California Terminator...

**Wolfpack Speed** · 10-19-2010, 03:16 PM

Just some quick pics of a terminator that was shipped to us from California! A good customer of ours purchased it over the internet and had it shipped to the shop for a go over and some upgrades. After some quick fixes, some testing and a go over, we are going to mount some fresh rubber on the D-10's and screw the rear wheels. Then on the dyno she goes for some baseline data and power numbers. After that, off to the track for some baseline 1/4 mile times

Once we see where everything is at with the car, let the modding begin

Whoa nice! Which whipple is that? Any previous claimed power #s/track times?

**412mustangz** · 10-19-2010, 04:56 PM

I'm told it makes over 600 on 91 octane, not sure on the et's...I guess we will find out! Whipple 3.4.....

Looks sweet!

Love that hood!

It already has an 8.8 conversion but the customer really wants a 9" and redo the rear suspension. It's a stock motor but we are probably going to boost it some more and tune her up for straight race gas. Needs some safety upgrades and may redo the front suspension also. Hopefully we can get everything done and back out to the track before we ship the car back to him...

The car was filthy from the long trip across county, I needed to take some pictures for the customer so I figured I would post them up!

Hey Mike this maybe a stupid question but I am getting H&R Race Springs installed. Would that tire combo fit? Thanks

If my memory serves me correctly, the H&R race springs sit very low don't they? I usually run OEM bullitt spings without isolators for this combo and that will sit the car about as low as you want it to be, and there are still rubbing issues.

Darn, but thank you for the information! The race springs dont sit as low as the super sports but they are still pretty low.

They may work, kind of just have to try and see. Adjustable lower control arms really help to get the wheel centered in the car. You can add ride height with isolators and spacers.

Or get a set of lowers with adjustable perches....

I was going to suggest that, same thing that is on this car. I have never seen a set of adjustable lowers that also had adjustable perches which is why I didn't say anything. You can always get the ride height/vertical clearance but getting the wheel/axle positioned properly is a different story without and adjustable lower control arm.

**racefan** · 10-22-2010, 04:33 PM

Is that thing heading to the upper part of the world?

Me neither....

Ajustable LCA's and Coilovers would get the job done on any car with a SAS.

**2010 Shelby** · 10-23-2010, 04:27 AM

Car looks great with the drag set-up!

I agree but I don't care for coilovers on your typical stock suspension 8.8 car....

Got the car on the dyno for some baseline data and numbers. Little rich, low timing, 91 octane topped off with some fresh 93 to be safe...full drag trim
