2008 "tigermachine II" Bullitt Mustang build, Pics & Video on Post #518 ...

[skwerl]

How can you claim to "not get hung up on numbers"? Most {normal} people who "aren't hung up on numbers" don't have carbon fiber plaques with (fake) horsepower numbers plastered on the dashboard. And yes, I'm calling the [crank horsepower] calculated number {fake}.

My car makes more power than what I have listed in my signature line here, but the numbers I listed are backed up with an actual dyno sheet. And no, I didn't add a percentage to calculate crank horsepower.

Damn I Thought This Thing Was Getting Twin turboed......

Dave,

We know that the 20% loss with the Auto is just to me an approximation at best.

15% for the Manual and 20% for the Auto.

Personally to me way to darn many people get hung-up on numbers.

I much prefer being an older guy to get in the Mustang and try it out from the, Seat-of-the-Pants feel.

Either the Damn thing is Faster or it is not.

In my case I can't actually say for this new set-up, yet.

You can bet I will know soon though.

Enjoy the car, people will have their opinions, personally I don't believe the % loss figures at all, I don't think it's linear. I think that unless u have the motor on a engine dyno you never know and it's the "estimation" that gets some panties in a twist.

Best
Dave

Terry, I have always been a fan of the Tigermachine, and I can't wait the see the new and improved 2014 version!

 

[tigerhonaker]

Terry you quoted me but didnt answer me lol. What the heck man.

Terry whyd you choose the 2.3 over the 2.9? Any other performance mods made or was the blower swap it?

OOPS screwed that up huh.

Here is the answer from my end as best as I can reply honestly.
I did not choose the size of the Roush at all.
Brent & I discussed all aspects of what I told him I wanted.
He chose the Roush and other assorted items.
Those I will Post once I actually get two things.
The camera and the Mustang back after The Texas Shootout.
Yes, to make this clear, there are other performance changes other than a Roush Blower.

Man, seriously, you have never ever met me and you talk to me on post here on S-197 like you can't stand the ground I walk on.

Let me see if this will work with you.

I'm not going to debate with you on numbers.
I'm not going to argure with you on my thread on my Bullitt Mustang.

What I am willing to say to you is this.

I'm glad you are really excited and luv your Bullitt Mustang.

With the above being said man calm down I'm not in competition with you or anyone else.

Your taking this stuff way to much to the heart and it's just not necessary.

Enjoy your Bullitt Mustang as I hope to mine when I get it back.

Damn I Thought This Thing Was Getting Twin turboed......

Nope just a little Ole Roush Supercharger and a few other items.

Dave, believe me when I say this.

I don't get all torn-up over this car thing it is just not worth it.

Life is way to short for any of us to be dicks to one another.

People like to see Dyno Numbers so I thought since I got it yesterday from Brent I would post it.

Crank H/P numbers we can beat to death but honestly who really gives a shit.

Hang in there as I am trying my best to,
Terry

Andy,

One of these days hopefully I will have the camera and the Bullitt Mustang here at home after the Texas Shootout.
(Texas Shootout is this coming weekend)

If I can possibly have the time to do the posting I will.

The ones here on S-197 that have an interest in the Bullitt can check it out.

Those that want to Debate & Argue with me over the Bullitt I am not going to go there.

I'm just not into that sort of thing to be honest.

I like cars and have since the mid 60's so I'm a car sort of fellow.

What I'm not is a fellow looking to BUST other guys Chops over Bull-Shit that really just does not matter anyway.

Thanks for your interest in the Mustang of mine and I hope you will not be disappointed when you see the real deal.

Take Care,
Terry

I shutter to think about how much you have spent on your car. But it's a super clean and very nice. I'm sure you enjoy the shit out of it. I know I would.

 

[i am ryan]

I saw Brenspeed's Facebook post about your buddy's Bullitt yesterday. Way too cool!

I expect to finally see the car at a Nashville Cars N' Coffee in the near future!

Exactly.

Well I will soon I'm thinking.
We shall see tomorrow late evening.
I think all will be just fine once the Next-Day-Part arrives so they can do the install.

Ryan,

Man I am looking forward to dropping by for the, Cars N' Coffee for sure in the future.

I like that sort of thing.

Oh, Bobby's Bullitt that Brenspeed did the Paxton Supercharger and some other things.
Yes that was so damn super cool for sure.
Bobby did not even have a Clue !!!
He thought we were going to pick up my Bullitt.
In reality it was his on the Dyno with the Brenspeed Car Cover on it.
If Brent gets time to complete the Video you will luv watching Bobby as we take the car cover off his Bullitt.

It was an Awesome day and I am glad I was in the position to do that for a buddy.

There is a New Thread on here Bobby did today.

Sqwerl is just mad that your RWHP is more than his made up crank hp in his sig, which for some reason is ok for him to use crank hp and not you Terry.

Update regarding Terry's Bullitt

This afternoon I accompanied Terry to pick up his Completed Bullitt at Brenspeed, and I rode shotgun with him back to the hotel in Warsaw, Indiana..

His latest round of Mods are working Perfectly.

Tomorrow we will be convoying to Little Rock, and then Friday to Lufkin, Texas for the Bullitt/Mach 1 Shootout.

You don't really know how things work around here, do you? The only numbers worth a shit are the ones you get on a slip after a run down the track.

Plus, you're wrong; Brian listed rwhp, not fictitious crank numbers. Again, we don't really care about either.

Exactly, those numbers are a "Hero" pull. So I'm more inclined to believe the 560rwhp dyno pull from an unbiased shop.

He is shiting all over terry for using crank numbers from his daily driver tune and he has use a "Glory" pull from a happy dyno, using unicorn piss as gas that might blow up doing a burnout on the track.

Since terry's car with the saleen blower and 560 some odd rwhp can rip a 10.3. and sqwerlz does the same, I'm sure the unbiased dyno is the "Real" number.

so yeah, the "HERO" unicorn piss numbers in his sig are more inline with CRANK than rwhp.

Sorry terry for shiting up the thread. Sqwerl did the same thing on FNsweet. I think he has PTSD when the name "Brenspeed" is brought up and has to shit all over the fun in the thread of someone who uses them.

 

[cbass]

Terry, there is only one question worth answering.
Fuck "how much HP?"
Fuck "how much % loss from crank to pavement?"
Real question: Do you enjoy the car more than you would enjoy seeing a pile of paper with dead presidents on it? End of the day, you only need to make you happy.

 

[Doug M]

Congrats Terry..

I hope you enjoy your build every minute of the day, you deserve it!
Look forward to all the happy updates

Like was already said. Its what makes you happy. Its your car and money; so have fun Brother!
