brought my srt-4 out with my dads lightning and had a lot of fun on the track going back n forth ( me with bolt ons running about 18psi and dad was pullied with tune on diablo ).

that same night a yellow srt-10 truck was talking smack and got blown away ( i wish i had that video or the picture of all 8 lightings facing off with the srt-10 ).

and all this lightning talk is making me regret not getting any of the lightnings/harley davidsons i saw before i got the fox lol!

Maximum Motorsports C/C plates are relatively cheap and very, very high quality. Highly recommended.

edit: Guy beat me to it.

update... brought the stock timing cover into work today to bead blast it and clean it up... lemme tell ya what... this blows... the lip at the top of it for the water pump holds dirt very well down in the corners. and that grayish green coating on it (dont think its a powder coat its to thin i think) is a pain to get off. not as bad as the powder coat on the stock intake plate but it still sucks. but the dirt and oil build up in that front lip is killing me!

srtthis · Dec 7, 2009

&^$%$^*&^%*$

just found out my cable for rear mounting the battery isnt big enough... need some 2 gauge... UUTEFFFF

srtthis · Dec 11, 2009

alright the timing cover is finally done! i dont wanna know how much time i have in this, but im sure i should have just ordered a new one from ford

srtthis · Jan 4, 2010

srtthis · Jan 9, 2010

still need to go get a 3g alternator but the stock one will work for me to get it up and running. any one ever run a car with out a fan when its in the 20's? dont think ill have a over heating problem when its this cold but wanna take it around the block to make sure everything is good to go

tannerc91gt · Jan 9, 2010

Pretty much from november to end of feb I run mine with the fan off. Doesn't get close to over heating. I've got the higher tstat in for heat and as long as I don't sit and idle forever it's just fine.

srtthis · Jan 9, 2010

cool might throw the stock intake back on and take it around... wanna make sure i got everything in right... just gunna run off the alt. i dont have a battery try or anything now. so ill just start it and pull the battery

srtthis · Feb 19, 2010

updates...

it runs... have ZERO voltage off the TPS signal wire... gunna try a different meter tonight to see if my old cheap meter is the cause.

but it idles nice at around 900rpm... want to get it down around 650-750 range.

have the inner fenders out right now cleaning up the surface rust and painting flat black. i'll get some pictures tonight. still have to mount my puke tanks. electric fans should be here tonight and i'll get them in next week or so. not in a rush there its to cold to even worry about driving it. next month ill order the intake then the nitrous kit

srtthis · Mar 8, 2010

radiator needs a fresh coat of paint for sure... actually i need to strip most of the engine bay down to rapaint everything
