Nice vids! What was the fastest time you hit on the strip with the S2K?

High 9's on drag radials.

Pretty interesting thread, these guys are running 15psi safely on the 5.0, stock internals, 700+ whp, holy fvck this car is full of nothing but potential. And power.

I think calling that safe might be a stretch. Sure it will probably last a while but I would think the stock bottom end would eventually fail. I like to think if Ford will warranty their 525whp kit that is safe, but since they don't warranty the 625whp kit my guess is 700+ wouldn't really be safe. At least in the eyes of Ford.

Have you ordered your kit yet? I go back and forth on wanting one but I think I've decided not to as long as this car is my daily driver. A couple guys that come to our local sports car shows are putting down some nice numbers with bolt ons. One has 420 whp with the Steeda CAI, tune, and Flowmaster cat-back. The other is putting down 430 with CAI/tune/catback plus the Boss manifold.

I have the Steeda CAI, Bama SCT tune, FRPP X pipe and FRPP Sport axle-back which should put me somewhere around 410-415 whp which feels pretty nice. I'm not really hurting for anymore power right now. I might throw the Boss manifold on later and call it a day power wise. Maybe I'd go FI later down the road when I pick up a real DD. Right now I want to do a few appearance mods and some suspension stuff. I am going to need to replace the stock Pirelli PZeros later this summer as well. Oh, I also want the Barton shifter and bracket.

How's yours going along?

Oh, are you running a JLT Oil Separator yet?

:icon18: sorry, the edit just fits the avatar.

Dude, in a few years when you pick up a DD, I bet your Stang's gonna be a monster. Can't wait.:yum:

:bowrofl:

We'll see how long I keep it. The gf wants a next generation convertible 5.0 to replace her Benz and I want a Porsche. I really like this car and could definitely get behind the idea of turning it into a streetable track car while having a 911 to drive on the daily. :tup:

That would be nice :tup:

I'm holding off on the supercharger for now, I have the funds set aside already, but i'm sitting back and watching how everyone elses builds are going to see whether or not i'm going to go through with it. So far i've got the JLT CAI/Bama 93 race tune with the Lethal catless H-pipe and Magnaflow pipes (its god awful loud). I decided against the Boss manifold because tests have shown a decent drop in low end torque, while gaining a decent top end, I NEED low end grunt :tup: My current setup w/ tune is making 417whp and 404 ft/lbs SAE corrected and its enough for me currently, gotta admit though, my 3rd and 4th gears are feeling weak to me, looks like I might have to upgrade to a 3.73. My back tires are bald, i'm going to be ordering the GT500 wheels wrapped in Nitto 265 wide NT05's from Late Model Restoration.

I considered the Barton SS (canceled my order), however, recent reviews are claiming that its a clunky shifter and hard to get in reverse, I think the factory is bad enough, dont think it'd be good for daily driven use, if i'd get one, it would probably be the Steeda.

I plan on attacking the ring like a mad man when I get to Germany in July, so suspension is going to be a must, probably going to go with a Steeda street/track pack. Also, depending whether or not I can get on a deployment, the GT350 is looking mighty tasty to me:yum:

m4a1mustang 05-03-2011 04:28 PM

You should give Sam Strano a call over at stranoparts.com for suspension stuff. He will totally set you up with what you need. I am planning on doing Steeda Sport springs and Koni adjustables but I'm just waiting on the Koni's to get off backorder.
