his motor's already a 4.0.. i thought the 4.2's were stroked 3.8's...
well yea obviously my statement is assuming they hook.. you're not gonna twist axles or break control arms if you can't get traction...(other than wheel hop situations of couse.. had to add it or someone will try to say i'm wrong.)
I went ahead and installed my GT rear bumper yesterday. I figured I would go ahead and get it done before sending it to THR so that it won't be a hassle for them...

Big thanks again to Mitch and Margo for giving me the hookup on the bumper.
it will be cool with dual tips.
i'm assuming that is the plan right?

yessir. THR will be installing a full stainless steel exhaust, from Longtubes to tips.
I just went ahead and installed the bumper instead of sending it up there for them to do. I don't drive the car enough to worry about people noticing that it doesn't have dual exhaust yet.
I would assume the same things, i dont think hes gonna do all those big mods with out doing the little things like dualing it out for better air flow. Nice car coming along bandit, love the s197 body style. I have been debating wheter i should take out part of my savings acct and get it super/turbo/pro charged. I think Im gonna focus on styling and bolt ons though. Im still getting use to the jump from my v6 190hp to the v8 300hp (crank). Plus if i wanna go fast ill just jump on the Ninja. Your jump in hp is going to be crazy from your old car. Congrats!!! Cant wait to see the finished product. Oh wait it will never be finished, there will always be something else you can do to it.

nice. dual exhaust rocks, even if it's mostly for the look. it makes a nice, clean finish.
well he beat me to it, we both posted at the same exact time.yessir. THR will be installing a full stainless steel exhaust, from Longtubes to tips.

well it won't be just for looks... but yeah, dual exhaust is a much more symmetrical look
Put two fart cans out back Jeff ....

coming from a past procharged 05 v6 owner... with you have plans for anything to go over 400ish rwhp/400 rwtq .. you should invest in a 8.8 vs 7.5 w gears and lsd....
most guys have blown them around that power...
http://www.mustangcollective.com
go here for info incase you havent heard about it.. yet
I blew my motor with a procharger 13psi and a 50 wet shot..
I have a forged SSM motor, with a powerhouse turbo, and zex ... turbo was bought through PMP( if you mean piedmont modular performance in nc)i can run around 13 psi but if i go much higher im liable to blow the rear out like every one else has..
NOt saying you cant beat on it..
but dont go to crazy with a 5 spd and dr at the track....
also..
if you upgraded the intercooler you shoulda upgraded to a D-1sc ... your P1sc will be maxed out at 15 psi.. and the smallest pulley you can go 3.0 .. after that you gotta get custom pulleys done ....

Hey, thanks for the insight...
I am going to talk to Brian at THR again about the 7.5 vs 8.8 deal.
I originally wanted to upgrade to the D1SC but he said the P1SC will be more than enough for the V6.
more than enough for that stock motor, but is that where you are really going to stop?

I have no mechanic skills what so ever and I installed my kit twice and removed it 2x by myself .. just took longer and it was free.

JUST SHOOT ME AN EMAIL IF YOU HAVE OTHER QUESTION FROM SOMEONE THATS HAD THAT MODEL ON THIS MOTOR

The weak point on the 7.5s are the side carrier gears,busted 3 sets with
a n/a 302/C4 with 10 inch convertor/8x26 slicks and no bottle.The ring and pinion were never any problem.,just the carrier.2 of them were "built"and didnt make 40 passes each.This was in a 2900 lb Fairmont so I do believe you will
have some problems.
Never underestimate the unpredictability
of stupidity!
Just damn junk with a blow through
Speed Concepts - TO1010 - 2005-2007 Mustang GT 8.8 Rear End Axle takeoffs with 3.31 gears and T-lock (also direct fit on V6 models)
There is a link to a company selling 8.8 take off units from 05+ GT's. $529 plus $115 shipping.
Edit: Whoops, I now see this was already covered in post #56. Anywho, this is definitely the route I would go.

Got word yesterday that Brian will be coming to drop off Margo and Josh's cars and pick mine up later this week!
NICE, its getting started!
definitely going to have to check out this beast when i come down again
IT HAS BEGUN!
Brian dropped off Margo (mrscode3gt) and Josh's (Scar) Procharged GTs:
Then it was time to load up the soon-to-be Procharged V6!
More pictures and details to come as progress is made... stay tuned!
oohhhhh shit, i cant wait to see this bad mo fo v6
Fing A dude thats awesome!
Signature? I dont need no stinkin signature!
Good luck ...
I just blew my fully built SSM 4.0 and turbo w/ nitrous at 11.4@121.... with my 3rd gear hanging....
I think its safe to say max power for the v6 will be around the 500/550 mark... on stock 350-375 is fine with a great tune...

11.4@121
if you run 9 psi i say
auto- 290-320 hp and tq should be around 20 higher
5peed 305-340 hp ` " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
if 12 psi
auto 320-335
5 peed 335-350 with tq beening the same above..
this is predictied that you have a intercooler

Yeah... we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I won't be looking at anything over 350-380 for a while. So for now I should be safe.
In a few years down the road, when I do get the itch for some more power... it will be built as well as possible to handle the load. But at the end of the day, things happen... and it's just my toy. So if she blows, we'll just have to build her back up and try something different.
-jeff
It is a 5 speed, and yes it will have an upgraded 3 core intercooler.
I'm excited man... you gotta remember, I've been driving around my old 175rwhp V6 (2000) for years, so anything over 300 is gonna rock my socks!
yeah mostg p/c 5 speed get about what I posted anything less then balme your tuner LOl.. specially sine the weather is getting colder should be better dyno..
Oh if you get a bad tune doesnt matter how much power you get itll still go BOOM on this motor

hey bandit i just realized your license plates thats funny man wish i woulda thought of that.
That's not bandit's license plate...that's my wife's. Her car was being delivered when bandit's car was being picked up.
Bandit's plates should say.... u-shudnt
I have a car.
It has a motor.
It goes fast.
Can you help me install parts?
oh my bad 1slo85. still a cool plate. thanks to me noticing that i decided to come up with all kinds of plate ideas. ill post a thread to open for voting an suggestions.
why dont you upgrade the 7.5 in rear and go to a 8.8 if your gunna be pushin that much HP and TQ it would be a wise way to go
a lot of guys that have gone Fi on the s197 v6 has not had problems though with the 7.5 of course until you go with drag radials
any new updates? ETA on return?
I haven't heard back from Brian in a week or two.
Although, last I heard from his was that the StainlessWorks longtube headers would be ready in a couple weeks. Which is good because that was the last thing we were waiting on for the install.
well the procharger itself though shouldnt be delayed due to waiting on the longtubes. they dont get in the way of the install and you can lift the car which they should to getthe exhaust mainfold out and put on the headers. it makes it so much easier on our 4.0s.
btw are you getting them ceramic coated?
fixed. LMAO just messin man. thats gonna be one sick ass v6
