2007 GT vert winter build

[BoostedGT480]

Thanks.

I have spoken to numerous tuners, and I am good to go with my current tune.

Fire up will be nerve racking, but I am confident in my work.

I was the same way..I think I had like 4 people with me when I cranked mine just in case. I was freaking out trying to inspect everything an listening for the smallest noises...I dont want to go through it again lol

Oh, just wait till its on the dyno....

Thanks, I am pissing my pants already.

Not sure were I am going yet, but Amazon and Real speed are the top choices. Amazon is 4 hrs and real speed is just about 2hrs.

Will have to wait till it comes back from paint. Ha ha, I made a rhyme.

Motor fired up today but quickly died. I started a thread in the tech section.

Revs to 2500-3k than dies. I can keep it running by feathering the gas, but then I get a po354 code.

P0354 Ignition Coil "D" Primary/Secondary Circuit


Any help would be appreciated.

Isnt JPC near you in PA? Do they tune?

 

[stang389]

you said you did wiring correct? start by checking all your powers and grounds at the pcm also verify that you are getting power to all cylinder coils.

+1 on the vids!

 

[AbdullaGT500]

Sweet! You really got that done quick!

 

[Wicked One]

The most time consuming was waiting for some parts, and then a little troubleshooting.

The removal, build and install could be done in a long day, but why rush.

My buddy took a video today, gotta get him to send it to me.

 

[Wicked One]

The vid sounded like crap!!! need to get the real camera out and get some real footage.

Today was organize and plan the final steps before going to paint.

I did install my agjustable UCA, tomorrow is the driveshaft and some exhaust tweeking.

Here is a quick pic of the roush side skirts mocked up.

Driveshaft in!! The pinion angle is set. I did have a small concern about it being so close to the MGW shifter. But I think it will clear.

Exhaust is almost done. hopefully next week I will get it dropped off at the painter. Then it is just time to relax and ponder my next move.

Thanks everyone for the help and support.

 

[Wicked One]

Exhaust coming along nicely. Got one side all mocked up and ready for welding. Tomorrow will be the other side and hopefully have it all buttoned up by tomorrow night. And then off to paint on tuesday.

Here is one side with the electric cutout all mocked up.

I drove the Commandment out from under the carport today!!!!

Clutch felt great, no fitment issues. I am very happy.

Here are some pics and 2 vids.

Direct link to photbucket, do not know how to embedd them.

Here is the regular exhaust and a quick walk around.

Sounds good! R u still running the BBR Stage 2 cams? Those bad boys sound amazing if you are!!

 

[Wicked One]

Thanks for the embed.

Yep, those are the BBR stage 2 cams with lockouts.

Hood is all cut up and smoothed and ready for paint. The underside of the cervinis hood has too many little road course looking things. This are all gone now.

hood pins all in and aligned. Waiting for some parts for the front bumber and to finish my intake. Also my painter was not to happy with the rear spoiler, said it would make the back end look "heavy". So I just happen to have a gt500 spoiler sitting around, so I threw that on. I am not sold on it just yet, then again, it is red.

Might try a roush or a smaller ducktail. Damn, so close to paint, yet so far.


Here are some pics.

 

[stang389]

thinking possibly like a roush would flow well with the car, i personally dont like the spoiler you had on it and not sold on that one
