1st real mod I did was headers⦠I do NOT trust š± on boosted cars.
your dealer sounds like they just do not want to do them.
a local mustang shop to me has installed a few whipple kits⦠on a car with stock exhaust it dynoād 727 rwhp (that car had a CF driveshaft)
the one they just did had...
Iām sure Iām wrong but to my casual observer eyeā¦
It didnāt ālookā fast⦠it looked slow and clunky.
But I hope it breaks all the records and my eyes are wrong.
Iāve seen S550s at the track multiple times as me, and theyāve been 3-4 tenths slower both times now.
Saturday was a perfect example, there was a stock GTpp running 12.3s at 113, the s550 GT was running 12.6s at 111. And the s550 claimed it had a tune for 93 š¤·āāļø
Again and again
Whatās strange is he came from a foxbody background⦠he should be loving the 2024 and using all the old school hot rod tricks.
Butā¦acts like itās appalling to run fuel blends and trick sensors etcā¦
This shit goes back to locked out timing and jack ing up fuel pressure, or bigger injectors with...
1. My car gained over 4 MPH in the 1/4⦠so every bit of roughly 40 HP gain avg through the upper rpm band.
2. Sound isnāt too much louder⦠quiet works excellent still⦠stock resonator/catback.
I could assume a resonator delete would make me deaf.
3. Non emissions state.
For anyone thatās interested⦠full tank fyi.
Thatās alot lighter than I expected, pleasantly surprised!
All this 4100 lb talk seems misplaced from the s550 crowd
Recapā¦.on the 2nd run I tried manually shifting to hold gears longer⦠nosed over in 5th at the trap and killed MPH.
Tried foot braking off the line, didnāt really help⦠the car did get quicker as I got more passes in⦠people always think ālet it cool downā but these coyotes like some heat in...
Ok data dump⦠also shoutout to @JimC super nice member and he sold me the rears/drag radials for a great deal, thanks š
Recap: prior all stock best was 12.0 @ 117 in 700ft D/A⦠all stock last November
FF to today⦠D/A of 2365 (terrible)
I installed longtube headers, stock resonator and...
Smoke a dozen T5s at 3-400hp. Youāll praise the mt82s ability to hold power and high rpm
also the tremec is overrated, people act like itās a T56 viper spec or somethingā¦
Eh⦠break 1st⦠then replace.. especially at 2500 a pop.
itās not a stick car⦠stick cars on drag radials that get into nasty wheel hop possibly may break an axle under certain conditions.
10r80 cars with fluid converters tend to have far fewer issues.
