Super Bad A$$ 2009 S197 3v R-Spec Build Thread!!!
This is going to be one really, really nice street car. This is not a race car build. It will never run down the strip. It will never run at the road course. It’s built to drive around on the street with stupid power while remaining reliable (always runs cool), fun to drive, stealth and not obnoxiously loud. I think when this is done it will be one of the baddest 3v’s on the planet.
I’m building this for a friend. I don’t do “customer” work but I made an exception for this car because I’m getting to do it how I would do it if it were my own car. This is the car I would build if I could afford it. We’re expecting 850rwhp (the limit of the injectors). With bigger injectors, it will go 1050-1150rwhp, everything is there to support it. But seriously, 850rwhp with street tires with a street suspension in car without a roll bar, race seats and harnesses is scary enough!!!
Here is the quick rundown. Not all of the details are sorted out yet:
Motor
-4.6L
-9.25:1
-Manley H Beam Rods
-Manley Pistons
-Kellogg crank
-ARP everything
-DSS Main Support System
-ATI Superdamper
-Billet oil pump gears
-FRPP Stage I heads with bronze valve guides
-Comp 127550 cams locked out at -6deg
-PAC springs
-V-10 block off plates
-TFS cam chain/crank sprockets
-Custom valve covers with custom crankcase breather system
Power Adder
-Department Of Boost R-Spec manifold kit
-Department Of Boost 10 rib belt drive system
-3.4L Whipple Crusher Supercharger
Inlet
-JLT 148mm Super Big Air
-75mm Whipple twin bore throttle body
Cooling
-Afco radiator
-Department Of Boost MONSTER heat exchanger
-Department Of Boost MONSTER degas tank
-Stewart “Super" Pump 27 gallons per minute
-Lines and fittings 1.25” braided Kevlar with AN fittings
Fuel System
-Lethal Performance triple pump e85 rated return system
-iD1000 injectors
Exhaust
-Not sure yet. Big headers and 3in all the way out though
Transmission
-T-56 Magnum XL with 2.66 first gear
-RXT clutch
-Custom shift handle and knob
-Dynotech aluminum driveshaft
Brakes
-Stoptech 14” full floating 4 piston
-Fancy/Matching rotors in the rear
Suspension
-D-Specs
-Eibach springs
-MM CC Plates
-Steeda tubular rear control arms
Rear End
-Stock with a 3.55. There won't be enough traction to break anything.
Wheels/Tires
-True Forge 20x10 front - 20x11 rear
-Michelin Pilot Ssupersports 275/35 front – 305/30 rear. 315 rears were on galactic back order. As soon as these 305’s are smoked (which won’t be long!) that’s what is going on.
That’s the broad strokes. There will be lots of little details and custom bits by the time it’s done. Those items will be in the build thread.
