^ nice! who put a hole in your hood though? you or shop?

 

I did because I am crazy!!!

 

And I thought it took a lot of nerve when I cut my rear bumper for the GT500 quads.

 

^ wow... you my friend, have KOHONES of STEEL. Even if someone paid me good money, I would not and could not do that to my hood, or heck, their hood.

I'm guessing the CDC Shaker came with a template/measurement recommendation of some sort? Don't tell me you measured and just cut on your own? Your KOHONES would move to TITANIUM level instead of steel, if that were the case. LOL.

Any issues with leaking H20 through the shaker or the new hole you cut?

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks for asking. We've been busy around home and with travel and I've gotten back into shooting, so a lot of activity taking my time. I didn't make it out to run autocross ONE time this year. Maybe next year. I'm still really happy with my Mustang (especially now that it is shifting properly again) and have had no significant problems with her. She is nearing 44K miles thanks to several road trips.

 

Finished up procharger stage 2 kit install this past week. Boost is a lot of fun!!!!!

Congrats! You and spectre are the 2 procharged folks I know on here then. How was install? Easy to do yourself? And what tune are you running? Dyno numbers soon? How much boost?

 

It all came in the kit. It was super easy. You just have to build up the nerve and measure 50 times before you cut. No water issues at all. The scoop has holes plus 4 tubes to get the water off and around the engine.

 

Did you notice any performance gains with the shaker installed?

 

Once you go boost, you can't go back.

 

The install was not hard at all to install. I did it throughout the course of a week. Few hours here, few hours there. Seems intimidating but if you are mechanically inclined and have a decent amount of tools it's not very hard. I did the Stage 2 tuner kit with ID1000 injectors, brisk spark plugs, vmp bap, and lund remote tuning from Beefcake Racing (amazing customer service). Running 9lbs of boost. Going to a dyno day next month at the mustang shop by me so I will know then. It's a Mustang dyno so numbers will be slightly lower than other dynos. Should be around 600-620ish whp so figure 560-575 on their dyno. Car drives dead stock below 3500. Above that boost start coming on quick. I have the track pack with 3.73s so it gets into boost really quick.

 

I think I just bought a shirt that had something similar printed on it. (am serious too). But yes, you are correct! I couldn't imagine driving Marilyn stock. Wouldn't be as much fun for sure.

Very nice man. Looks exquisitely done. Nice job on the install, and good luck with the dyno.

 

A little but nothing more than a CAI. It really is for the looks. However, I got a BAMA tune and need to get remap after the mod. The sound is way louder and I hear a sucking sounding now with the top down.

 

Thanks. Either way i dont get to hung up on dyno numbers. Eventually doing forged rods, pistons, and possibly a set of heads, then it's time for a smaller pulley to up the boost a bit. Just want to know before and after numbers.

 

Nice. You see, that's what I'm debating to. I could put my next set of mod money towards strengthening the engine internals, or I could just put all that towards another toy car. I don't know what to do. LOL

 

Very nice bro.
That Stage 2 Procharger kit is no joke!!! Keep us posted on the dyno numbers.
Just curious, did you do any engine upgrades for the power you are adding?

 

Besides id1000 injectors, brisk spark plugs and a VMP bap, no. No internal upgrades yet. Only pushing 9lbs of boost right now. Plan on doing forged rods, pistons, and possibly cnc heads next season and upping the boost.

 

Yep same as me. No internal mods. Just doing about 9 - 9.5 lbs of boost, 600whp. I'm stopping there until I decide to either go all out on the car or leaving as is then investing in another toy.

 

Yeah, a coyote with 9lbs of boost and 600whp is an extremely fast street car. Extremely.
