Project Large Caliber - Cam's NEW 2009 Bullitt Build Thread

That's pretty damn nice! I would love one of those.

So if you haven't saw, Shelby fucked me over good with how they shipped my TVS. Sending it back and getting my money refunded. With that bad taste left in my mouth, I'm just going to get the exhaust how I want and get this drivability issue fixed.

I'm pretty much at the point where I have zero time to do this myself I am going to send the car to a shop.

 

[Rasmus]

Sorry to see that, Cam. Not surprised, though. Those people are dingbats, and have been for a while.

 

[GallopingFord]

Yeah, I'll be sending it all off tomorrow.

Got the car VA inspected today and figured out what the terrible sound was when I was turning - the bolt that was inserted into the relay box for the HID lights was too large and was contacting the strut when the spring coil turned. Now that is fixed. Also did an alignment. For the time being the alignment will be sufficient, but I need to invest in some camber plates to get both sides good.

In an effort to continue the hunt for what the hell is causing the problems with the car - I ordered 8 new plugs and an entirely new set of stock coil packs.

Trying to score some LT's with a gutted cat midpipe too. I keep going back and forth but I'd rather do LT's than a blower at the moment.

Once I figure all this shit out, I cannot wait since I'll send the car to the body shop and get everything fixed up good.

Hopefully you ordered the FRPP coil kit. Damn good price for all 8 coils.

I still vote blower.

 

[GallopingFord]

I did. As cool as the yellow accels and red msd's look, M-12029-4V kit is the way to go and I ordered the SP-471's.

I vote blower too, but man that tvs left a bad taste in my mouth.

For long tubes.... 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" ... is it really that big of a difference if I don't plan on anything more than 800hp?

 

[Surfstang2020]

Sorry about the TVS Cam maybe time for a whipple instead ?

 

[Rasmus]

For long tubes.... 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" ... is it really that big of a difference if I don't plan on anything more than 800hp?

I don't think so. I remember seeing some comparisons between 3/4 and 7/8, and what little difference was there could have been attributed to several different things.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

On my 3v I went 1 7/8, I think there was a pretty good flow difference at 650+ esp being FI.

 

[GallopingFord]

Are 07-10 GT500 headers different from 11-up? There is a set for sale on SVTP from a 2011 GT500 but I can't remember if they are different?

 

[Gabe]

Check with the manufacturer?

 

[GallopingFord]

I called, just voicemail. Waiting for call back. It's for American Racing Headers.

Well according to their website it is two different part numbers... Guess I was probably wrong

 

[GallopingFord]

I know the mid pipes are different because they are 2.5" for 07-10 and then 2.75" 11 up I just to see for the headers.

If they're different, I don't know what's different about them. I am running 2" ARH's that were on a '12 before I got them. No problems here. They were nearly identical to the 1 7/8" I had before them.

 

[GallopingFord]

This is 1 3/4" the guy has the matching mid too for 2.5" which is a 07/09 size. Not sure if it's worth seeing if it works.

I wouldn't go less than 1 7/8". I don't have any data to support that suggestion, but all the guys making the big numbers, are running that size. You're always going to wonder if you left HP on the table by going smaller.

 

[GallopingFord]

That's what I've been thinking too. I'm just sitting idle until I figure out my other issue.

 

[GallopingFord]

Sam, is stock gap on a 07-09 GT500 .044" ? I'm about to change my plugs and coils tonight at home.
