Project: Procharged 2007 V6

I will be sending my brand new 2007 Mustang V6 off to THR (TexasHotRods) soon to have the following installed:

- Procharger P-1SC @ 10psi
- 3 core upgraded intercooler with 3" piping
- 7.5 inch Track Lok Differential
- Moser or T/A Diff Cover
- 7.5 Gear Set 3.73
- Stainless Works longtube headers
- Stainless Works x pipe
- Stainless Works cat-back
- Autometer dash gauge pod
- Autometer Nexus gauges

And possibly a little suspension work as well.

Dyno-tuning and install will take place at THR.

Here's a few "Before" pictures:






I can't wait to get started on this project! I will post updates as they become available.

-jeff

i thought you were going with a turbo and someone local for the install. Like a sponsor or something. what happened?

the kit is cool though.

I changed my mind on the turbo... I just decided I didn't want to go that route.

THR is a sponsor of LSS, I just haven't received their banner from them yet, so I haven't officially annonced it.

Trust me, this is still going to be a beast... this is just Stage I.

sweet plans.

how well is that rear end gonna hold up though? lots of weight and like 300-350 rwhp with a 5-speed? money might be better spent on an 8.8 with plans like those.

I have asked brian at THR the same question, but he says it will be more than strong enough.

it may well be for this round, but I would say just spend the money once and get the 8.8. If you plan more you are going to need it, so I would just ditch the 7.5 before you put any money into it. I would think it would only be a couple more hundred to get the 8.8 which would already have the track loc.

i find it REALLY hard to believe that the rear end will hold up.. ESPECIALLY with drag radials.. dr's are BRUTAL on rear suspension and axle parts.. but then again, i'm not the expert....

how would they be any more brutal than a pair of slicks?

Brain at THR has told me that the built 7.5 will handle it, and I trust his word. Besides, if it doesn't handle it... he will make it right.

oh i'm not saying i'll beat you... but i know it will be fun either way!

it's going to take me a lot of practice to get used to racing with some real power.... remember, i'm used to 175rwhp.

so win or lose, i will be getting some much needed practice while having a blast at the track. and that's what it's all about, right?

but, if i win that would be pretty sweet too.

the way it was explained to me by dean is that slicks have more give in the sidewall so they dont put as much immediate stress on the rear end.. they kinda ease it on there.. where as dr's are a lot more solid.. so a lot more sudden impact.. and like i said i'm no expert and i'm sure he will make it right... i'm just putting in my .02

i will agree on the slicks vs drag radials point made above.
My only addition to is that if the drag radials hook well, then they could pose more of a problem. However, since they do have less of a contact patch, they are easier to spin on you as well and that will just make you look dumb. LOL

it won't be sent up to THR for about a month. The Procharger kit has been ordered, but it takes some time for them to ship it, and we are also waiting on Stainless Works or Kooks to release their Longtube headers for the car. Both companies are weeks away from releasing the product.

Once he gets all of the stuff in, he will pick up the car and he said he should be done with it in a week.
