ok, i've only put 9k miles on the clock, had the car since right before thanksgiving (yes, a lot of miles, but i do a lot of traveling)

my current mods are:

dejon intake
dejon charge piping (hot and cold)
hks ssq bov
tune
hahn modpipe (running catless) and catback exhaust


what else is left to do? i know i can upgrade the intercooler, BUT i usually don't get any heat soak, and according to dyno sheets, my car still gains hp after each pull... what other performance is to be had? i know meth and nitrous, but i don't want to fool w/ that as of yet


i want to keep the stock turbo for the time being, and plan on doing suspension mods later on... am i missing any other power adding bolt ons? or have i hit the limit so far

 

none that i can think of in terms of bolt ons

 

umm mabe headers?

do they even have headers for the SS/TC

 

I have never heard of one being made or even disscussed.

The stock headers are going to be fine for anything a SS/TC wants to do. We benifit from the high exhaust gas velocity our headers provide for the turbo. No need to change it.

I think you have done all the easy mods.

 

^^ phail.... it's an exhaust manifold for the turbo...

and no, they don't make any

idk, i think i'm stuck till someone decided to do an intake manifold, or tweak the tune a bit higher

 

did you do something to your wheels or is it just the picture?

 

just the pic

 

well when your at the track the ic is gonna make a little differance but the biggest differance is in road racing

 

next step is to give it to me.

 

But what... get the intercooler. Hahn/dejon ic's have less pressure drop than the stock one, flow better than the stock one and the turbo will run at lower psi due to the lower pressure drop.

 

Rotated trans mount from OTT

And thats about it for easy bolt on's...Once your at your lvl's of 300+ WHP the only way to really start gaining is getting rid of the K04, and going larger

 

i still feel like there's more hidden potential w/ the stock snail... if indeed my car is over 300 hp, than the clutch must be able to withstand it, bc i've had no prob's at all w/ it... w/ this being a new platform (yes i know the lnf has been around for a while) i don't think the stock set up has been given much thought...

 

no one has any ideas?

 

Have you heard about/looked into the Compressor Wheel upgrade?????

 

the headers arent restrictive unless you get a bigger turbo. And i guess you can call them headers, i normally refer to them as turbo manifold.

 

This is off topic, but I see your stationed at Fort Bragg. Do you know Brandon Schoenwetter? He drives a red Mach 1 Mustang. Skinny, has a few tattoos..... Ring any bells?

get an intercooler, its just colder air to your engine.


if i were you id do like a rear sway bar or sumthing to lock up the car in handling even though you said you werent getting handling mods until later.

 

light weight flywheel. light weight pulleys. different blow off valve. possible things. but thats all i could think of

 

i know a couple ppl that drive mach 1's

is he in that mustang club that always rides around?

i've been looking into lightweight pulleys, but am kinda skeptical so far...

i think i'm gonna do some suspension mods, then work on the appearance, starting w/ some headlights

 

Drew the white seats are slowing you down! (inside joke)

 

The headlights are more functional than appearance on these cars IMHO. The stock headlights suck badly even with HID they are barely adequate.

 

i want the ccfl headlights

those are pure sex, match that w/ a 10000k hid kit

 

If you want looks and do not need your headlight that badly at night ie you live in a city 10000K or 8000K are cool looking, but if you want good light output go with 5000K or 4300K
