Bullitt #2479 Build

[GrnBullitt08]

Getting ready to start the build on my 2008 Bullitt....parts are already starting to roll in. I already have the 302 Stoker motor in place and have been occasionally running it since early December to get it past break in before I go ahead and throw the Paxton on it.

I recieved my Diabosport Mafia MAF in the mail yesterday courteous of 09stroker...cut me a killer deal on a basically new MAF.

I also had the C&L Racer intake (From GoneN60) arrive today that I'm gonna put on a tune in to run for a short time while I'm waiting for the Paxton kit to arrive.

Sending money out to 06Roush tonight for his Foose's to replace the FR500s which have been sold. The fooses should look damn good on the on the Bullitt. (May custom paint the foose once they arrive)

Brenspeed will be tuning the car since they are local and have done all my tuning. They have done an excellent job so far so I'm going to stick with them.

Paxton 2200SL HO Tuner kit which I will be running is from Tony over at Superchargersonline.com, good man with awesome prices. Recommend going to him if your on a budget. (Will be custom painting the intercooler piping) Not sure which color to go with.

Will start posting pics soon. Just need to get some free time to get the camera out and snap some.

Looking to make around the 500rwhp range with a conservative tune....Brenspeed has been trying to talk me into upgrading to a set of custom grind twin screw cams that they offer, which I'm considering.

I'm open to all opinions so feel free to chime in and give me advice on mods I may need to make my build better. Thanks and enjoy.

Sounds like its gonna be a sick build do the cams lol.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah, I've been waiting to do it for awhile.....really excited. I will probably do the cams. They told me an extra 30-40hp. Plus I need to replace my comp xtreme energy cams that I have now. They are not blower friendly.

 

[red_baron06]

How are those cams for an n/a setup from your opinion.

How about fuel pump upgrade, injectors, and spark plugs?

clutch upgrade? 5 spd? hardened input shaft?

Sounds like it will be cool beans.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

GT500 fuel system, 60lb siema deka injectors, I'm running the stock clutch until failure along with the rest of the drivetrain. Spark plugs will be autolites.

Sounds like you got it all ready to go.

Its a stage 3, the old man who built my motor and Brenspeed say to go with the 127 comp twin screws.

Yup, im not gonna replace it until it fails. Get my $$$ out of it. Alot of guys run there stock components and they do fine for awhile.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I could run the cams, but it might affect the power, which I do not want. I want a set of cams that compliment the blower.

Yea go with blower specific ones, or stock.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Thats what I plan on doing...they said the stock cams will make better power #s then my current comps. Disappointing bc the comps cost me some $$$ but I wanna do the build right. I can sacrfice the sound for the power....So if the money isnt there for the 127s...then I'll just stick with the stock until the wallet can handle it.

You can always sell the other cams. Won't get all your money back but I'm sure atleast half.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah, I have a local friend wanting my cams. He just bought the FRPP CNC heads. I'll get $500 back out of them so I can't complain.

Take lots of pics when it's done. Oh if by summer you happen to feel like swapping your car for a slower, uglier version, feel free to PM me.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Oh I plan on taking lots of pics....I'll start tomorrow with how it looks now. You should see some pics up by tomorrow afternoon.

I'll keep that in mind....my fiance is just as exicted as me. She wants to drive it once its done...
I'll be needing a new clutch sooner than I expected.

Yea be careful with that one. You're going for one hell of a big increase in power. I don't know your misses but I do know lots of women (actually people in general) that would end up crashing the car at my power levels let alone with what you will have.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah shes not exp at all when it comes to power....she drives a scion tc. She has no idea what 500hp feels like.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Once I take her for a ride she'll be fine with staying in the passenger seat...
