Nice car!

[Phuck Phace]

Nice wheels!

[Grandpa]

It's amazing what a set of wheels and a drop will do for a car. Looks great!

[Doug1227]

Thanks! It's kinda hard to be unique with these cars as it seems everyone's going crazy modding them. I wanted to do something a little different, but I'm sure there's quite a few just like it. A lot of guys remove the CS side stripe, but on the black I really like it. It's kind of a "ghost" stripe since it's flat black.

I agree with the ghost aspect. Makes your car very unique.

[DirtyD]

Car looks great, Doug! What kit did you use for the drop?

[Doug1227]

There was a firesale on DUB/Eibach Pro/FRPP K springs a while back on Ebay and I got them for I think $125. They weren't the exact springs I wanted, but I figured I'd try them out for the price. They didn't drop it as much as I'd like, so I've removed the isolaters in the rear, but now I can hear a little rear end NVH, so I'll probably put them back in. Eventually I want to do Koni STR.T's, GT500 mounts, an Adj panhard and I might swap out the springs for Sportlines.

I just did the BMR Panhard and the Sportline springs. It's an awesome ride and looks really good. Messing with those mounts wasn't alot of fun, but it worked out.

Does one of your wheels stick out being lowered without the panhard?

[OG Fox]

adjustable panhard is a must when lowering, even with the slight drop of the pro kit it leans to one side.

[Midnight11]

sweet stang! my friend has those same wheels just in black

[Doug1227]

Yeah, one side is out about 1-/4-1/2" vs. the other. I'm gonna change the struts out next, so I figured I'd do it all at once...

That makes sense. I didn't do the struts/shocks and I was worried as hell about the ride being crappy. LOL, rides like stock still without all he floating around. :D

[Doug1227]

I got a new camera this week, so I was playing around today with it. These are pretty much the same "poses" as above, but with the new camera. The only change to the car is I removed the running pony from the CS front grill.

[Phuck Phace]

Nice, looks better without the horse.

[Doug1227]

Got a wild hair this week and ordered a buncha goodies for the Mustang. Coming this/next week:

GT500 Strut Mounts
Koni Yellow Adjustable Struts and Shocks
Stallion Adjustable Panhard Bar
Brembo Takeoff Calipers/Rotors/Pads from a '13
Infinity 5x7's for the doors
Ignition Flip Key off of Ebay

I got the panhard put on tonight and will probably do the shocks/struts/brakes next weekend.

[MidWest281]

awesome. car looks great...I love those rims.

[Doug1227]

Got the Koni's and strut mounts in the mail Friday. Saturday the Infinity's came in. I got them installed today. What a difference! I can't believe how light and crappy the stock 5x7's are. I recommend this to ANYONE with ears! Probably won't do the struts until maybe next weekend.

Nice. Been thinking about doing the same thing.

[Doug1227]

I bought Infinity's off of Amazon. They're 6832cf's. I got them plus the wiring adapters that allow you to plug into the factory connector for around $75 TOTAL. I thought that was a pretty good deal and they sound great!

Nice. Been thinking about doing the same thing.

[Doug1227]

Installed the Koni's and GT500 mounts last night. What's everyone setting these at for DD duty? I went full firm, then back one full rotation and it was still a go-kart ride to work this morning! LOL! I'm gonna try full loose on the way home and see what that feels like in contrast. I'm sure the answer will be somewhere in the middle. Ironically, "somewhere in the middle" is where I thought I set them last night! :O

[46Tbird]

I've got Tokicos. They are set by adjusting the screw at the top, seven turns from full hard to full soft.

I set mine to full firm, then back them out five turns on the front and four turns on the rear.

Every car will be set a little different, since vehicle weight, spring rate, wheel weight, and personal preference are all unique. Keep playing with them, you'll get em right. I would think one turn out of full firm is a road course setting. :gr_grin:

[Doug1227]

I set them to FULL soft at lunch today and the car still feels stiffer than stock! LOL! I'm thinking 1/2 a turn from SOFT may be the ticket...I'll keep messing with them.

