BMR Tech's S550 Mustang Build: Street/Strip

[BMR Tech]

Dropped car off at Kesatie Motorsports today in Sarasota, for him to get started on the engine build.

FRPP Race Block
Mahle Pistons (11.0:1 CR)
Manley H-Beams w/ ARP 2000
Stock Heads/Cams
Stock Crank, modded/Pinned by Matt Kesatie

Once the rings are seated, she's getting MOAR BOOST

Damn Kelly, that was pretty uneventful for a 10 flat. Like walkin the dog. Sweet. Is that on the stock converter?

Yup, stock converter.

Peak power just over 7,500RPM... Fuck!!!

Crazy huh? These 15's are something special.....thats for damn sure.

 

[Bud]

Everything is better with Moar Boost! Should be good

 

[ZmanM3]

Wow, impressive build.

Any updates? You mentioned earlier that there were media outlets covering it. Did I miss the results or any articles? Can you post links if so?

Be careful... might not be allowed to call this a '15 anymore after all that engine work... ;-)

Car is running strong. Made some 1/8 attempts over the weekend, but the track was not having it. It was a "street heat" event....so I didn't expect much.

I will be updating the thread soon.

I made sure to keep all of the 2015 Heads, Cams and Timing Components.

It's definitely not a stock 2015 Mustang engine though!

 

[BMR Tech]

Oh, I forgot to mention - I went with a new 2015 block - not the FRPP Block.

Still has the IRS, stock ECU and tranny....

Does it have stock lug nuts? If not, can't claim 2015 records.

 

[Department Of Boost]

I really don't understand this "gotta be stock" thing. Not unless it's some sort of class racing.

If I put 15' lug nuts on my 07' can I go for the 15 record? I just can't figure these rules out.

Our 15' has the stock trans, stock ECU, stock IRS and the only car with a stock Ford blower. I think that makes ours the fastest "real" S550.

I mean, send me a gratis supercharger kit, and I'll tell everybody it's a stock 2001 hyundai elantra.

That seems legit.

I see your point but when you are posting you have the fastest s550 and it has cobra jet internals, non stock tranny, ecu and rear end...jus sayin.....

Debating, not arguing.

Next year when the Cobra Jets become available they will have solid axles, who knows what trans (won't be a A6), non stock ECU and will share almost no parts with a stock motor. Does that mean they aren't S550's?

It means its a Cobra Jet.

 

[Department Of Boost]

It means its a Cobra Jet.

You do know that SN95, S197, S550, etc are chassis designations right? Not powertrain.

Checkmate.

What does the Fox say?

[BMR Tech]

Hahaha. You guys crack me up.

Just got done doing some logging for Ken@Lund, at my local "test spot"

That guy is amazing at what he does.

Small steps, making sure everything is as close to perfect as possible. It's about to become bigger steps though.
