I would hope so. That car was just obnoxious.

**BigMack2012Gt** · 02-07-2012, 06:55 PM

Idk. I need to get a wot video here and see. I think it may be that obnoxious.

If you're thinking it might be that, uh... "robust," then it probably is!!

Remember...one man's obnoxious is another guy's PERFECT!!

Can't wait to hear it!

That Kona blue sure was sexy, and that car had a nice non-Pennsylvania stance.

It got me wondering what mine is going to sound like with long tubes and h pipe

**BigMack2012Gt** · 02-08-2012, 08:29 PM

Well it seems to have quieted down some somehow and i'm starting to like it more and more. I tried to get a wot video tonight but my cameras batteries died before i could get one.

here's a quick start and up drive video:

The blower is on now just have to wait for next week for a remote tune! The shop did a great job with the install!

**Mater** · 03-02-2012, 06:45 PM

Nice

**PaxtonShelby** · 03-02-2012, 09:01 PM

I remember waiting for that first ride in my '66 after the Paxton went on.

Like Lou Pappan used to say...."You gonna like it!!!....an dats a promise!!!"

Looks like it was in good hands!

Figured i would update this thread as over the next few months i'll be adding more parts. Right now my tune is pretty close to what i want timing wise i would like a little less fuel and i just have to send Lund a current log and he will get rid of my 10.8 wot a/f and make me around 11.8.

The mods i plan on doing over the next few months are as follows:

3.55 gears (upgrade from my stock 3.15's)
Dynatech or Dss 1 piece aluminum Driveshaft
Stainless works or Kooks headers
M/T 305/35/19's to help me hook :)

Also i might go down a pulley size to help with my lack of torque

I just received the gears and its not time for my first oil change in the car

Amsoil ss 10w30 (upgrade from the mixed motorcraft 5w20) and some 75w140 gear oil:

I had a little curb rash from me not paying attention:

Quick fix you cant tell from a distance but if your right on top of it you can see the different color of paint:

Go with the Stainless Works headers.

I just installed the Dynatech shaft and it's a great piece.

**PaxtonShelby** · 07-28-2012, 01:51 PM

Do you gain much with the SW headers ( or any other brand )? Is it more of a sound preference, or is there actually a performance gain?

**THE BIG KOALA** · 07-28-2012, 04:58 PM

I heard SW had good gains and they just came down in price. I also heard the dynatech headers are pretty good.

I've seen and been told that there has been gains of close to 30 hp's with the SW headers Ron.

**Seer** · 07-29-2012, 10:33 AM

Mack will probably pickup a bit more, due to having boost. But the coyote doesn't really gain a ton with headers NA, due to the fact they come stock with a shorty/mid header.

**BigMack2012Gt** · 07-29-2012, 07:56 PM

Ya I would hope for at least another 20hp with the Sw headers. I can get the catless ones shipped to me brand new for 1180 from Beefcake racing. I just want to hit my goal of 600whp and i will be happy. Its just a number but i want it :)

**PaxtonShelby** · 07-29-2012, 08:36 PM

Beefcake's car is something else. He's also running a Paxton, right?

$1180 for headers - YIKES!! I guess that's what they call the "new car tax" ?

**BigMack2012Gt** · 07-29-2012, 08:56 PM

You get headers and a mid pipe for that price. Thats actually cheap compared to most of the other setups. They want at least $1400 for american racing.

Ya Beefcake is running the Vortech sl trim which i believe is the same as the paxton 2200 head flow wise @1450cfm setup at 21psi and is just over 1000rwhp. Only difference between his setup and mine is he is using the 8 rib belt system and im on the 6 rib. When i blow this motor and i get my aluminator i will be going with an 8 rib setup going for only around 850 daily driven.

**PaxtonShelby** · 07-29-2012, 10:37 PM

I guess that's not so bad considering you get the mid-pipe as well.

Yikes - already planning on blowing this motor??? I guess 850 is a nice round number for a dd...

Are you still running the stock clutch? If so, how is it hanging in there? Do you think you're going to need a twin-disc setup for this power level? I know you'll need it on your "next" motor.
