Been wanting to make a thread documenting progress. But it never happened. So here it is now!

Stock




After Koni STR.Ts and Steeda Sport Springs installed:


275/40/19 Michelin Pilot PS2s wrapped around Miró 111s:





Grabber Pony shift ****:


That's how she looks now.

Next mods planned to be done are hidden side exhaust with electronic cutouts and 3M clear bra. I'm also planning on changing the hood to the 302S from Tiger Racing and the grill to the Saleen. The grill and the hood swap isn't for sure but i'm thinking about it.

 

Good looking car ya got there

 

That looks great! Havent seen many silver GTCS. Will look great with the black saleen grille!

 

Thanks for the comments!

I'm torn on the grill and hood. It's hard to imagine how it will look.

 

Well I pulled the trigger on the tiger racing 302s hood, saleen grill, quad exhaust with electronic cutouts, and 3M clear bra. Will post pics when its all installed!

 

How are you planning to paint the hood?

 

Shop is doing it, not me.

 

Blackbird, your car looks fantastic. WOW ! ----Bill

 

Thank you.

 

So a little update... none of the things I posted have been installed yet because I was going back and forth with the shop guys getting different estimates in Superchargers. I've decided on the Kenne Bell 2.8LC. So probably about 2 weeks before the kit arrives and they can start installing everything. I'm pretty **** excited.

 

Looks great! I think the grill would look good with a black billet or the saleen.

 

Thanks! Yeah I'm going with the Saleen grill.

 

Supercharger is paid for now for the wait.

 

Been a little while since I updated this. It's currently in the shop having everything put on. They did a baseline dyno with the Steeda CAI and tune on and it produced 406rwhp. I saw it yesterday in the shop and they're making progress but they ran into a hiccup when the tech checked the pulley on the supercharger and found the bearings weren't right. It wobbled when he tried to move it around so hopefully the new pulley will arrive tomorrow.

Pictures of it in the shop:

 

Oh, thats awesome !

Good luck !

 

Looks great

What's the size of the wheels? width

 

 

I so want to put a supercharger on my car, but I find that I don't really use the 400+ ponies I have on any sort of regular basis. I wonder what the heck I'd do with 600 other than play mine is bigger than yours. Man, I hope this isn't maturity, I'm only 51.

 

Thank you!

Not sure if you meant diameter and width. 19x9.5

I don't always use the 400 I have... err had either but when it's there it's a friggin blast. Now it'll be just insane. Pretty sure I haven't had that thought process though seeing as i'm 30 years younger.

 

Way to go Blackbird !! Man you've got to be sooo fired up right now.
That Kenne Bell sure is the business.......
Your car looks stellar to say the least.
All My Best Blackbird.------Bill
