I was surfing the other forums, and came accross some interesting tidbits from SEMA (credit goes to GumDropLarry at All Ford Mustang Forums). Here are some that I think you all will be interested in:

UPDATE!!!!

sorry all, my comps a little bit haywire the last few days.theres some really REALLY outrageous stuff here at SEMA.all i can say is save your pennies if youre stock.

V6: slew of intakes from companies like AIRAID, Injen, Green, AEM.
suspension from kits from Corven, Bilstein, JIC, and coming soon TEIN. Paxton now makes a supercharger for V6 and is in partnership with Carrol Shelby.MRT has a custom twin turbo setup system with two Garret T25 turbines, and i forget who but they have a single turbo setup also (not powerhouse, cuz they arent at SEMA)but is a Garret GT3067(i think)turbine that maxes a whopping 32 psi and only weighs 35 lbs. easily boasting 500-600 ish whp.i was talking to the guy and he said that a custom set up for a V6 would probably run me about $3,200 or so.(OMG soooo worth it!)

V8:a schmoregazborg of vortech and paxton and procharged stangs.a twin turbo setup from Garret capable of 500-600whp also but im guessing around 12 or less psi.a bassani single turbo system.the same suspension components from the above companies.

both:widebody kits, carbon fiber kits. carbon fiber wide body kits.extreme dimensions is selling a hot wheels widebody carbon fiber kit and it looks pretty darn good.theres a bunch of new body kits out there and in lieu of the wheels already made in our offsets, theres a whole kitten caboodle of companies jumping at the opportunity to make a custom wheel and not charge MSRP or retail.instead willing to give it for free for being used as a mule. and the creme of the crop, GT500E's across the board.i went outside and there i found the pinnacle of S197 one-of's...a 1969 BOSS mustang body kit by Unique Performance. it REALLY does look like a 69 boss.including wide body flares on the rear eliminating the rear window and replacing it with a fender.

what you are about to see in the coming months, are gonna shatter and warp all our competition's fragile little minds.im telling you, vette's never looked so good in my rear view.

That boss kit, and 300 RWHP 6 sound awesome. Can't wait till it is mainstream.

TMSBrad

The '69 Boss body kit was not from Unique Performance; they were just parked side-by-side.

Did you get any info on this particular car Brad? If so what did you think?

TMSBrad

Yeah, I've been talking to Scott (MRT president) for a while. It's an incredible car. I haven't had a chance to ask what parts will make it into production, but I know the seats and custom convertible top boot will. I assume the spoiler and hood will as well.

And the twin turbo setup is sweet.

MSP

In regards to the Twin Turbo.. Did they make any changes to the internals? Pistons, Rods, Crankshaft? Also the heads? Or is he saying all this will just use the stock 4.0 engine parts, and just bolt onto whats installed from the factory?

MusicMan66

Yeah, I find it hard to believe the stock heads, pistons, etc. and even the tranny could take that much power. It would be interesting to find out exactly what mods were required for that setup.

MSP

Yes, I'm with you.. We will wait to see whats what.. The best news is, the block and cylinders, even with all the water passages can handle the pressure.. All this time, the extra water passages were thought to be a bad thing for the 4.0, limiting the amount of power the block could take.. So like you we will wait for the final word..

But best be assured, we will not except anymore skeptisizm if the word comes down that this kit slaps onto a factory setup! All you GT guys will have no choice but to admit the 4.0 block is potent.. If we can use the factory installed parts, and just dish out $3200 bucks, we are truely gonna have to be thankful to Ford for giving us this 4.0 engine.. I am amazed like you HadAStang!! We need more info.. But we already know the block is good for massive boost.. We cant be denied this.. Its now a fact!!

MSP

More info on the car!

Looks like its 300RWHP.. Not 600HP.. This makes alot more sense..

MSP

MRT's Website of the car..

Even @ 300RWHP, still nice that other Power-Adder options are available for us.. So us V6'ers will proudly take 300RWHP.. LOL!! We accept.. Dont beat us too bad GT guys!

MusicMan66

Heck, I'd even buy 350RWHP, but 600 is hard to believe. Triple the HP? 32 psi on stock internals? OK, prove it.

MSP

600RWHP is 706HP at the Crank! I believe the 32PSI statement was in relation to the amount of boost the turbos themselves can handle, and not an indication of the motor itself.. 706HP @ the crank is tough for even a 4.6.. The Cobra motor can take it with its forged internals, which means a 2005 GT 4.6 would need to be completely rebuilt to handle such power.. Suffice this conversation to say that 03/04 Cobra owners better not even dream of selling their cars ever! Dont budge, if HP is what gets your goat..

rygenstormlocke

Wow, I'm just back and catching up on all the threads. Amazing what kind of info is on that MRT car. More amazing is how strong our block is. This defiintely gives me reassurance in turning my 4.0 into a performance demon.

Thanks everyone for the details on this.

scrming

and guess what!!! MRT is local to me too!!! Maybe I can convince Scott to take me for a ride!!! LOL!

rygenstormlocke

Yea yea, keep rubbing it in.

DO you have some pictures you could provide for us who are not fortunate to make it SEMA? A body kit could be some pretty easy money if it's as good as we hear it is. A majority of the people who are making exterior mods are favoring those that are more 'retro'. People even have liscense plates that say 'retro' on their new stangs. I would definitely buy one if it was as convincing as people are saying it is.

Trust me, this guy will make his money!! Without a doubt!!

Boy oh Boy!! If I could just get my hands on a pair of those rear fenders, and paint them Windveil Blue!!

rygenstormlocke

No kidding. The rear fenders is what really sets that car off!!!
