My 2015 Mustang GT

[Rodeheaver's]

SO I ordered this Mustang in Nov and it came is the week before Christmas. It is a base model GT in race red with recaro seats and an auto tranny. Im planning on boosting it with a procharger someday. For now I am dong some styling mods, I have added Eibach sport line lowering springs, blacked out the front pony, added black 5.0 badges, blacked out the rear GT badge and wrapped the tail light panel in carbon fiber which Im not 100% sure if I like it that much. I have a set of wheels coming but they arent here yet, 20" DF5 wheels.

[u1arunit]

Sounds nice. Post pics! :goodidea:

Welcome back Tim.

I see you got it from Morrow's (Ron Lewis) they are right over the hill from me. Looks nice. Lets see them Recaros.

[Rodeheaver's]

Yes, they gave me a super good deal.

[burntire]

Nice:awsome:

[went9s]

Didn't they have any for men? jk auto should be good with boost

[speedracer]

Looks good all except for only having 2 pedals lol

[PaxtonShelby]

Nice ride Timmy! I'm a big fan of those Recaros.

[Pure Stock]

Looks good man!!

[86GT]

Time to update Hot rod, I think the Hammer is way bigger than 7.5
the new car looks sweet & I bet it runs alot better than you're letting on.
Have you had it on the dyno yet? And what size blower is the stage 2 procharger
for the new car?

[Rodeheaver's]

It put down 345 on the dyno and the stage 2 kit is the same head unit as the stage 1 (P1SC) but it has a dedicated belt for the charger and a bigger intercooler.

[crazylou]

:awsome: Looks good... tim...

[THE BIG KOALA]

Nice car I like the recaros just not comfortable for me.

[Rodeheaver's]

My wheels finally came in today.

[03 OW SVT]

Looks good. Are those Vossens?

[Rodeheaver's]

IDK, late model had them and I liked them! lol

[TooFast98Cobra]

Looks great ! Love the shop . Do you still have that blue turbo Manuel fox ?

[Monkeygrits]

Looks great. I like the blacked out look.

[RUTHLESS]

Oh my Tim the new mustang is gorgeous. I cant wait to see how it turns out when the mods start.

[mr4teth]

Nice car Tim .... new shop looks good too!

[PaxtonShelby]

Looks nice Tim! In 5 months you can drive it!!

[thedak]

Very nice, Such a cute car

[Stangman701]

Looks way better with those :thumbsup:

[2000GT]

Looks good Tim. The stock wheels are :ohno:

[pwtmxracing]

That's a major improvement looks great!!!

[Rodeheaver's]

GOt my coil cover and fuse box cover back from Black Bear Customs, I think they look great!!!

[Rodeheaver's]

Got the windows tinted today.

[2000GT]

Looks nice Tim! Those 2015's are really growing on me!

[speedracer]

Just needs a flywheel, clutch and clutch pedal to be perfect

[PaxtonShelby]

Wow - looks downright sinister now! I take it the local cops don't mind such dark tint?

[86GT]

All of Tim's cars have a movie star tint job & I think every
cop around has known him for years. None of them ever
chase him any more (he's too fast for them) They are
pretty nice to him, they want to drive a fast car too.

[SlowSix]

I've never been bothered by the cops for tint, but mine is only 20% and I usually have the windows down.

Haha ok - I thought that might be the case!!

[Steve-0]

Thats a good looking car.

[2stangs]

I have a black 2015 GT W/GT Performance Package can't wait for spring.

[phillysrt4]

and tint delete ;)

(sorry, not a fan of superdark tint)

[ERR0RMACR0]

Yeah, I got nailed for tint last year--it sucked, had a bunch of tickets on that one. None of them were moving violations though, so that's a plus :)

Chuck, is this you? If so you need to change your username to 3 Stangs. I heard you bought your 14 back.

[95V6]

I would make it ten feet before getting pulled with that tint.

[crazylou]

when a cop pulls u over just put ur windows down....

[KeystoneJohnny]

Car is awesome! Wheels look good Tim. What size is the combo with tire size?

[2stangs]

how you been Kev? yes i do have ruby red back tooooo nice a car to let go.

[2stangs]

its back in the garage Kev to nice to let go.

