Cam, your car looks so good without the stripe, the first thing I thought was how classy it looks without it.

 

[GallopingFord]

Fair enough. They are badass though! I might not have the Shelby for long lol

GTR time? I went to cars and coffee the other week and saw a killer looking blue one.

Thanks man. I sometimes look at it and wish it had stripes, but I love the way it looks as is.

Looks sweet Cam! I am trying to sell my subs in place of some Shaker 1000s and putting a cover like that back there since I tore my stock one up lol

Haha, just found this, your car looks good Cam. If you need someone to demo that raptor so you can drive your gt500 I'll gladly help.

I'm looking to get it dyno tuned by JPC. They are not too far (~1 hour) and I know they will do it right the first time.

Badass man what kind of numbers are you shooting for ?

650-680whp with 2.4-2.45" upper

Managed to order a MRT O/R from Jay@Hypermotive today and snagged a used Roush gauge pod on eBay. Hopefully Stiegmeier gets my TVS tomorrow.

I will probably order a Aeroforce later this week from Lethal thanks to my GFs bday giftcard.

 

[GallopingFord]

Just picked up a single Aeroforce gauge and the 3.5bar boost sensor kit.

Thinking of just leaving the stock pulley on the 13TVS for time being and then when I get bored I'll crank it up.

You should just have Steig swap it while it's there. They're a pain in the ass to swap, so that would save you the trouble for, let's be honest, when you swap it soon after anyway. There's no point in having all this work done, but leaving some HP on the table with a pulley swap that could be done now.

That was the plan, but they told me the pulley they would swap on for the TVS were on hold since they were in the process of coming out with a 2.45" The other thing that makes me hesitant of swapping right out of the get-go is I'd probably have to upgrade injectors and it's just money I'd like to hold off on.

I was talking with their rep and they were telling me that the 2.4" doesn't work properly and the grooves are troublesome, but I haven't seen anything on the interwebs.

Who knows, I can always change my mind.

I need to put an order in for a C/R HE soon too.

Which 2.4 are they referring to? If it's the stainless VMP then yes, they're crap. Not sure what the grooves look like on their stock look black 2.4, but the grooves on the stainless pulley are garbage and the belt slips like crazy. We just went through this on my buddys car.

Very nice improvements so far Cam. Can't wait to see the "finished" product. (We all know they're never really finished)

 

[LAStang1234]

CAM!!!! Quit being such a tease! Lol
