Did some new stuff recently, have a couple more things in mind too

Bought some Gen4 projectors. Despite reading the lens cracking issues, I still think these look the best so **** it lol. Ill swap the stock lenses to them and paint the chrome parts inside if it comes to that


(Also bought some Smoked Tails, just haven't installed them yet)


Then I picked up a set of Nitto NT05's, going to get them mounted up after work. Ill take pics if you want but not much to see there lol.

Also grabbed a HKS EVC-S Boost Controller since HPT definitely gave up on teh LNF crowd (just getting that feeling, their posts are VERY short and to the point with us )


(It's TINY lol)




Went to the dyno last week, lil mishap which ended up making me drive about 4 hrs before I dyno'd the car. Then we forgot to start the fan :facepalm: So the first 2 runs were weird on teh dyno. Only got 1 good one in before I had to pull the car off the dyno. Here's the latest graph at 22psi:


(328/386) (crappy tach signal again for some reason, that's why there is breaks in it)

Picked up a WOT Box with the Launch Control function only. Stock LC at 4500-5K is just worthless for me, so I have it set to 3K on the N2MB Box and Im loving it!



A pic of the engine bay, notice all wiring is tucked into the harnesses and clean (bought the Hahn CAI used recently too, Thanks Black08SSTC!)


(Yes, the Injen CP is wrapped. You can actually grab it now after a WOT run, so Im sure it helps with radiating heat )


And lastly, here is a vid from my trek home from Ohio and meeting BBG. I was getting REALLY tired, had to do some pulls and why not vid them right? You will notice a OH **** right at the end...didn't realize the road turned at the end of that straight and I was MOVING lol

Edit: forgot to add the vid, DOH! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CCcpcq-frQ



Future plans:
MPx Intercooler
Possibly an Exhaust
CF Hood and Trunk, Black out the roof

 

You get much torque steer with that thing?

 

nice byt looks good, no link for vid...

 

Awaits link to vid

 

YES lol. It's fun tho

 

Very nice. I'll be seeing you shortly for a tune. Didn't you already have smoked tails?

 

I have Lamin-X tinted tails now. They came out kinda meh the first time, Wanted/Matt kept busting my ***** so I redid them. Now they came out 10x worse LOL! The tinted tails on ebay were like $80 shipped, well worth it. The effort to peel that **** off, then clean the lights, then reinstall tint...forget it! done with it LOL!

 

i see you were at performance specialities

I used to use that place to dyno my ls1 camaro all the time

does ray still own it?

 

I got black Gen 1 projectors and lightly smoked LED Tailights for a total of $240 shipped for my car about 1 month ago. I like em a lot especially the headlights they make my car look so much meaner.

 

Im not sure if that was his name or not. He was talking like he had been there forever so prolly the same guy. They do a LOT of Mustang stuff there.

Projected HP/TQ when all said and done

 

I got ya. The Lamin x stuff never did it for me. I always wanted it darker. VHT and some clearcoat does wonders.

 

yeah thats ray

he is a diehard ford guy, so he really loved my ls1 in there every week!

I know that dyno was always a bit on the low side for readings however.

 

Really? I dyno'd there the first time, then went to Tillman and the numbers were VERY close to each other! Doesn't mean both aren't low I guess lol.


Yea, that guy is really cool tho. His young slave working there has a built up Mustang that he drags...I put down more whp AND wtq then him and the boss was busting his ***** hardcore lol

 

nice man.. so whens the island trip to see how fast your car really is?

 

my camaro always was low it seemded for my mods on that dyno, but i used it from day one as a baseline and after all my mods so it really gave me my real gains.

the funny part is my ls1 had longtubes, 580/590 cam/ported TEA 5.3 heads, etc and the best tq i put down on that dyno was like 375, your car puts down more peak tq than my ls1

how funny is that

 

Well, do the tails again dammit!

Next is the headlight.

 

I went a ton last year, best ET to date was a 12.99, Best trap is 115.4.

I plan on going this Friday night, you going? Or do you only go down for the family night deal?

 

i didnt know you could use a boost controller on these through hpt...thats the first ive seen actually.

 

It has nothing to do really with HPT. Anyone could run one on their car. Turning it up to 25psi on the stock tune, gonna have a bad day tho LOL...

 

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME!

 

Pizza...French Fry....Pizza lol


Hey lil dude youve got some crap on above your lip.. That's my face sir! lol

 

how hard was it to put in the guages...was looking to buy some in the near future

 

nice!

cant be done, thou its the same shape, it will not seat correctly...been there.

 

^^ really??? That's good to know. Nothing a little "customization" can't fix.

 

i usually go down on fridays my car will be down there in 2-3 weeks basically next time I see my gf the sc goes back on.. I haven't decided if i want to put the 2.95 pulley back on or drop down to a my 2.55 lol

i want to go down on a wednesday for family night.. 15 bux and free food is WIN lol last year my best was 14.3 at 103 on a blown suspension 2.422 60' lol this year.. well i might skip the 13's if i go with the 2.55 on i never went with the 2.95 on, i only went with my 3.2 on which is what I posted those dyno numbers in my sig I only made like 30 passes last year.. and like 20 of them were NA lol once i got boosted and fixed my suspension it would rain everytime i could go lol
