Ok, so are the HID's just the round part that fits into the buckets? If so I don't see a reason they would not fit in the Shelby as well.



I certainly hope they can!!

Yeah, the decals don't look as bad as I expected/worried they might. And as far as sponsors are concerned, Vortech is a good one to have...

Nevermind, I followed one of your links to Saleen and saw that it is the complete housing. Oh well, hopefully someone in the aftermarket will come out with some eventually.

I wouldn't really be worried man. There will be a bigger market for them for the Shelbys than the regular old jobbies.

WOW!!! Thats a really nice lookin car Brad! Never seen the shot with the top up, from the elevated camera position.. That shot speaks volumes... It looks so humble just sitting there... Looking at the car from a distance, you would never know that it would break a Corvette in half.. LOL!! Thats perfect...

Lets call the play "The Source Horse, An Adventure of Sleeping Beauty and the Beast From Within!!

I tried to dyno it Saturday, but a power surge the night before caused some hardware issues. We'll try again on January 23.

I really don't like convertibles but this is an exception! That engine bay is beautiful! Every thing just looks so well placed and thought out!

You're going to have to let us know how the other guys (Chev, Dodge, rice, etc.) treat you at the stoplights now that you're sporting the Vortech sticker

I hope so!

Just so everyone knows, the car even looks better in person! Especially with the new wheels. I can't wait to see the finished project....about the time the new baby Barnett shows up.

Hey Brad, I was wondering if your currently looking for a Sponsor for the Rods and Pistons in your car..

I would like to see you get a Sponsor who would support you on a Forged rod and piston swap, so you get make a safe 600RWHP!

1. Can the stock 4.6L 3V block take that much stress

You know your at 467RWHP.. But really looking at the numbers reveals a crankshaft HP output of 595HP @ the crankshaft..

This is 467RWHP+ 93HP(To spin the blower) + 35HP (Drivetrain loss).... I understand that you have said its only 537HP at the Flywheel, but you forgot to account for the HP needed to actually power the blower.. Your using 93HP of created HP, to create more HP..

I would like to see you acquire for the community an engine sponsor.. Someone willing to produce aftermarket upgrade kit for the V8 and V6.. The Source Horse would be the test mule for a safe 600RWHP...

So your task Brad, is to bring in an engine sponsor for the community.. We have seen enough hurt ponies around here lately.. We need TMS to come up with a proven solution!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

I'm perfectly satisfied with the power the car makes now. Any more, and I'd be terrified to drive it every day.
