Nice build! With regarding to the KCLV, the more runs you do on the dyno, the hp should be higher run after run until eventually you get heat soaked, but that wasn't my case though, I made the most HP on the first run...lol.
You are not far from me though, I dynoed at 413.24 RWHP 380.24 RWTQ @ STD 5 on dynojet, with almost the same setup, I have a LEMS intake pipe with AFE filter instead of Apexi. My stock numbers were 369 RWHP and 351 RWTQ on a mustang dyno.

First, I have to say I love your car. I would probably go a little further with mine if it wasn't my daily. Curiosity question for you regarding your dyno results. When you did the 413 did you have CCBs and aftermarket wheels? If so, do you think the aftermarket wheels were any lighter than stock? Just thinking that possibly those two things could have a slight impact on #s due to less rotating mass.

Question time!!!!
- Did you weigh the new wheels yet before you mounted the tires?
- Did you put the new wheels on the car yet?
- Did you ever get and install the 2-piece rotors?

Got the wheels mounted up and installed on Friday. I’m beyond happy. I know looks can be subjective so, I will just say these look fantastic TO ME. Again, many props to FIGS (Mike Figaro). Not only is the look, color and machining great but they are also very light. 19x10 fronts are 21.20 lbs and 19x11 rears are 22.65 lbs.

The tire sizing ended up being spot on as well. I was worried that the 285s on an 11 would look stretched but the beefy PSSs swallowed it all. No rub and I’m lowered on Swift springs. Here are a few shots of the car. I plan on doing a proper photo shoot but there are a couple “special” things I’m waiting on. Also, I may end up letting FIGS talk me into 2-piece rotors and Ohlins (sshhh! Don’t tell the wife).

My one light disappointment is the valve stems. Our TPMS sensor stems are huge. They stick out like a sore thumb. Trying to explore some alternatives.

I know you’ve probably seen this on other cars but, while the car was up in the air getting wheels installed I snapped a few pics of the Meisterschaft installed in all its yumminess. This really is a nice piece. My installer also took the time to install braided heat shielding over the wiring. Oh, and did I tell you I got the homelink to learn the remote signal for the valves. I probably did but, it doesn’t hurt to say it again!

Car looks great with the new wheels and exhaust! Congrats! Did you get the weight of the new fronts and rears w/ the tires mounted?
Give you props to sticking with the oval tips...looks better than round and keeps it more like stock.
Hoping I get lucky as well with my new front tires and don't rub.
Ever thought about blacking out the one area between the rear spoiler and the rear windshield? Pretty sure I am going to black out my roof and that section on mine once I get my CF long tail rear spoiler...just flows better.

Very simple as long as you have used only 1 of the 3 available home link buttons as you will want/need the two remaining buttons for open and close functions.
1. Press and release 1 of the unused homelink buttons on the mirror. An orange indicator light should flash on the mirror.
2. Press and hold the Open button on the valve remote while holding pointed at the mirror about an inch or two away from the mirror. Release the Open button when the indicator light turns solid green.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 on the remaining unused homelink button and the Close button on the valve remote.
4. Test homelink buttons. Remember to have ignition "switched" to whatever mode the valves are wired to while testing. I.E., if there is only power going to the valve controller when the engine is "on" then make sure car is on.

Hadn't thought about blacking out those areas but I like the way the silver frames/contrasts with the CF. I think if I black that out it may just all look black instead of CF. That is one of the reasons I didn't just go with doing the hood vent surround in black and having it done in CF. Soon, very soon...