[Rodeheaver's]

Sorry, no updating this in a while. Here goes.
Bose stock with tire the car went 12.76@111
bose stock with tire and my tune is went a best of 12.47@113
added headers and full exhaust, no cats and my tune 11.99@116
car is an automatic and weighed in at 3975 on Mir scales yesterday with me in it and a full tank of fuel.
Car has race stars on it that IMO are a little on the heavy side but much lighter than my 20s. I'm going to be getting weld rts wheels later on.
I want to get the car ironed out NA before I put the blower on.
Mad of right now this car has kooks 1.7/8 headers which Are far to large for an NA motor. The kooks 1.3/4 headers work much better for NA cars but I'm looking forward to what the supercharger is going to like so I bought the big 1.7/8". It has the wheels, tires and my in house tune. The tuning end of these cars is not 100% yet. I've actually been hashing out some things with SCT so we will end up with what we need to really control this seriously powerful Ecu.

[86GT]

Tim did well at MIR!!!

[PaxtonShelby]

Awesome Tim!!

[THE BIG KOALA]

Congrats Tim.

[Blkstang_gt]

Congrats Tim. Looking forward to seeing that thing with boost!

[CobraII]

Congrats Tim!

[rrjjpp74]

Looks good seen it at Lonnie's Performance one day. Have to get with you on who the guy that does the dodge tuning we was talking about.

[86GT]

Outlaw Street Tuners, OstMike

Thanks, just emailed him!

[Rodeheaver's]

Update, SO I played with the NA set up for a bit and got it to go 11.87 in 2600 DA at PRP.
I have now installed my Procharger kit that Ive had since Febuary and got it on the dyno. Where it put down a solid 670rwhp.
First hit at the track on friday the 21st with the supercharger installed it went 10.17@134, best of the night that night was a 10.07@135.
Saturday night after reviewing logs and adjusting some shift points the car went a 9.90@138 then backed it up with a 9.83 @138. Im pretty happy with the car, there is a good bit more left in it to! This D1 procharger is getting it done!

[PaxtonShelby]

Sweet mother of God. That's great stuff Tim! Congrats on the 9's!!

[SlowSix]

what is the "safe" amount of power on stock internals for these things?

[THE BIG KOALA]

Congrats Tim on the 9's. I was there and saw those passes your car hauls ass.

[Dan B.]

H-o-l-y crap!!

[pwtmxracing]

Congratulations again Timmy that thing was moving when it came by the 1/8 th. Makes me wanna go to the dealership and order a new one lol....
.

[sutyak]

138mph on a stock bottom end plus a blower. That's awesome. :pepper:
How much different are the 2015's vs. the earlier 5.0 Coyote? Do they have the same potential without changing internals?

[RUTHLESS]

Tim I have been waiting you to get the supercharger installed. Very nice. If you don't mind me asking what are you running for fuel?

[PaxtonShelby]

The 15 has forged internals but the '11-'14s do not. Wow that car is really gettin it!!

[Pure Stock]

Look out Terry!!! Nice job man!

Was wondering when you were gonna post this. Awesome. Makes me reconsider selling the '14!

[yeahloh95]

joe when are you updating your sig for your new et sat ngiht ?

[Mark Aubele]

The 15 has forged internals but the '11-'14s do not. Wow that car is really gettin it!!

Just the rods and crank. All coyotes had forged crank. Pistons still junk. Boss' forged.

[Dan B.]

I want to see timeslips............seem to remember another 2015 in the 9's.

:goodidea:

[PaxtonShelby]

Sorry Mark you're right. The pistons are cast aluminum. But if they're holding up they must be pretty solid pieces.

Tim - did you have to upgrade the oil pump gears?

[Rodeheaver's]

Friday night when it went 10s it was pulling knock so i thought it needed some fuel so i put a bunch of 100 street blaze and it did not help, i found why it was pulling knock so it didnt need the fuel but i think im going to keep it on 100 octane to be on the safe side. No, i have not upgraded the gears yet.

[RUTHLESS]

Very impressive! I hope to get my junk fixed and meet you guys at the track next season.

Seems these new 2015 5.0 are all that they were made out to be. :2thumbs:

BTW Change you sig. lol

[Rodeheaver's]

Here is the slip and its not even 100% tuned yet, still gathering data. And click the link for a video.

[somethingclever]

how much boost?

[ttk53]

You may want to water stamp these time slips, someone may steal them. Just saying:2thumbs:

[86GT]

Nice runs Sunday morning Tim. I think you ripped such a big hole
in the atmosphere going down the track that even ol' Bessie tried
to ride your wake & draft your car to a better pass. I bet you were
going faster on the big end than you would go jumping out of a plane.

[MrAudia]

Nice runs!! Love the boost!

[Rodeheaver's]

YEah man, we only hit 120 when I was skydiving yesterday.

[Rodeheaver's]

15lbs so far.

