OK, finally got the car back...... it's awesome! Brenspeed installed and tuned a non-cooled Vortech kit, containing a polished V2 blower and needed accessories. The car drives like stock until you floor it...... then it really starts to move and once you hit 3500rpm it just screams!

Final dyno numbers are 439/383 with air/fuel never going above 11.8 and timing in the mid-teens. I can not believe the throttle response that Brent's tune gives with this kit- you had better hold on tight and more importantly, you had better shift gears quick (I have 4.10's) or else you'll be in the red in about a nano-second!!

And some vids.... I hope the last one doesn't get anyone sea-sick.... I was trying to record, shift, and steer at the same time. The point was to illustrate how quickly the RPMs rise- I nailed the throttle at 4k and you can see how fast the needle moves!

 

So did you just put the Shaker cover on the engine for looks or ?

 

I want!

 

So the Shaker is non-functional? And how many lbs of boost?

 

Sweeeeet,
I just stopped in to sneak a peak. I'll get a better look after work. Bet your tickled to death.

I installed the shaker last year....... so instead of removing it and buying a new hood, this is what I decided to do. Yes, at this point it is non-functional but it never really added any performance anyway.

However, CDC has a custom extension from the shaker to the Vortech filter that was shown in a recent magazine..... I may contact them and see if they can make me one too.

The blower is rated for 8lbs of boost, but I had my gauge pegged at almost 10lbs on a third gear sprint earlier today; I would say 8 will be pretty normal.

 

Awesome man. What did the whole package set you back if you don't mind me asking?

 

Tom. Why did you go back to the o/r h?

 

Congratulation's Tom!......Looks like Brent did a excellent job on the install. What a beautiful day for your Vortec honeymoon!......I can see your wife is going to have to literally drag you out of that Stang!.. Don't forget, lock the garage when your alone with the car! you wouldn't want your kids to walk in on you!......

 

Well to be honest, since I was kinda a guinea pig I can't say how much it cost. But, Brenspeed is putting these kits together with CMRC delete plates and will be selling them soon! Call or email Brent or Dave at Brenspeed for details!!!

I went back to the o/r H because the catted X was too quiet..... I added 18" resonators inline on the overaxle pipes along with the Borlas- that totally eliminated the trumpeting and drone and now I am VERY happy with how it sounds- loud, low, mean, aggressive, and no funny sounds! That's just me though, I'm pretty **** about how my car sounds and its so objective that some people love it, and others don't..... but I'm happy!

Yes, Brent and Dave did a great job! Dave did the install, Brent did the tune and let me tell you it is super smooth...... the tune really is awesome on this kit! As far as the garage goes, it's 1200 sqft and before I left for vacation I washed and waxed my '92 GT vert- so between it and the '06 with blower, I'm about spent! Hopefully I have some left for my wife too LOL!!!

(of course I'm talkin' about money..... this is a family friendly site afterall)

 

I like the sound, that thing sounds mean, you wont be fooling anyone at a stoplight

 

Looks fantastic, Tom!

Now I'm jealous!!

 

Hey Bill, you need to get one and do a write-up for the rest of us!

 

I wish!

Maybe I should start taking up a collection just so I can do a write-up for you guys!

 

Tom I'm jealous. Looks like they did a good job of customizing the shaker shroud.

 

Bill, thats what your Stang needs! Its only money!...

 

Tom, I think 70MACH1OWNER and I need to contact Brent and see if we can get a group Senior Citizens Vortec discount!....I think if Brent talks to 70MACH1OWNER (Scott) we might be able to also get a mentally handicap discount in addition to to the Senior's discount! ........

 

Coming from owners of two of the nicest stangs here, that means alot..... thanks guys!

And thanks to everyone else for the feedback! If there are any questions about the system, please don't hesitate.

Thanks,

Tom

 

I notice that he's been pretty quiet today...... maybe he forgot where he is ! J/K
