Taxman's 07 GT Convertible build thread

What was the temp outside when you dyno'd? I was at 470 at 95 degrees. The colder weather is what improved my numbers. The intake did ad 30 hp when I installed it tho.

Spent the day working on the car. Swapped out my serpentine belt as the old one had started chirping. That was a real bitch. Had to take off the supercharger head unit to swap belts. I added a smaller idler pulley to take some tension off the best after adding the Roush tensioner, which had the belt just a little too tight. I also installed some chrome battery terminals that have a digital display of the amperage. After that, I replaced a lug stud that I had stripped last time I swapped my drag radials at the track.

While doing this, I found a coolant leak and I thought I fixed it, but it appears to be leaking again, so I'll be tearing it apart tomorrow again.

Anyway, here's a few pics of the stuff I did today.

Drives haft still hasn't made it yet. UPS has lost the package and I had to initiate a tracer to find it.

I'd never seen one before. Ran across it on accident while looking for something else... had to have it.

Step one of my Saleen rear fascia install:

Removed the spoiler, welded up the holes and got it all sanded and primered up.

It's going to look great without the spoiler.
