I think JPC should have the motor towards the end of this week so I am hoping to have it done by next week. They had a N/A motor that made in the 630 range and mine has the potential to make more then that one did. Will it? Who knows but north of 630 on a N/A car would be absolutely bonkers
That's awesome Sean!
Absolutely bonkers is correct. Awesome stuff. How much TQ do you think it will have? About 500?
Thanks! Nothing close to your beauty but I do my best!
Swirl free is the goal although I'm sure there are some in there. It's hard to tell with SGM tbh which is partly why I like the color. Over 3 years of owning it and doing my best to take care of it and I haven't polished her yet. The paint's luster still appears to be pretty good but I plan on learning to polish soon just to be sure. Never done it so I'm a bit apprehensive about making the problem worse but if I look into it enough, hopefully it will turn out alright. Your car really is one of the cleanest looking rides I've ever seen.
And yes, they're Roush AB's on my sixxer. I'll try to get a decent quality sound clip/video to upload. I have a few recorded but nothing spectacular. I actually think it sounds relatively good for everything else on the car being stock. A little raspiness depending on the speed and RPMs I'm climbing through and how hard I'm accelerating but from what I've read, some shorty headers help a bit and if it still bothers me, I could get some glasspack resonators installed for relatively cheap and that should remove it completely. Either way, over the stock exhaust, I'm very happy with the Roush's for the price. I've been trying to strike a decent balance between tasteful/useful mods and spending a crap ton of money. The Borla's all seemed great but were $700+ and I got my Roush's for $400. Sound wasn't different enough to justify the price jump to me.
On that note, your exhaust is ****ing mean. From the sound clips you posted post Kooks exhaust mod, it sounds like you ride straight out of hell everytime you turn the car on. My neighbors would hate me...
Thanks! I did the stripes myself and I'm pretty proud of them. I would have loved to be able to drop the money on painted stripes for the durability but for very small fraction of the cost (~150 bucks compared to ~2500) I was able to get the look I wanted and have money left over for other mods! My Airaid CAI should be here tomorrow and I've already got the tuner with an 87 and 93 Octane Steeda tune ready to be uploaded to the car!
Yes, please upload a vid/audio file at some point. Would love to hear. And thanks for the exhaust sound metaphor. I like that. You have officially made my quote line.
where ya been buddy? Although I do see you on IG a lot. Car is looking fly!
Thanks for the compliment. I have been around but haven't taken any good pictures lately to post haha. Also just got a new Daily Driver to save the Mustang on miles haha.

Holy crap! I made Burton's quote line! Oh man, day made. That on top of installing my CAI and tune...
Burton: Here's two sound clips. I don't have anything particularly ideal for capturing high quality sound but this was HD video from my Nikon and it seemed to turn out the best. The second clip is a drive-by right after I installed it. The one in my driveway is from just the other day. When these clips were recorded, the Roush's were the only performance upgrade, everything else has been visual so far.
Now that I've got the old videos out of the way, some new pics! Installed my Airaid CAI and Steeda tune. Definitely a different beast and haven't even used the 93 Octane version yet, still running the 87 Octane tune. Also cleaned up the engine bay a bit after the the intake swap and I think it looks good.
