What have you done to your mustang today?

[ford20]

All new BMR suspension this past week. I also got the car re-tuned and not only made more power (Mustang Dyno versus the Dynojet), but also now drives close to OE.

On the old tune, the car was real rough below 2k RPM and would not start on a cold start. Now I have OE drive-ability with Hot Rod Cams and a KB 2.6 @ 11 psi. This along with the mono-blade TB made it a real challenge to tune perfectly. He worked on it over a week to make every possible. adjustment, I could not be happier!

MUSTANG DYNO: Realspeed Automotive, Long Island NY
Pump gas Baseline tune : 452HP 430 TQ
Finished : 502 / 470

Previous tune on DYNOJET via old tuner (shall remain unnamed)
Pump gas :472/ 430
Race gas : 499.6 /460

In the spring, I will go back and add a race tune, a few more degrees of timing may add 15-20 more horse hopefully. Yes I know the pretzel rods are screaming bloody murder- forged short block in the works.

Bottom line:

If you are on LI and looking for a professional tuner with an engineering mind, look no further. I highly recommend Dan Carlson @ Realspeed . Don't waste your money anywhere else, ask me how I know!!!

Suspension details:

BMR - K member, A arms, radiator support UCA, UCA mounting bracket, relocation brackets for previous installed Steeda LCA's.

Strange struts, up front, Viking double adjustable out back, BMR street springs lowered 1.5"

Kelly, thanks!!!! all the BMR and Viking stuff that Rob and Matt ordered from Realspeed on LI was mine...

DSS 3.5" aluminum DS with loop

I have a bunch of pics but can't seem to load them via Tapatalk WTF.

Was the old tuner on LI as well?

Ive got a set of lethal over axle pipes so I wont have resonators. Im still a bit worried they will be too quiet for my taste but Ill live with it. Im in this awkward stage between being a kid with a loud obnoxious car, and being a civilized adult. Hopefully these work out lol. Ive got muffler deletes on now with stock resonators and the drone at 65 is absurd.

I think you'll be fine with the GT5hunneds!!!

Video ASAP!

The best sounding coyote exhaust I have ever heard in person is cat delete GT500's with M80's in place of the horrible barely more than 2 1/8" ID stock resonators. Real deep and clean no popping or crackling.

Factory resonator....WTF?^^^

I'm in the same place, except I don't really care who thinks I'm not an adult because of my car. I cat deletes and 13-14 gt500's, and I love it under WOT, but could stand for it to be a tiny bit quieter while driving in traffic. I certainly get attention in stop & go when I have to lift off the throttle in gear. More noise then than anywhere else.

Popping can also be from a tune. My popping is from the tune and is hilarious to me. I'll see if I can get a video one of these days.

Probably but in this case the only change was m80's in place of factory resonators. Popping went away with the m80. I just don't understand why they put such tiny exhaust on those cars. The mid pipe shrinks way down at one point also.

Wow im glad im ditching the resonators then.

m-5300-q series CJ springs? They work well at the track. Any other suspension mods?

Really like what you did with your car lindertw! I thinks its inspired more than a few people on the forums to sort the suspension out before doing the typical power mods.

So far the car has:
Steeda upper and lower control arms
Steeda adj panhard bar
Ford Racing relocation brackets
Front sway bar delete/ radiator mount

Planning on doing some strange single adjustable shocks and 4.10's when money permits. Engine is bone stock for the moment.

Got it out of the garage and burned through some fuel. 12 pounds is awesome! Trying to find some time to pull my motor for the forged bits I have in the garage and the 3.25" pulley

 

[XJCasper]

Did the same thing today, I have been doing with my baby for the last few months. Pulled her out of the driveway and drove like I stole it....

Dang she sounds good.

Only reasons I really get crazy behind the wheel:
To hear the exhaust. Or someone driving around me does something inappropriate.

Nice, painted or vinyl? It's time to re-stripe my car and I am trying to find the best place to get the vinyl from. Thinking I am going to go with BMC.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

no

 

[AlbertD]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

no

LOL

I originally took them off because they were in bad shape when I bought the car (torn, nicks, etc...) and well I have always been a huge fan of the clean look. I love the car as is, but I also like stripes on Shelbys. I'm torn, lol.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No stripes

 

[AlbertD]

Well good thing I have you guys here to slap me around when I start drifting. Went to look at the mystichrome GT500 and some other nicely done stripe deletes... yeah, maybe I just need some nice wheels instead.

 

[Doug M]

Stripes are sweet. Don't listen to them

 

[Johnf78]

Hands in the air and step away from the stripes!!!!

 

[Gabe]

What color stripes are you contemplating?

 

[AlbertD]

Haha, thanks Doug. The only car I like stripes on are the Shelbys and well...

Hands in the air and step away from the stripes!!!!

Lol, I know I know. I will let it marinate for a while and see what happens

What color stripes are you contemplating?

The traditional white. I think it would look nice as a contrast to the black accents already done to the car. Tungsten is a close second.
