I have been lurking the forum for a while and post on other forums quite a bit. I'd thought I'd make an account and say hi.

I had a 2007 GT with intake, tune, FRPP cams, spydershaft among other things, sold it 2 months ago for my 5.0L. I guess New Hampshire gets 5.0's last or something, because mine is scheduled for 5/31. Out of 5 big dealers int he area, that coincides with their first delivery as well

My 5.0 is Sterling Gray, Brembos with 3.73's, Security pack, comfort pack. Already bought a Rosuh spoiler for it as well. Got it for invoice when I ordered it 2/10/10. ASAP I'll have my professional photographer friend take some epic shots and have them up immediately.

Within the first 36 hours I will have the car strapped to a dynojet. My tuner is VERY knowledgeable and given he can get the 2011 codes from SCT we will be working on a custom tune for the car/ He says it will have to be started from step 1 and might take up to five hours. It will have a JLT intake and possible catless H pipe ASAP

We will be trying to use the Ti-VCT to dial in some valve overlap and get a rougher "cammed" idle. I'll be posting before/after graphs ASAP. I plan on breaking the car in on the dyno, and then heading to New England Dragway with my 275 Racemasters and seeing what this 5.0L can do.

I know this is kind of a pointless thread, but I'm excited so whatever.

 

Good luck!

 

It's not pointless if it happens. Welcome aboard and best of luck.

 

definitely not pointless, any efforts to see what kinda of tuning can be done with TI-VCT are interesting. keep us informed

 

very interested in the results

 

my delivery date is 5/29/10 placed my order 2/11/10


congrats.. good luck with the tunning..

 

I definitely will keep everyone informed...

He said it will take a lot of time to get the tune from the ground up. But, I trust him. I loved his tune on my 07 mustang

Glad to know I am not the only one "waiting" so long

It seems like everyone already has theirs, and they placed their order after mine

 

Welcome aboard!

 

If JLT does not have an intake by 6/3, we will be tuning the car completely stock

Interested to see how much gains can be had with ONLY a tune. His dyno typically reads a bit low, but the gains is all I care about

 

Good luck and I look forward to your results!

 

Ordered 1/20/10
ETA 5/30

 

Alright that makes me feel better.

Any body got exhaust tips yet?

I really like the Roush Extreme Catback. I called Roush and they said their kit for the 5.0's will be out very soon. Havent decided if I want a catless midpipe yet. If I go catless, the Roush exhuast will be too loud (no mufflerds just 2 resonators)


I'll be doing 15% tint on the rear windows, roush spoiler, BMR LCA's immediately. More mods as soon as they come out

 

Pictures ASAP
Track ASAP
dyno and graphs ASAP
Mods ASAP

That's what i like to hear!

 

I am very excited. I have been mustangless for 3 months. Can't wait to start breaking that 5.0L in.

I have a lot of friends waiting to get a crack at her in some 40 rolls as well.

 

I hear you man. I would be excited too...

I'm still in the research phase of my buying process so i have to live vicariously through you guys. I am exited for you

 

Hmmm, finally had enough time to call the dealer and get my VIN.


Only thing, I tried to use that VIN checker to get a window sticker, but the website/link is down. Any insight on that?

 

The window sticker won't be available until about a week before the scheduled build date.

 

The car has already been built and is in the delivery process with an ETA of 5/31. (At least says my dealer)

What is the link to check the window sticker? Every time I open it it says access forbidden

 

That is pretty strange. There have been a couple of instances where people have received the wrong VIN. Here's a link, just put your VIN in place of the X's.

HMMMM, it worked this time.

Thanks GREATLY

Can't wait to get her and put her on the dyno. Hopefully SCT gets the codes soon
