Tomorrow is the big day!

[ApexStang]

Gotta be at the speedshop by tomorrow morning at 8:30. Dropping off my baby for some serious surgery.

The following is going on:

Whipple HO Kit
Brenspeed Whipple SCT Tune (can't wait for the dyno!)
BMR LCA's
BMR UCA
BMR Panhard Bar
Roush Springs
Roush Shocks/Struts
Roush Front and Rear Sways
SLP Power Flow Exhaust
Steeda Foot Pedals
OR H Pipe (going back on since I finally passed OBDII)
Ford Racing Wrinkle Black Valve Covers (if they arrive on time)

After she is dyno'd and alignment is set, she is going to the body shop for:

GT500 Spoiler to be painted and striped
Agent 47 Mirrors
Shelby Billett Hood Pins

I will be there to record the Dyno time on the digital recorder. I'll post some clips as soon as they finish it up.

I can't wait to get it all done so I can bring her back home and polish it up and do a photo shoot. Good times are coming!

see if you can get SOME pics if any.... Good luck cant wait to see the dyno results !!

 

[ARTTII]

wow man that is a lot of changes for one time around sounds awesome, I'm sure you will enjoy, it will be like a new car


btw, I'm enjoying your old wheels - my old 17"s have been my dedicated winter wheels, snow tires have paid off big daily driving mine up here... hope to put them back on in another month or so.

 

[ApexStang]

Artt, Glad the wheels are working out. I want to see some pics of the ride when you get the wheels back on.

By the way, can any of you see the pic I posted in the original post? For some reason my pics aren't showing up. I always post pics on this forum and have never had a problem. I'm using photobucket.

Thanks,
Apex

red x -

edit: I Just tried it also, must be a problem with photobucket tonight

 

[kooldawg6]

Quite an impressive list for sure!
I'd hold off an an alignment for a week or so(100 miles or so)to give the springs some time to settle! No need doing it from the start, just to have your tires possibly wear wrong a month later
I don't see any pics as of nowin the original post Speaking of pics, when you get the pics from this go around, I have honed my skills since last time

 

[ARTTII]

how did it go?

 

[The Fang]

Do the before and after pics.

 

[whyask]

If photobucket is still down... try imageshack.us fast and much easier !

I like the choice of suspension and FI! That most likely will be my next power mod. I am very interested in your dyno numbers as I will likely be close to that as well after the whipple. Are you forging anything?

 

[ApexStang]

It's going good. Instead of purchasing the Ford Racing Valve Covers, I am having the existing ones Powder Coated in Textured Black. They'll be ready today.

The speed shop expects my car will be done by Thursday. They have a bunch of projects going on and it's only a 2 man shop. So they spread their work out. I'm in no rush, so it's no problem for me. I stopped in yesterday about 6 hours after dropping it off to pick up the valve covers, and they already had most of the suspension installed and the front bumper cover removed.

Can't wait to see it today when I drop the valve covers back off.

No, I'm not forging anything at this time. It would have been nice to be able to do that though. I don't drag the car at all so I think I should be fine with the stock internals. My biggest fear is the clutch. I'm pretty sure I'll have the car back to the shop in 6 months for a clutch upgrade.

sick ride, man thats a lot of money right their in parts and labor.. can i borrow some coin?

 

[ApexStang]

Just as a follow up. I stopped by the shop yesterday and they were running my car on the dyno. The Brenspeed Tune produced 468 RWHP with the Pypes OR H Pipe. The sound of the OR H pipe plus the SLP Power FLow axle backs sounds like Garbage, so I am going to put the catted H back on.

The tune is leaning out and is a bit dangerous right now, so my shop is going to work with Brenspeed today to try and dial it in.

The car looks absolutely sick with the Roush Suspension installed. I can't wait to drive it.

Did you win the lottery or something? The price of the parts would be outrages without installation cost to boot. I would have to take out a second morgage.

Yea, that's a LOT of stuff all at once. Let alone the price of a whipple $$$$.
He must of pulled off a pretty big bank job.

Ha, ha! Na, no bank robbery or lottery. I just work my ass off and fortunately get compensated for it.

I put a chunk in the bank, a chunk in my first born's bank account, and the rest for the Stang.
Oh, and a little something for the wifey to keep her smiling.

 

[whyask]

you my friend are a smart man !.. Kepp the wife smilling and you and the stang will never be un happy ! Congrats on the new upgrades !!!!

468?!? Wow. That's a little more than I was expecting. I want to keep it closer to 425 RWHP. I guess you're still running the 10 lb pulley? If you are, I guess I'm getting the 8 lb to swap out.

I'm still learning all the terminology that is involved with Supercharging, but according to my tech, my car is producing 12 pounds of boost. So is that a 12 pound pulley, or would a 10 pound pulley produce 12 pounds of boost?

Sorry for the idiot question, but I have been wondering about that.

Oh and a update, the Brenspeed tune did not work out. Brent is working his ass off to fix my tune. I'm confident they will be able to work it out. We had to install the Ford Racing tune and it is hammering out 456 RWHP very safely.

Brent feels confident the Brenspeed tune once dialed in will produce into the 470 range safely. Can't wait till they get back from the Fun Ford Racing weekend to work on my tune. I think they are closed through Monday and returning on Tuesday.

I'm picking the car up today. Going to wash and wax it tomorrow because it's supposed to be sunny and 58 degrees here in Apex, NC.
