wanna sell a set of those tires lol... And who did your tune?

 

[Gabe]

A set for the Shelby and yours?

Yup

wanna sell a set of those tires lol... And who did your tune?

No I don't, lol

The tune is in progress ... the dead spot issue I'm having at the top of the throttle pedal is perplexing/frustrating/pissing everybody involved off.

 

[Mystickeith50]

Gabe did u mess with the screw at all? It shouldn't have to be moved. If u can't get the tune figured out I know who can instantly....lol.

 

[Gabe]

Did not touch that screw.
What/who did you have in mind?

 

[Mystickeith50]

I called the place you PM'd me about, they're apparently not taking any new tune orders right now cuz they have a huge backlog.

So ....

Just ordered a JDM tune, hope to have it tomorrow, but we'll see ..... they're pretty much guaranteeing me that I'm gonna be happy

 

[Gabe]

JDM tune just arrived via e-mail, already loaded it and the throttle issue is FIXED !!!!

I can't believe how stock-like the throttle pedal feels now!!

Only thing that sucks is that in a few minutes I'm leaving for North Carolina to bring a car to my girlfriend's son that's in the Army down there ... flying back tomorrow. I know which car we're taking to dinner tomorrow night

Nice thread and awesome car. How do you like the aeroforce wide band gauge. I have a base 2014 gt and would like a wide band gauge been looking at that one.

Also would love to see some video of car in action.

Thanks and thanks

I like it actually quite a bit, just not all that happy with the left vent location. To see it I have to move my head to the left and look down, not easy to do while you're "moving fast", lol


This is the first dyno pull, yielded numbers of 560 RWHP and 456 RWTQ.
Already looking into the next smaller pulley, the one I should've gotten from the get-go ... JDM is telling me the same tune with that smaller pulley will net me another 20 hp and 30 tq ... I want that

 

[freddie07]

LOL I love that laugh at the end of that video. Is an happy but evil laugh at the same time

Good numbers bro!!

 

[Surfstang2020]

Not bad nice man

 

[fullthrtle]

Nice numbers, more horsepower than the girlfriend's 500. So when are you guys gonna race.

dont hear much of a whine off that supercharger. The 13-14 gt500 superchargers are quiet also...

I'd say that you are on the edge of useable street power. 560rwhp makes for a very fast car. The Whipple is so much fun on the street with it's instant torque. Should be fun.

Oh, she's fun alright ... the pull she's got now is intoxicating, but it just made me want even more.
I have plenty of traction with the 275mm Continental DWS's, which surprises me, I thought I was gonna have a much worse wheelspin issue, but it's very manageable ...

I really want 500 rwtq though, and would love 600 rwhp, if only for bragging rights, lol

That custom decklid is really a nice touch on a badass car altogether. Badass sound too

Thanks man ... it's raining hard around here today but I'm still gonna take her for some errands a bit later on ...

 

[Gabe]

Finally got off my butt and installed the CHE relocation brackets and Steeda no-logo billet aluminum rear lower control arms.

Still have the Steeda "for lowered cars" upper control arm and the CHE axle brace to install, but this was a great start.

The "before" (BMR stuff):

And the "after":

And the main reason I didn't try to install the axle brace today:

Yes, the standard bracket for the back of the diff won't fit on the finned cover.

CHE has me covered though, they're sending me a different bracket, just for the finned-cover cars.