[Grandpa]

You'll get it figured out and I'm sure it will ride great!

[Doug1227]

Got the Brembos in today. Need to figure out what I'm gonna do to them cosmetically because NOW's the time to do it!

[03MachMe]

I'm in the same boat. Mine are in my garage till I figure out what color I want

[Doug1227]

Ordered a couple more items today. Redline hood struts and some Trufiber carbon fiber coil covers. I was considering having some hydro dipped, but figured I'd just go ahead and get the real deal. These should look sweet with the TVS and CF JLT that I'm planning on installing down the road.

[Grandpa]

Nice! I could have used those struts last night at the track. lol.

[Doug1227]

Hood struts at the track? Why?

[Doug1227]

Installed the hood struts tonight. These are awesome! Removed the hood prop rod as well!

[downtime!]

Installed the hood struts tonight. These are awesome! Removed the hood prop rod as well!First thing I do to any new Stang, still do not understand why they are equipped from the factory with these.

[moor3r]

Love the wheels!

[Doug1227]

Took a few pics of the Trufiber coil covers and the brembos today. Enjoy. You can also barely see the hood strut and no prop rod in the first pic as well.

[Toby]

Those valve covers look tits!!!

[Doug1227]

Thanks. I think they'll look good when there's a big black S/C sitting on top! They're expensive, but I caught them on sale which helped a little.

[PLASMAN]

Very nice

[Doug1227]

I think I'm gonna try and get the Brembo's on this weekend. Just gotta be careful while bleeding them... don't wanna mess up the paint! :)

[Doug1227]

I got the Brembo's on last night, so here are a few pics I snapped.

[Doug1227]

Getting everything lined up for the supercharger install at the end of the month. I got my KB 40A BAP and 80# injectors in the mail yesterday. 2 pulleys and a pulley tool are on the way from KB. A few more odds and ends are on the way (3.5Bar MAP for the Aeroforce) and a vent bezel for it. I need to grab some plugs and that should be most of it.
I got the BAP installed today. From what I've read, the way the returnless setups work is the pressure won't spike with the installation of the BAP like they will on a return system, so I went ahead and installed everything. I'm getting 17.32V at idle, so I guess it's working.
I also picked up some Autozone Duralast CMax Gold pads for the Brembos. They're ceramic and are supposed to be quieter and MUCH cleaner. They're also only $50! I did pick up a LOT of black dust this week which immediately convinced me to try something else. I'll let y'all know how they do.

[pohnjarker]

there's a nice video on youtube comparing the KB 40a bap and a JMS bap...its on an older mustang but the video does show the KB bap losing voltage toward the end.

ride looks good and those shiny gold brembos are pretty badass. looking forward to seeing the completed pics and even more in person. will it be ready for the TS dyno day?

[Doug1227]

Yes. It's scheduled to be tuned the Monday before the TS dyno day. I probably won't dyno it, but will come out in support and to socialize. The KB BAP in my opinion is the original and a very dependable item. There are others out there now, but I think they're pretty much all the same.

haha, brain fart...you're putting on a KB charger so why not match it up with a KB bap

looking forward to meeting you up there and seeing what my car will put down!!

[Doug1227]

I decided to have the inlet manifold on the KB polished, so I'm gonna have a shop in Mesquite do it. Should have it back sometime late this week or early next week.

[Doug1227]

I got the 2 extra pulleys I ordered and the pulley removal tool from KB yesterday. The aeroforce MAP sensor and Roush vent gauge pod came in today. I haven't hooked up the map sensor yet, but I had to rush out there and install the pod and aeroforce though! :) I dig it. I'll probably wait on the map sensor until I hook up the KB so I can make sure I'm tapping the right line for accurate boost readings. I like the vent pod, as I didn't want a bunch of unsightly gauges hanging off the a-pillar. I'll post up some pics this weekend, as if no one knows what they look like! ha!

