These are the "adjustments" I had to make to the steeda double DS loop to make it fit my 3.5" dynotech. It is now only a single loop

Sorry guys, I really need to do better at keeping this updated. Will edit to get videos in this post

Took the car to a dyno day April 20th. I have a 12lb spring in the car and I couldn't get it over 23-24lbs of boost with the controller. I was also loosing spark above 4500-4700 rpm. Netted 866whp with the issues.







Per Manuel's request I jetted down to a 50shot for the initial nitrous log. Did the logs on mid boost which is 16ish lbs and it was nuts. I have since changed the wg spring so I am now seeing 20 lbs on gate. Also stepped up to the 75 shot jets.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I get a chance to get it to the track before I start making some "adjustments" again lol. I have some stuff planned.

Well the car no longer has a turbo kit on it. I have sold the kit that I made, along with the GT4508R turbo. I am ready to not have to worry about coolant temps anymore. Slim fans are not the best for coolant temps, along with having a big hot turbo wedged between the radiator and engine. I'm going to be putting in a thicker radiator along with the GT500 fan setup. Going with an S&H twin turbo kit. Should be able to make just as much or more power and be more comfortable to drive again. Ac will be added back along with putting the engine bay back to more of a stock orientation. I will keep the Nitrous Express kit as well. Stay tuned as I should hopefully have it back up and going in a couple weeks at most. At the mercy of shipping right now.

Car is about as far as I can get it till the turbos get here, along with a few more stock parts. Too the AC delete out along with the oil filter relocation. Reinstalled all the AC parts and the stock fan. I have to say I am pretty happy getting the car back this close to stock as far as accessories and stuff is concerned.

Car has been having a few hickups since switching to the twins. The wideband decided to stop working so I had to replace it. I did go to the track once. Got one clean pass before losing the clutch. Replaced the RST with an RXT1200. Just trying to get some miles on that now. Hopefully get the car back to the track this season yet. Anyway here are a few pics

Well I definitely changed things up from my last update. I found a good deal on a full Freddy Brown 4R70 setup with circle D convertor. I sold the tr6060 setup and went to work. Removed the nitrous as well. Traded my mild built rear end for a stock one plus some cash to rebuild it as well(since I was going to need a gear change anyway). Things snowballed a bit, but I got the car running again this weekend. New mods include

BMR relocation brackets
Ford racing 3.73 gears
UPR spherical uca bushing
BMR bolt in antiroll
Comp ct3x-6767 oil less turbos
Freddy Brown built 4R70 trans with transbrake, mvb, lockup, overdrive
Circle D 258mm 3b 3800 convertor
Carter Motorsports CO2 kit
Boost leash boost controller w/ pulse
NRG steering wheel with quick release
Biondo racing buttons
BMR parachute mount
RJS parachute
RJS harnesses
Maximum Motorsports 6pt bolt in roll bar
Stange adj struts
Derale 13700 dual pass trans cooler
Hurst quarter stick shifter
Strange 35 spline axles
Strange lightweight spool
Strange c clip eliminators

That's a pretty good list. I think I'm forgetting a few things, but oh well. Hopefully the car runs well this year.
