Bullitt #2479 Build

Would you recommend not upgrading the flywheel as well?

Up-Grade to a Steel Matching Flywheel.

You will not regret that decision I promise you.

Ok, so steel is the way to go, not the aluminum.

Depends on who you ask, but most on this site are gonna suggest a steel. General rule of thumb is to use a steel if you like drag racing and aluminum for the road course guys.

Im gonna wait till mine starts slipping and then Ill order it and an aluminum shaft

My OEM clutch still holds pretty well at 70K; 30 of which I've had the Vortech on. I've heard nothing but great things about the RST.

For the Street I would say go with the Steel Matching Flywheel.

It gives the 4.6 the needed extra weight to launch the car from a Stop, Drag-Strip or Street.

You will Not be Disappointed going with the "Steel Flywheel".

Aluminum Flywheels you have to REV-UP to take off as they Do-Not have
the Weight of the Steel to help the Small 4.6 take off from Stops.

Opinions will Vary on this subject as with all other subjects discussed.

Yeah so far so good on mine...but im pretty sure it wont make it throught the summer. If it does, I'll be more than happy.

Uploading final pics of the car....finally.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Here are the pics of the final product of my car and build....the lower grille is still missing. I'll order one soon.

Sick I like the rims, you going to lower it?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I currently have FRPP CJ Drag Springs. Car is 4x4 a little.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I may need to switch to a lower spring or a set of coil-overs

Just check your Pics out.

Man, you can certainly see the intercooler with the grille out.

Actually it looks pretty Awesome in away .......... (Grille-Out)

This is Excellent

Nice.

Thanks Terry... The intercooler on this Paxton kit is a monster, it's hard to hide it. Even with the grille insert it will still be visible I'm sure. The only thing I'm unhappy with is the current ride height at this point. You'll prob see it change very soon if my income allows it to.

Well, truthfully, I like it all.

I especially like the Choice on Colors you did on the different Blower Pieces.

And I like the GIANT intercooler.

Way Cool Big Guy

[GrnBullitt08]

Thanks. I'm happy with the way the motor turned out, especially the color scheme.

 

[ZmanM3]

Your engine bay and car look awesome! I've liked the bullets since they came out.

i dont think the ride height would be so bad if you ran a drag style wheel. also are those wheels 99-04 offset? that kind of makes them look funny with the rake and skiinny sidewall
