What did I pay for the kit and what comes with it?
All hardware and software, installed at AMD for $10,750. I believe if you install elsewhere, you’d need to add install (12-14 hours?). Kit uses the TVS1900 blower, runs a 115mm pulley, and boost is around 9-10 psi. Note: this base kit does NOT upgrade any fuel pumps, and does NOT add any additional cooling / radiators over stock. The next stages from AMD include both upgraded fuel pumps and cooling.
What’s included with software aside from more go? Launch control and flat shift. 
Why did I chose AMD? For me, I evaluated the following criteria 1) Value ($/whp gained), 2) Ease of entry (financial), 3) Future upgrade potential without ripping everything out, and 4) Local tuner.
For me here in the US, it was really between the APR kit and this one, and AMD won out because of my criteria. The $/whp gained comparison, goes as follows: at the time I looked, and still today, APR kit is advertised at $15k. I’ve heard you can get install included, but it doesn’t say so anywhere. Still - giving the benefit of the doubt, let’s say it’s included. Looking at the site and dyno chart here, you look to gain 126whp over stock with their kit on 93 octane (we get 92 in Seattle). That’s $15k/126 = $119/whp gain. From day 1 of talking with AMD, it was clear the base kit would get around 100-120whp. I knew this going in. So, let’s be conservative again and say 100. $10,750/100 = $107.50/whp gain. Criteria 2-4 were also all in favor of AMD, and in the end probably a bit more important to me than this first one. (Note: actual $/whp gained turns out to be $94/whp for the base kit). Please also note: I give full props to APR. Seems like they have a great product with proven results. It just didn’t fit my criteria as well as AMD’s offering. Peace.

Dyno details: chart is from AMD dyno (Mustang), all corrected numbers. You see 3 runs which reflects the history of my car: stock, then with DP’s and software, then the S/C results. I still run my stock catback, btw, so likely leaving a little bit on the table. I took it to a local shop that uses a Dynojet also to see differences. This was before we were done with the tune. At the time, we were hitting ~385whp on the Mustang (corrected) vs the 414 we ended up with. At the Dynojet, it read ~410whp corrected at the time. So - a delta of 25whp. At any rate - - for those who want to gauge the neighborhood of power the products are in - - you can probably add 25whp to the results I got on the Mustang, to equate to Dynojet results? 414+25 = 439. As my stock corrected read 282, and APR’s results show the more commonly referenced 312 (30whp difference), that kind of makes sense to me. Whatever…not sure it’s worth doing that comparison, better to focus on whp gained, IMO.
The 414 represented above was one of 4 runs. Others were 408, 416, 417.
Where’s the 1/4 mile result??? Sorry, haven’t been there. I’d like to see how it does, and I’m sure will get the chance in the coming months. I know many are dying to see those numbers. You get 2 chances a month here basically to hit the strip, and my schedule is not cooperating.
What’s it like to drive? Instant power, that never goes away until you shift. It’s a completely different car. On top of that, drivability is perfect. You can be smooth and quiet and put around town if you’re so inclined or just hammer it and get instant response. Super happy with my results
Anyway - there you have it. I think I’ve included everything 
I’m happy to answer any questions if you have them.
Cheers,