[Grandpa]

Nice, Doug. I agree on the a pillars. Ive had them on acouple of cars and they canbe a lil annoying at times.

[Doug1227]

Stealthy!

[Phuck Phace]

That Roush pod is a nice piece. I run that and the SOS pillar for everything.

[Doug1227]

I got the intake manifold back from the polisher. It came out pretty good I think!

[Grandpa]

Any updates, Doug? Get that thing on there yet? :)

[Doug1227]

I'm putting it on Thursday- Sunday of next week. Tune on Monday 5/6.

[downtime!]

Looks like we'll be competing for dyno time! LOL! I'm dropping mine off on the 2nd for the clutch work and stuff, and they can't get to the tune until the 6th. I'm leaving on a 3500 mile road trip (drag race in Ohio) on the 12th, so I hope they get it right!

[Stangmaster281]

They did a great job on the polish. What liter kb is that btw?

[Doug1227]

I hope we're not...I was told he was blocking off pretty much the whole day. I think my appt. is at 11AM. Maybe he'll get to yours earier. :) He can transfer that learning curve over to mine! haha!

LOL!

[Doug1227]

You've got a few things as well that get that number up.... long tubes, 6M, etc. I'm hoping to make through the A6 what you do, however, I did pick up a couple smaller pulleys just in case!LOL!

I doubt you'll "need" a smaller pulley, but you might "want" a smaller pulley! More is almost always better. Are you doing the oil pump at the same time?

[Doug1227]

It has a 4-1/8 on it, and I bought a 3-7/8 and a 3-3/4 just in case. I'll be very happy @ 640-650 assuming he feels it's safe. Not doing the oil pump gears now, as I'm just going to go all out and do a built motor next year. Just gotta keep it together for that long. haha.

I don't beat on her too hard usually, but she's about to get some track time on the 17th. Hopefully, she cruises back to Texas under her own power and not on the back of a trailer!

[Doug1227]

Surgery is underway! In summary the KB install manual is 454 line items. I quit tonight on Item #55 which involved removing the front fascia. I'll pick up in the morning! Enjoy!

[Doug1227]

In summary for tonight, the intake tube, airbox, all hoses connecting to it, the intake manifold, fuel rails, etc. were removed. I pulled everything off of the intake manifold I'll reuse. Removed the fuel rails, swapped out the injectors with the new 80's and removed the throttle body from the manifold. The next steps tomorrow are to remove the front fascia and start making mods to accommodate the large intake tube. My goal is to get halfway through by the end of the day tomorrow, which would be for all the cutting to be done, air-to-water intercooler installed, bracket with pulleys installed, etc. I aim to have it all done by Friday night, but if it spills a little bit into the weekend, so be it. I'll post up more tomorrow!

[Phuck Phace]

Hell yeah.

[merlinmol]

Hells yeah, :grd:

[Doug1227]

Taking a quick lunch break. Here's what I've got so far today. Removed front fascia, headlight, moved horns, clearanced fender and behind the headlight for the inlet tube, reclocked the knock sensors, installed the air-to-water intercooler, installed the fuel rail and injectors. I'll be installing the bracket and heat exchanger next I believe. Enjoy!

You are a braver man than I, Sir! I've done several Prochargers, but when I saw the book on these, I knew HPP would get ALL my money for this one!

[Doug1227]

Just called it a day. I'm gassed. I got to step 239 which was a little past where I needed to for today. I got the evap reinstalled, IAT and TB harness extensions done. Fuel system is 100% now. Swapped plugs, mounted the pulley bracket, PCV lines, etc. The next step is getting the heat exchanger and pump mounted and wired up. Then setting the head unit on! Woohoo! I need a hot shower. My back is killing me. :)

Almost there! I've got to pick up some antifreeze and some fuel line to replace the coolant overflow line. Then put the front end on, load the temp tune, and fire it up!

All buttoned up! Found one water leak, but besides that, it went pretty smoothly. Loaded the tune, pulled it out of the driveway to sweep my mess up. I'll limp it to HPP on Monday for the final tune. Hell yeah! I'll follow these pics in a minute with the first start.

