Ford Racing SC installed

I went ahead and made the leap to the big time (at least for me). I just installed the Whipple 624 SC. I also installed the Ford racing suspension kit #3 and Roush axle back exhaust. Will install the Steeda short shift kit this weekend. Shouldn't take long. Ford made a great car. It drives great. Power and handling. Next up is the Brembo package from Ford Racing parts in CA. They have a deal on the kit right now. They say "bolt-up" but I now know what that really means.
The power is instantaneous and pull til red line, which comes very fast. Very pleased indeed with Ford racing.

What's the current "deal" price on the Brembos? I'm thinking about getting some as well.

brembos

They quoted me $1339 or $1399 (i couldn't quite hear). Front brembos with pad upgrade for the rears. They intend to keep price down through end of year. good folks. Hooked me up with the ford engineers and they discussed my supercharger purchase with me, the risks etc. Their calibration will protect the engine, so they say.

That's the same price I found here: http://www.fordracingpartsdirect.com...p/m-2300-s.htm I was hoping you'd found a better deal. That's still a good deal, but I'm pinching pennies. I've already dropped a boat load of cash since buying this car and have shocks/struts and new wheels/tires on the way. If I find a smoking deal on the Brembos, then I'll get those, too.

keep us posted on your new super mod I'm still deciding on what type of SC I want for my car.I got a chance to see both the Paxton/Vortech systems as well as the Kenne Bell set up today at a big event here in Cali.

I have yet to see a Whipple on a 2011 here in Socal but I'm sure it wont be long.I'm not really going for big numbers hp wise,just want a nice reliable set up.

The Brembo kit is indeed bolt-on, the only thing you have to do is bleed the brakes after everything is bolted up!

I just found the Brembo kit for $1,199. Ordered it for that price. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...otor-Upgrade-K

Is this a Brembo thread? I came here looking for videos, photos, and/or dyno sheets for a Whipple SC setup and all I see are comments back-and-forth about brakes?!?

Come on guys, if you had just installed that SC would you give two poops what someone on the forum thought or wanted? No, you would be driving your car for all it was worth. Keep on keepin on!
