Ok well a few updates. I wanted to get a baseline dyno of my car in fourth and since i could only get third when i went to dyno day at jsdyno i went to the dyno day at fjperformance located in delmont,pa. Had a decent turnout with some sick cars. Car stock did 367hp and 336tq. Only mod is magnaflow muffler delete. Thats a big difference from dynoing it in third on the mustang dyno.I am picking up a jlt intake this week and ordering an sct from lethal performance. There was a 5.0 at the dyno day with Jon lunds cam tune and it put down 412hp with just intake, kooks catted headers, and lunds tune. It sounds so good with the cam tune. I want!

Well it's about time for a little update on the car. Right now the car is sitting under a brenspeed Outdoor car cover.

No heated garage's for this thing:



I've finally decided on what blower i'm getting for the car and have been slowly getting the pieces i need for it to run correctly. The blower i have chosen is the Paxton Novi 2200. I was all about a postive displacement blower but they are like 7k for the same power as the centri which is much cheaper and the centri has a lot more potential than the pd blower does. I know the pd blowers have instant power where as the centri's don't. The paxton is a bigger unit than the vortech and has the capability of going to 1000hp. Jpc has there car over 850rwhp right now and runs lower 9's with it. I'm going to keep the stock pulley it comes with but add a jlt intake which gives an extra 1 to 1.5 lbs of boost which with my mods should put me around 550-620whp. My goal is tens. I don't care about high or low but just to hit tens and daily drive. The block will be at its limits around those numbers. If the engine blows i would get an aluminator and shoot for 800rwhp. So here is the part list with cost

Jlt intake: $150
Paxton blower: $3850 - ordered should be two weeks before i have it
aerforce gauge: $220 -ordered
1 step colder plugs: $90 -have them
sct xcal 3: $370 -have it
47lb injectors: $250 - have them
o/r hpipe: $300
Total cost: $5230
+ kb bap used $??
+ install and Jon lund tune +$??

Which is over 2k cheaper than buying a pd kit from the known websites/companys and if i take the gauge and hpipe out its an extra $500 off since those kits don't come with it either.

[BigMack2012Gt]

Got a few items today. Sct xcal 3, 47lb ford racing injectors, 1 step colder ford racing spark plugs, and roush vent pod for the aerforce gauge i ordered thats not here yet:(






Injectors:

maybe i'm the crazy one, but did you really spend $90 on spark plugs??? I know people have their favorites, but in every vehicle i've ever owned, NGK plugs have performed flawlessly, including my TT TransAm... and they're $2 a plug...

On another note, are you sure all you want is 47# injectors? If you ever want to go bigger, they'll most certainly need replaced... and when i bought injectors, to go with larger ones wasn't much more expensive...

Finally - good luck! :D

Haha ya i did spend that. The brisk plugs i liked were $10 each, the ngks came to $79 and the ford racing motorcraft were $89 and when i read about people having problems with the aftermarket spark plugs and switching to the frpp ones i just got them the first time instead of playing around. Trust me a couple people called me crazy for that but i don't wan't to have to switch them later. As for the small injectors lund said i would be good with those up to 9lbs of boost with a bap and they are really easy to dial in. I was going to go with 60lb injectors but apparently 60 and 80lb injectors suck in these cars. Evo has a set of flow matched 75lbs but they are $550 and if i end up going to an aluminator engine i will pick up a set of those.

Nice! How bad is the drone with the Magnaflow deletes? Thanks

[BigMack2012Gt]

Its not that bad. at 70mph cruising i give it a 3/10 on the drone scale. If the radio is on you can't hear it.

[NateSVT]

Bring it over for the H pipe install if you want it'll probably only take about 20 minutes haha

[Seer]

Only difference is, where the gt500 is in its rpm band at that mph vs. a 5.0 due to the gearing.

[BigMack2012Gt]

Nate let me know when and i'll be over :0

If you switch your axleback and want to sell your stock lmk. I just put my hpipe on and it's so loud i can't hear or feel myself breath with the magnaflow muffler deletes on.

Aeroforce interceptor came yesterday so i installed it and my hpipe:

[AutomagicSN98]

I think it sounds mean, and that gauge fits nicely in there. Cars coming along very nicely.

But is it this loud when you get on it?