Nice Doug! Looks like you did a great job there dude. Can't wait to see what it makes...

[Doug1227]

Thanks man. It was a workout. Honestly it wasn't that bad except that I pulled a full on sprint to get it all done quickly. When I installed my turbo kit, I took a couple of weeks, working on it a few hours each night. This was a full on 8 hours per day for 2-1/2 days pretty much. Glad to have it done.

[Doug1227]

It's ALIVE!

Bitchin!

[Doug1227]

Drove it to the grocery store today just to make sure everything was going to be ok to limp it to HPP tomorrow. Everything seems fine. It's definitely rich right now. On decel it gets into the 10's on the Aeroforce gauge. Cruising is around 14. It's definitely not optimum, but should be ok limping to the dyno tomorrow.

[Rydawg1]

Dude that's awesome! I'd love to do the same to mine but I'm going to try and hold off until the factory warranty is done before I do anything on mine. Great work though, looking forward to seeing what it puts down!

[merlinmol]

Congrats dude, let us know how she does after the tune!

[Doug1227]

Will do... I'm going to video it as well and should be able to post up the video and dyno results tomorrow night.

[juiced86stang]

Nice!!! Can't wait to see some numbers on this.

[Doug1227]

<--@ the shop now. Nervous like a new daddy!

<--@ the shop now. Nervous like a new daddy!

I'm sure it will be great! Can't wait to see your first review driving it tuned. :)

[Doug1227]

Just 2 little short pulls so far. It wants FUEL! Lol!

[Grandpa]

Updates?

[Doug1227]

I'll post the graph when HPP emails it to me, but the final result was ~600/500 on a 3.75" pulley. Boost would flash to 8 then climb to around 11. Manny was cutting the runs off at 7000 and kept it pretty conservative. I think it would have made at least 25 more if he took it to 7500. Should be fun. I've got to wire up the aeroforce map sensor so I can see boost. I rigged up a mechanical gauge just for the dyno. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I have to keep reminding myself that these numbers are through an auto, not a manual like most others I see. I got to wrench on the car a little more than I planned on since we changed to a different plug after we got to 560rwhp. We went a little colder and less gap. I can't wait to get it to the track to see how it does. Honestly, it doesn't feel THAT fast to me, but I know it makes 225rwhp more now than it did when it ran 12.3's, so I'd have to think it should fly at the track. We'll see!

[BLK2012GT]

Your car will be fun to drive and yeah shutting it down at 7k took away some power. You would had been well above 600 rwhp if rev to 7500-7700.

[Grandpa]

There is several auto guys out there making less than 600rw but still running very low 10's. With the auto is won't shock the tires as much and won't feel as violent/fast, but it's no doubt going to be fast and more consistant! Congrats, Doug!

Tell that 3.5 rwhp to kiss it grats on a 600rwhp!

[Doug1227]

LOL! Yeah, we were laughing it trying to get to 600 and it teasing me! SAE was 599.6 I think... haha!

[Phuck Phace]

Very nice Doug!

[Doug1227]

Only about 188 rwhp short! LOL!

[merlinmol]

Grat's dude.

[Luke]

Nice numbers, looking forward to seeing what it does at the track

[Doug1227]

Me too!

[Grandpa]

Only about 188 rwhp short! LOL!

You have tons of room to grow with that blower though. The torque alone makes it worth it!

[Doug1227]

I got the MT's mounted up today.... I'll see how it hooks on the street this week!

[Sublime302]

Amazing build. very nice man. Love what you have done

[Doug1227]

Thanks man!

[Doug1227]

I've been wanting to get the back of my car to sit a little bit lower, so I pulled the trigger on some Eibach Sportlines this week. Here's an after pic. Car's dirty, but you get the point.

Looks good

[Doug1227]

Still having some shifting issues. Losing .4 banging off the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift. BUT, it does sound pretty cool in the video! :)
