I no, technically it's not even winter but I'm putting my spring mod list together. This is my mod list: Mach1, Billit or cobra front break kit Fix gear whine Fix pop sound on driver side front wheel when going over a bump MM Full length sub frame connectors HiTech Stage II cam install New spark plugs New PI intake Mac LT headers Dyno tune Tranny cooler install Tranny J-mod Finish paint Total goal is 310+rwhp
Spring/Summer (possibly): Put my built shortblock in Boost and hopefully a sponsorship 500-540rwhp daily, put down 600+ on a dyno one or twice.
well my cobra is unfortunately a DD for me, but in the spring before race season and after i get my tax return i am going to do headers and swap out all the stock rubber bushings over to poly ones. the motor mounts are already poly (did that when the engine was out.) but trans, putting in an 03-04 cobra diff brace with poly diff mounts, IRS subframe and upper and lower control arm....i am trying to minimize the wheel hop. probably do a fuel filter while the subframe is out. also going to get dyno tuned nothing super awesome or cool but it needs to be done.
well i thought i would put all of my turbo stuff on this winter. but it's just been too cold. im going to use the stuff on this motor first. i just procured a turbo intake manifold for my 5.4 3v. it will flow more than the heads. its aliminum so i can weld stuff onto it as needed, and it can take all the boost i will ever need. can you say forged 5.4 rods? damn i wasted money on 4.6 rods. well hindsight is 20/20
I don't have no spring projects. I do have Tokico struts/shocks, FRPP control arms that are on the way, and will be getting Steeda clutch adjuster kit. Those will be installed during the winter.
It's winter to me. My car is up for the winter. This spring it's the gears and a new short throw. I wanted to do some of that this year, but the suspension went well over budget by the time everything was done.
What I WANT to get done... Shocks/struts Coil packs (sooner than later) Rear brakes (sooner than later) Nitrous Tune Not sure what I will actually end up doing, but first comes replacing worn parts... tires are a must right now.
1. buy a 03/04 cobra 2. install 2.8L KB 3. use eaton and tork tech kit to install cobra blower on my 99 GT 4. Die and go to heaven because i have 2 blown cars! 5. oh and maybe give them a bath ps saleengt2001 i see u fixed ur car, you ever gona let us know what happened that made you have 51rwhp?
my spring list: - finish up my shortblock - install above block into car - break in the built block - strap on a Vortech - dyno tune - get ready for summer fun!
I have a nice pile of parts in the garage right now, just been too lazy to get around to it. waiting to go on: UPR full lenghth subframe connectors Mustangs Unlimited upper and lower CA's Autometer ultra lite electric fuel pressure guage 3 core FMIC w/ 3" plumbing, new K&N Energy susp tranny mount Royal Purple for tranny and rearend FMS 3:73's Still looking for: 03/04 Cobra rear wing Rear springs (Eibach Sport) If I have the money left over upgrade the brakes to Cobra spec. Dyno tune in the spring by EFILOGICS
For me BBK Plenum/throttle body Steeda Underdive Pulleys 3.90 gears MM subframe connectors Steeda Front & Rear Sway bars MM Strut Bar
Well i plan on: Installing my MM FLSFC's Strut tower brace Front and Rear sway bars Clutch quad/firewall adj. PHB Steeda UDP's I'm really just kinda gonna work on suspension type stuff for a while, then i'll install a new n2o kit
I am also working on the suspension and brakes. Just bought cobra front brakes, going to get the rear kit and than start on the suspension. By next spring should stop and handle like a dream. Last year swapped ported heads, intake, and pi cams(wish I went with a bigger cam, o well future mod) so happy with the power, FOR NOW!! O yeah 4.10 gears by spring also, need to wake up this auto.
Yea i wish i would have built my suspension first, but i was ignorant when i started modding and didn't really have a plan for my car but its all good, i'm happy with it either way.