[Troll]

Good Job, Tim! Anything done to the tranny ? stock 3.15 rear ?

[Rodeheaver's]

stock 3.15 gears and I added a circle d converter.

[SlowSix]

Is this on stock halfshafts or did you upgrade them?
This really makes me want a 2015. Damn.

[thedak]

Yes

Damn....

[phillysrt4]

absolutely amazing! Really makes me want to find a junkyard coyote motor and get some forged internals and get my forcefeed project underway!

[zxgto06]

Congrats Tim! Can't beat goin that fast in a full interior street car.

[PaxtonShelby]

Talk about turning up the wick since the track day!! Very happy for you Tim!

[Dan B.]

Dropped almost 2.5 seconds. Wow.

[venom]

American muscle was claiming fastest 2015 with a 9.49, then Watson Racing ran 9.13 over the weekend.

I am willing to bet those are gutted out race cars with light weight windows and all the tricks. I was out a Norwalk a few times watching cars run for fastest claims, however not the ones mentioned above, after seeing how gutted out they were I just shook my head and walked away. I went to the event wanting to see fully optioned street cars in a street class not a drag car playing street.

agree 100%. That's cool that they are fast, but gutted out race cars are not my thing. I would rather watch a full option/interior leather seat street car run a 10 then some purpose built gutted car run a 8.

I agree with this to a point.

If it is a stripped out, 2,500 pound, full race car, thats completely acceptable.

IF you try to convince me it is a "Street car", thats another story.

Both of those cars are not tuned on the factory ecu, mine is and mine also weighs 4000 LBS WITH ME IN IT! I drove it to the track with th eAC on getting 23 mpg.

[CobraII]

Dude, you make me want to sell everything, and buy one of those! And that's before the Procharger!

[somethingclever]

that is alot of power for 2 atmosphere's.....

impressive!


What about the suspension? adjustable or OEM?

[RUTHLESS]

Glad I am not the only one. Took me a custom turbo kit, Th400, SRA and drag suspension to get close to that time on 93 pump. That and my MPGs stink! These new cars are unreal.

[phillysrt4]

They are running a standalone? has something changed from 14 to 15 that they wouldn't use the factory ecu?

I believe the AM car used 2011 cams, ECU, and tuning.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[phillysrt4]

ahhhhhh... okay so its a factory ECU, not the factory ECU for that year car. I was gonna say it would surprise me with the amount of tuning AM does (through their BAMA team) they would abandon a ford ECU and go standalone.

They broke the stock timing chain crank sprocket. Went with a 2011 style chain drive and found out the computer didn't like it. Theirs is also a built motor. Not sure about the Watson Racing car. When I read about it no one said if it was the stock motor or not. Probably all a moot point anyways since Seer has surely gone 8's by now, lol

[Stangman701]

Big congrats Tim! Very impressive for so few mods. +1 on the suspension and half shaft questions, stock or aftermarket?

[SlowSix]

from what I remember of seeing it at carlisle, the bama 2015 was relatively spartan in the interior.

[THE BIG KOALA]

I'm pretty sure it's just lowering Springs an still stock half shafts

wow they must really be putting that through some high boost high RPMs!

I dunno... I looked for some 8 second shoopable slips...

[juice_man_86]

He has Lowering springs and still running the stock half shafts. He has new half shafts sitting on the floor.

[sutyak]

1.4 60' on stock halfshafts? :eek::applause:
138mph with just a blower and full weight?

I guess I found my next car!

Here's Timmy's time slip from Friday. A 9.63

27424

[Dan B.]

Better air or more tuning?

[86GT]

DA was around 1850 when he made that pass
Tim thinks there is more in it as he thinks the car is pulling timing
on the top end. He is only gaining 10.5 mph from the 1000ft to the
1/4

[burntire]

Can I get to 100 miles on my car without ordering boost. Please god give me strength. LOL

Oil pump gears on this car?

[PaxtonShelby]

I think they're still stock. Holy Mother of God.

[RUTHLESS]

Nice passes but get a cage in that thing. We thought we lost you once already and that's enough for me.

[Rodeheaver's]

Yeah all stock so far. Im getting nervous though with my last trap of 141. Im just going to pull the motor and upgrade the internals, then hit it with some real HP! Plus a cage :(

[juice_man_86]

Sleeve it!!!

[86GT]

I just saw the pics of Tim (page 94) & his car (page 96) after he won
the 12 second class at MIR (before he put the blower on) in the December
issue of MM&FF. Cool beans.

I heard a rumor that Tim had brought in a ringer hotshoe
to cut those superquick times.
