This one is a little more mellow than the black car. We are just getting started on it. Check out the build up.

Cool,
Looking forward to following this write up.

 

I'm really interested in the Turbo setup. I'm a little wary of the remote mounting they have, so it'll be interesting to see how you guys like it.

 

That build-up sounds sweet. But that STS turbo package is the strangest setup I have ever seen.

 

From page 2:

The gun-drilled 35 spline axles were less than 2 lbs. heavier than the stock 28 spline axles from the 8.8" rear.[/b][/quote]

05+ uses 31 spline shafts. Either you were weighing shafts that were out of an 04 or earlier, or you miscounted the splines.

 

That car looks sweet with those wheels/tires! Can't wait to see the progress and some numbers!

OOPS, I don't know why they put 28 spline on there. Guess we're so use to Mustangs having 28 and forgot the 05's were 31.

Jason, sweet project man. I think that there are more people out there that are interested in doing this than we would originally suspect. I have always been of the mindset that if you walk up to a car like your black 05 you take one look inside and what comes to mind is "It had better be fast," you expect it from what you see. Sleepers are cool but can only be so fast from what you have to "hide." Your new project fits soundly in what I like to call a grudge night nightmare. Ford, Chevy, Mopar, whatever, if it can do what you guys are shooting for I respect it! That thing should be a blast to drive. Good luck and keep us updated. I did notice when I called you this morning that you guys have an "on hold" recording describing this project, sounds awesome.

Ill second the vote for that FAAAAAT tire on the back. That looks sweet. Interested to see what happens with this STS system as well. Can your products be bought in any color and if so how long does it take to get them special ordered like that?

We offer 9 different powdercoat colors on all of our parts. Red and black are standard, anything else is about a week ship time.

Yea, that pink color takes a bit longer to get

Yea David, sorry about the long delay on the pink parts for your car. Luckily we have it in stock now for your future orders.

Jason,
I was wondering what products you would recommend for my car. It's gonna be a basic daily driver that I am going to lower with Eibach Pros and throw some 20s on. I've heard a lot about the rear end falling out of being "true" etc. A lot of guys are getting panhard bars, etc... what are your recomendations. Oh and down the road this car will see Auto X'ing duty

I also have a 96 Mystic that I am gonna turn into a straight line abbay. What do you have to get her ready for drag duty?

Thanks
Jesse

 

What are your recomendations for your Tublar K member on a daily driver? Can it stand up to the abuse? DO you have installation instructions available online that I can take a look at?

Jason

Dave you dont think the pink and black combo is going to look good? I guess since you dont like it I will have to change to fuscia [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

In the BMR link, the following formula was there:

FWHP = WEIGHT/(ET/5.825)^3

How realistic is that formula? For example, let's assume 500fwhp (~425rwhp), and a car+driver weight of 3700lbs. That works out to an ET of 11.35 sec... which doesn't seem right to me. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

But, now if the formula was:

RWHP = WEIGHT/(ET/5.825)^3

Then again assuming 425rwhp (~500fwhp), and a car+driver weight of 3700lbs, it results in an ET of 11.98 sec... which makes more sense with 425rwhp.

Don, quit trying to mathematically put your car into the 11's. It will do it, get your a#$ to Qualcomm and prove it, for all of us. I know they only run 1/8th but I would be happy with a 7.80 or better! For those of us with cars that aren't running right now you are killing us.

LOL... I wasn't trying to "mathematically put my car into the 11's". I just wonder if the formula should be rwhp rather than fwhp.

BTW, Tech is at 6pm tonight; first run will be before 6:30... and I'll be happy with consistent 7.90s (even though the formula predicts 7.40s ahahah).

I will be anxiously awaiting your post. I am working on the helicopter all night tonight so don't be lame and go home without posting. Good Luck.

Sorry to disappoint, but I won't post until tomorrow. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]
