Taxman's 07 GT Convertible build thread

[05roush0090]

I'm glad your enjoying it as much as I did! You did run a 3.48" pulley again correct? I really thought you would had better numbers also with 10psi. It is ok though. At least you know your not stressing the motor too bad with a good tune backing you up.

 

[05roush0090]

In for the cliff notes, but is your v3 the non intercooled version? If so, mind telling me where you picked it up from?

I originally got it from brenspeed non cooled. After a year I then picked up the Paxton air to air kit to add to it. I think brenspeed still sells them as non cooled kits if you were looking for a place to pick one up.

3.48? I ran the 3.6 and made over 500. I though with those numbers he would be using the 3.8

Yeah Juco but you had cams and an intake and it was December. My numbers would've been higher in the cold too. I don't know why it was so low. Sean was having difficulty tuning the BBK throttle body. Maybe that's an issue. I've swapped out. I may have him tweak it a little now.

Have you started on that Saleen rear lip section yet?

 

[keoni1984]

Pics with the FRPP TB (Ooooo, shiney!)? Are you planning on forged internals and billet oil pump/gears?

Yeah I got the whole bumper. I bought a plastic welder to fill in the inset lettering, but it's on back order.

Here's one

I'm not sure where I'm gonna go with it next. I've got a couple of more little things and then I'll call this stage complete and start planning what I'm going to do next. I imagine I will go with forged internals next year and an upgraded brake set up too. Just gotta give it some thought.

So the TB fixed the issue?

Solved it and then some. The throttle response is so smooth now. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Can't make it tonight buddy. I'm going to the Rangers game. Holler at me next time though.

 

[Jucostud]

Sure thing... We do it every week. It's Steve's aka kimura's meet

 

[Taxman]

Where is that at? Meaning what city?

 

[Jucostud]

I think that corner is technically plano... I think the other side of goerge bush is dallas.

3.6 is a 10 psi pulley for vortechs air to water cooler. 3.48" comes with the Paxton air to air as it has alot of tubing and a huge intercooler to go through so it produces 10 psi after all that with the 3.48.

 

[05roush0090]

If the tb was giving the tuner problems I would be strapping it back on the dyno to see what he can do now with the new tb

Here's some good pics of how it looks now with the new interior and the Vortech:
