Those wheels are SOOOO sexy! :banana-mario:

Looks good, Kevin.


Steve, what rims are on your car?

He'll sell'em to ya.. lol

Nice man, looking good!

True Forged Victorys. Brushed centers with single tint and full polished lip, 20x9 front, 20x11 rear.

Looks damn good! and from here they look like CCW 505A's

Thanks! Yeah, kinda. The 505a's come to a point at the end of the spokes. I also believe the 505a's are a two piece wheel. Mine are three piece which is why I have all those "damn rivets". lol.

For my first born child. Lol

TF's aren't near as expensive as other forged wheels. HRE would want your first born for sure.

Would love to see the dyno graph and build thread. Pics are cool too.

-Alex

The build thread is on svtp. The car has never been on a dyno withnthe turbos since hevstreet tuned it himself. He doesnt care how much power it makes. He only cares it runs the way he wants it to.

damn, that was a while ago. if your free this weekend we can finish your video.

dyno graphs mean nothing.

Not trying to take anything away from Kevin's 1,204,483 Incredible wheel setup, BUT!

Is it just me or is the 315 rear just not doing the same justice it used to? I know it has alot to do with the car what with the 03/04 Cobra guys running 335 and 345! But I know a 315 takes some work on these 11-14 5.0s Is it just me or would Junkies 375 rear tire from the slow ass Viper look killer on this?

If you say so.

-Alex

NICE RIDE. Clean setup!

I'm down homie. This weekend is pretty much open for me with exception of Saturday afternoon from noon-5pm.

It's about balance and the lines of the car. If you look at the sidewalls of the tires, they are already starting to bulge ever so slightly. I can guarantee you Kevin would not put anymore tire on that wheel because sidewall bulge is not only ugly, but unsafe. He would need to widen the wheels at the very least to fit that much tire if not have to alter the fenderwells which I'm sure he doesn't want to do hacking up the car. Besides, running that much tire really isn't necessary to go fast, it looks cool, but not needed.

He's correct, dyno numbers mean absolutely squat. Only this latest generation of car guys are obsessed with peak dyno numbers as a measuring stick for performance not understanding peak numbers don't mean squat. (mind you most of them don't know SHIT about cars other than what they read online with NO first hand experience turning wrenches themselves.)

I'll give you a cookie if you can find where I stated or emplied that peak power determines acceleration entirely:favorites13:.

-Alex

There was a guy on the Facebook group that posted a dyno graph of his F150 a couple of weeks ago.

Stated the truck (5.0 w/ straight pipes and an AFE CAI) made 4xx whp and 42x wtq. I called BS. He didn't like it.

When he posted the graph, the dyno readings skyrocketed when the truck hit the factory rev limiter, obviously skewing his "peak" numbers. He honestly believe his truck made that peak power for a split second of RPM...LOL

No need to be defensive. It's just a conversation. If you can't handle it, don't post on the subject.

That's kind of what I'm referring to. People do stuff like that putting way too much stock into dyno numbers for bragging rights but then only end up looking like a clown when the performance of the vehicle doesn't match claimed peak numbers.

The only numbers that matter are performance numbers at the track and A/F ratio.

No harm done. I just wanted to see a dyno chart. That's all I said. Nothing about peak power or acceleration:shrug:

-Alex

He's still on the stock motor and running low boost. It's most likely making around 600-650rwhp/600tq through the auto. He will be putting an Aluminator motor in it at some point. That kit on a different car with a built motor previously made 1249rw to give you an indication of what it capable of producing.

Cool. I'd like to see when the boost comes on in the Coyote. Smaller displacement V8 so wondering if the boost is laggy at all.

-Alex

It's instant. To add to that, being an auto he can easily brake boost it to leave instantly on the hit at full torque.

...

So freaking sick! That's the first time I've seen the TF super sport wheel and liked it. Makes me want to ditch my forgestars.

Great job Kevin. Just like your red termi. Sick!

May I ask why did you go with the twin turbo kit and not the single?

This makes zero sense to me... Id be dead or in jail going 200+ mph up and down 75 trying to tune my car...

I guess it's cool to tune it for driveability and all, but almost impossible to get the maps tuned while hauling f'in ass.

not if you know what you're doing.

now thats nice

No one said anything about doing 200 MPH. Just lock the converter in a gear and make some WOT pulls to redline. No need to speed.

its called making the log then tuning once you go over the data. and 200mph lmao

I don't have a converter. And to tune a turbo car properly, it needs to be in 1 to 1 to load the car properly. My car will do 200 or a tad more in fourth gear...

Just saying that it isn't so safe and very difficult to monitor real time.

Kevin knows what he's doing for sure, but to do my setup properly, you can't tune it in second and call it a day.

Lmao for you... sorry but my post wasn't made as a funny. I was being serious about it.

....

I was just mentioning dynos have merit and a place vs them being made fun of. That's all.

Car looks great. Love the new rims.

Motor goes to Keith in 5 weeks if I don't buy Andrew's RDI instead

Not here. On DFW50s.com, dynos are completely useless. First forum I have ever been on that believes this lol.

-Alex

Lol, they are merely a tool to get the car tuned safely. Too much importance made over peak numbers these days, but what should matter is before and after tuning and mod changes... doing this on the street Imo is dangerous, even much more so than racing as you have to go much faster while monitoring. and data logging. Everyone has their own takes on the subject, that is simply my input on the matter.

Kevin knows his shit and his can will be fast. I think that is what Steve and Kevin were alluding to about dynos being "Worthless"
