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

[GallopingFord]

Awesome!!

Kenne Bell BAP would be best option from all my research, and you're gonna want bigger injectors than '13-'14 GT500 ones, we're almost maxing ours at about 95% duty cycle ... should probably just go ahead and splurge for some ID1000's

Are you using a BAP? I'm looking at the VMP just because of plug and play.

On the Shelby? Not yet but it's at about 94-96% fuel pump duty cycle, and so are the injectors, so if we want more we'll need a BAP and new injectors too

A buddy has a 2008 with a 2.8 Kenne Bell on it and KB included one of their BAPs in with the kit. He probably doesn't really need it since he put down 643/561 with his set-up :/

 

[GallopingFord]

Gotcha, I was reading that the 72# ones without a BAP would be sufficient or a BAP with 47-55# ones would be sufficient with a 2.3L TVS, TB, 123mm CAI and a 2.5" pulley.

Either way I'll keep an eye out for a set of 72#'s

Pulled the whip out. Nice cool 30-40 degree weather is my favorite for driving, regardless of poor traction.

May end up keeping the AirLift system if it doesn't sell soon - I'm tired of the slew of low ballers and kids who want payment plans.

Car looks great Cam!


I'll buy the airlift for $500, but I can only afford $50 a month for the next 10 months. Is that cool?

I'll give you $501.73 cash!!!!!!

I am glad you seem to have decided to keep the bullet, it is one of my favorite cars on this site.

 

[GallopingFord]

Thanks and me too. It was hard to keep owning this car when I wasn't really done with it, but still had a wish-list for my 2013. Getting rid of the GT500 made it easier to figure out what I really wanted for this car.

ditto!

Toying with the idea of removing the EGR all together while having the blower ported. Not too much to gain, except cleaning up that ugly side of the blower and removing the EGR tube out of the way before I go to long tubes.

Today I finally sold the Airlift locally, so I'll be picking up some more pieces as I move along.

Dammit...I got my AirLift cuz of you...was hoping to see it on the Bullitt. Still really appreciate all the help you were with my install; and hope you bring the Bullitt to AM next year.

 

[GallopingFord]

Sorry to disappoint, but the Bullitt will definitely be at AM next year, sporting a new look.

 

[GallopingFord]

AM is having a clearance sale on Corsa Mufflers for 05-10 cars today, so I lucked out big time on a set of sports with black tips. I like the Borla's but the sound hasn't left me 100% satisfied, and I like the cackle of the Corsas. Deciding on swapping to an X too.

 

[GallopingFord]

BPS Camshafts and BPS Fuel Rails ordered! With 20% off anything BPS related on their website, that is too good of a deal to pass up.

Also took some pictures of the new roof

 

[i am ryan]

Way too cool, sir. I'm assuming that a rollover or a crushed roof is typically a total loss, so in your case what all is involved with fitting the new roof on? I'm assuming the whole structure is somewhat unique? Any idea of what kind of cost you're looking at?

A local salvage yard in TN posted a V6 that looks to have a glass roof so now I'm curious. Feel free to answer as much or as little of those questions as you see fit.

 

[GallopingFord]

The roof structure on a Mustang with the glass roof versus one without it is the same. It's just that the glass portion replaces the roof skin. I'm glad I found a roof portion so I'm able to dissect it and see exactly how it was assembled from Ford so it helps us install it.

We will start with dismantling the interior trim, and headliner and after that we will cut the roof skin off the car. Not sure of the time investment/cost but I'm sure it's more than the $1995 it costs from the factory in 2009-2014 lol. This roof structure I purchased for $800 off a Mustang salvage specialist.

 

[retfr8flyr]

Cam, did you get the special trim pieces that go with it or are you going to fabricate something?

 

[GallopingFord]

I have all the pieces to go with it. The front trim piece was scratched that goes in front of the glass on the roof. If I can't fix it then I'll just buy a new piece, the parts are still available from Ford.

Opened up my new Corsa mufflers today. Glad that the black diamond finish is available on the earlier S197's - they looked super sexy on my GT500.

Awesome....great choice

 

[GallopingFord]

So.... may just end up dropping the engine for the cams and do headers at the same time. I don't have an ETA on the blower at the moment, but the cams should be here next month.

I'm figuring that if I plan to headers anyways and doing cams in the car will be a PITA since I may actually just take a couple weekends off to do it.

 

[GallopingFord]

New year, new purchases... Just placed my order for 2" American Racing Headers w/ OR X pipe.

So far this is the breakdown on power:

2.3L Trinity TVS w/ Porting using 2.5" Pulley
EGR Delete
Bullet Racing Camshafts
ARH 2" LT's w/ O/R X + Corsa Sport Mufflers
55lbs Injectors w/ VMP BAP
Cobra Jet 123mm Intake
Cobra Jet 65mm TB
