    March 2013 Car of the Month: Sherrod Mustang

    Congratulations Joe, it is about time your work was featured. Thanks for selling me the Supershaker, I am still enjoying it. Your car has come a long way and looks sinister. Sick ride!

    Supercharged saleen cold start trouble

    Reading the word LEAN makes me want to call Brenspeed to have this issue resolved on mine. I always assumed it was a rich condition or a throttle angle problem. As long as a left turn is not required i don't care that much. I just baby it for the first two miles or so and it is fine. Thank god...

    Supercharger Reliability?

    I love my Saleen set-up. It has been really reliable. 38000 miles on the car with 31000 of that with the blower. I still have the original clutch in the car. As long as you don't hammer on it all the time you will never regret the upgrade. But prepare yourself for the bug to bite and make you...

    First time at the strip! How'd I do?

    Ah, another victim of D.A. Welcome to the "high altitude" version of drag racing. Prepare yourself for the disappointment of comparing your times to "sea level". Especially when the temps climb into the high 90's. I have seen D.A. in the 11,000 ft. range. Go buy some traction and see how that...

    Laps at Miller FR500S

    Miller Motorsports Park is a world class facility for sure. It is good to know you had a fun time here in Utah. The racing experience they provide at MMP is amazing. The cost is pretty high, but the track and the cars they provide are second to none. Next time you need to try the full deal...

    A little TNT with the new tranny!

    Wouldn't you kill for a negative DA like they get on the east coast? It is hard to make power at that kind of altitude. I feel your pain for sure. Good numbers anyhow.

    It was a dynojet.

    New clutch trouble or not?

    Maybe you couldn't smell the clutch over the smell of new leather.

    tune question

    Run #1 was 420hp 401tq. Run #2 was 419hp 390tq. They were back to back runs with thirty seconds in between. I am just wondering if you think I will get enough extra power from a local custom dyno tune to justify spending 350 to get it. If I stand a chance of gaining 40hp then maybe so. I do...

    tune question

    It was a local "dyno day", so we did not get the one on one deal. Run conditions were 84.98 degrees F., 25.85 in. Hg, 19% humidity. If this is correct that makes the DA 11724 ft. BAD AIR! It just didn't affect the other cars the same. His custom tunes are quite pricey at the paltry sum of 350 so...

    tune question

    Mods are in my signature where you found the DA # of 7003 ft. That is not the altitude here, we are at 4200 ft. The car has always been a little slower than I expected. My best trap speeds are 113 no matter the conditions. There were other cars at this dyno day that did very well for their mods...

    What mods do you regret?

    Almost ashamed to admit it but a Steeda throttle body spacer. That is what I get for trusting advertising. But in my defense it was very early into ownership and nobody was bashing them at the time..... AWESOME paper weight!

    tune question

    Just wondering what you guys think my car should be putting down on a dynojet. I had the car dyno tested today and I must admit I was pretty disappointed with the results. It had a nice safe A/F ratio at 11.5, but the numbers were low. It only did 420 hp, and 401 tq. I expected better even...

    It's about time you hit the list. Well done Earl. Always has been a sweet ride. 15 gauges is my count.

    WTB 3.4" Saleen pulley

    What pulley are you currently running? I have a 3.4 I can part with. $40 and split the ride?

    Question on intercooler hose routing

    I did mine with the idea that pulling as much heat out of the fluid with the heat exchanger before diluting the cool water in the tank with hot water would work best. Mine runs tank to intercooler to heat exchanger. I just wanted the bulk of the fluid in the system to stay cooler, and if you add...

    '03/'04 Cobra, '07-'09 Cobra, New 5.0?

    G.T. 500 is the winner. For the price you can't beat it. If you want big power it is only a few thousand dollars away. Most of the G.T. 500s I see are low mileage "investment" cars. Now that the bottom has fallen out owners are bailing.

    Questions on Intercooler Hose sizes

    I would imagine the system would only be as good as its smallest fitting. That would be the limiting factor in the plumbing. The bottleneck is what you want to avoid. The only plus to this would be increased capacity in the system overall. From your earlier posts I don't think capacity is an...

    Saleen S/C's and High Air Inlet Temps

    Ram effect or not it really doesn't matter that much to me as I am seeing MUCH cooler temps on the Saleen IAT guage. I have noticed that the temperature climbs to about 120 at the top end of third at WOT, but it drops back down to the peg in just a second or two. We will see how this really...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I moved the battery to the trunk and installed a Moroso coolant reservoir for the supercharger. I am no wiring expert so the initial battery connection and start-up were a bit of tested faith in myself. If you have attempted this you know what I mean... Fried wiring sucks!

    My 'Stang took a bad hit today....

    The most important things are all right, you and your son, but the damage to a family member has been done. I too felt sick after hitting debris on the freeway 6 months after getting the car new. I feel your pain, but yours has more mechanical damage than mine did. Good luck with the repairs.

    Boss 302 - Red @ Villa Ford

    This kind of reminds me of when the PJ boss came out. A local dealership had one that sat out front for eight months. I wanted that car more than any other mustang I have seen to date. However, with a price tag of $68,000.00, there was no way I was buying it. Strange how the BOSS is always...

    Saleen S/C's and High Air Inlet Temps

    I'll second that opinion. Ram air, all the way. I just moved the battery to the trunk and installed the Moroso tank in its place. I am going to finish the plumbing in the morning. I changed the inlet and outlet fittings because they had an ID of 3/8 ". I am hoping to see some even cooler temps...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I sat at home pointlessly waiting for parts to arrive that apparently won't be here until Monday now. I guess paying an extra $35 for 2nd day air wasn't enough to get them to the door today. Nasty that car is looking good. Love the front end. Should look awesome when the hood is painted.
