Wow, what a gorgeous car! LOVE the wheels! And the ride height looks perfect. How's the fitment with those 315's?

 

[scotty]

Looks awesome!!!!

 

[bmaxwell]

Very nice ride man. Making me want to get one as well! Looking at 5.0's or these. I like how the 315s fit. How wide are the rear rims??

Thank you for the kind words everyone! I can't wait to get the TVS! Does anyone know the usual delivery time for the VMP TVS? I haven't received any tracking info for it.

It took about 4 days for me to get mine. I ordered all my stuff at the same time, and the blower actually showed up first (the TB & CAI showed up a couple days after that). I had to wait a couple of weeks to get the injectors modified was the only frustrating part. You are going to love the VMP TVS. I may have overlooked it in the thread, but what all are you doing in addition to the blower?

 

[GallopingFord]

Any update with the VMP? Thanks to you I jumped from the 295, and went to the 305/35. The shipping time is killing me at the moment though. Just got all tires today.

 

[Shotokan1509]

That is an amazing setup, car looks perfect (just do something with the big orange front blinkers)

Just helped a friend install a 2013 tvs. It laid down similar numbers to the vmp.

Justin emailed me a few days ago and notified me that he is waiting on a new shipment of blowers to come in. I just got the Afco dual fan HE and VMP 3x reservoir today. Should be 2-3 weeks on the blower. I'm in no hurry at this point.
As for the tires, I decided to go with a smaller tire just based on looks. The front wheels look so big compared to the rears because of the tire size. I ordered 285/30/20 Nitto INVO's for the rear.

Thanks! I'm not sure I want to get rid of the stock side markers for some reason.

Sweet! How did the install go? I can't wait to get mine installed!

 

[bmaxwell]

Damn I was hoping you'd have some more things done to her

 

[Seer]

We did the install in about two and a half hours. Went super smooth

Car looks great man. The wheels really look good and totally transformed the look of the car.

 

[Doug M]

[RedMosesSC]

Thanks man! I think so too!

I think it will be more powerful than the convertible on a dyno, but I don't think it will feel as fast to me, especially since the convertible had 4.10 gears.

DAMN! that stance is perfect.
