Well, good bye 2011 5.0

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Do you have any tips to really clean and protect the paint (wax ect....) as it will sit over the whole winter and I will have plenty of time to do it. I'm not really down for wet sanding it though, I'm not that brave yet.

I sent you a write up Seer did for me. It might save him some time, lol. Its a lot of shit.

Bullshit. The Coyote has been a fantastic motor with very few actual production issues. 95%+ of the issues owners had were self induced via aftermarket tunes. On the other hand, GM's LS3/L99 motors have suffered a greater % of failure due to lifters and oil pumps. Those motors have been around longer than the new 5.0.

You sir have created a fail post.

He always does....

I may have updated that, but thats good enough I guess. jewc.

I am not sure if I remembered to talk about Tar-X and it's awesomeness.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

HAHA yeah bro i used it the other day. Awesome stuff. Ive been kicked out of the car wash twice for being there too long. 2 bucket method and grit guards, lol. I always look at the write up because i feel like ive missed something.

Ask away. I have a buddy who has a 2012. We did an extensive amount of stuff from the day we got the cars (me 4 months him 2) just getting ready for the NMRA finals here in Bowling Green. If the 2.9 doesn't sell I'm going to put a 10% OD pulley on it add more fuel pump, use the 3.25" or 3" for the street, 2.85 (I can't remember the exact size but it's the smallest pulley they make) for a race gas tune and call it a day. I've been talking to Nitro Dave about a custom setup with spray bars actually placed inside the manifold, along with a nano setup. Or better yet I have a buddy here that is a custom turbo fabricator. He's been the "it" guy in the LS world for years. He wants to make me a twin turbo setup. I showed him a pic of the Shelby Code Red. Told him I wanted the snails up top so I can see them, (I'm not spending that kind of money to put them under the car) he said DONE. He wants to put them behind the grill, extensive fabrication here but he said it can be done. I've seen a lot of his work and I cant believe where and how he does it but he does. All I know is if he cant bend it he will cut and weld it. I really like the ideas of the turbos but I like my Twin Screw SC too, so I'm torn right now.

BTW my next mods are an MGW shifter, bigger fuel pumps, lowering springs, Weld RT-S wheels for the track, and I'm sending my factory wheels off to be widened by 1" to use Nitto NT-05Rs. All of this to be done and ready by March/April just in time for the track to open up with some good weather and plenty of practice for another Terminator/GT500 shoot out.

I'd love to buy a whipple 2.9, but have holiday stuff. I'm really looking for the basic stuff, would love to get it into the 10s really quickly though.

Suspension stuff im ok on. I have an SVTPP setup sitting here, debating on keeping it or selling it, have it for sale right now. Going to do LCA's and relo's obviously.

Just not sure if i want to waste the cash on 2.59 pulley and the puller etc,

then I ask myself.. why not a 3.4?

No need to get out of control!

Unless you want to go 4.0!

 

[Synister500]

2.9 is more than enough to blow the stock motor 25 psi woooo. 3.4 or 4.0 new hood or new k member and front suspention. Not to mention new internals and much much more! Ask Rodfarva how it turned out for him. Blown head gasket ruined his day, of course that was 30+ psi haha. If I get the 4.0 I have an idea how I'm going to acomidate it. I think it would be cool as shit to have it sticking out of the stock hood, so I'm going to do a cut out for it if possible LOL.

Nice ride and i like the color combo. I am jealous

I think right now, its going to be a 2.59, offroad exhaust, and the FRPP resonator/intake delete.

I don't see any value in a cai uneless going over 14-15psi at the moment. Unless thats wrong someone chime in.

Possibly a blower port too, but thats money that can go into a whipple 2.9.

What does it take to move these into the 10s?
