Next Mod - Suggestions Welcome

[tmcolegr]

The TCI's have been known to do that. And FWIW, I'm running a PI triple with a 3500 stall, and it works great on the street.

Hindsight is 20/20

Interesting... mine has been fine. Maybe an issue with lowered cars??

Could be. I am lowered 1.50" in the rear.

 

[S197 GT]

For what it's worth I run a Powerhouse shaft and I am running the Steeda Sport springs without any issues.

Mini tubs and 335's!

• Meziere Elec. H2O pump w/V10 idler
• Thump_rrr Tensioner
• SOS Cup Holder Gauge Pod w/4 switches (Line Locks, MSD 2 Step, I/C Pump, H2O Pump - for future use) & Custom Engraving - Already ordered
• Larger Heat Exchanger - undecided on vendor
• Autometer Voltmeter for SOS Cup Holder Gauge Panel (I lost my volt meter when I switched to the GT 500 gauge cluster - Already ordered

Thank again for everyone's suggestions.

I knew you'd end up going with the line locks... LOL!

Looks like a nice addition to an already incredible mod list!

13.5 psi on stock internals...? Did I read that right?

 

[tmcolegr]

You sure did!!

and my tuner had me all scared over my 12psi. nice. My .02 on your mods. Larger heat exchanger gets my vote. Have you had it tuned? Have you seen the quarter mile cooler? Forget who makes it. 8 Gallon intercooler resevoir that goes in your spare tire well. MM&FF has a write up on it.

You can do it so much cheaper then they do it.

 

[Liftedbronco]

yea i suppose you could. Dont need a $600 stainless steel tank.

 

[94tbird]

i happen to think mine looks a whole lot better too haha. It may not be as big but it holds about 8 gallons in total with the Tank, HE, and lines i think

 

[Liftedbronco]

yea I saw your thread right after I posted. Im gonna have to do that setup one of these days. It looks good!

Yes it has been custom dyno tuned.

I agree on a larger more efficient heat exchanger. However, I'm not going to experiment at my expense. I will watch others to see what works or does not work. Then I will upgrade the heat exchanger.

 

[Liftedbronco]

Great, and tell me what you decide on.
PS just bought an off road X to tide me over till the long tubes, msd launch control and an oil separator.

Highly recommend GordsFord for the heat exchanger. It's an awesome piece. Scroll down to post #107 here.

Were there any interference issues with the stock GT front fascia? I am curious to see how it would fit with my GT 500 front fascia & lower grill. Did the P/S cooler have to be modified?

 

[don_w]

No interference with the fascia at all. Did you read through the rest of that thread? I had lots of pics in there.
