Not planning on keeping the oem clutch for too long, it's just nice to know it'll hold for a little bit while I get everything else sorted.

 

I'm not really a numbers person, I couldn't really care less what my dyno sheet ends up saying at the end of the day, but on the other hand numbers/times are really the only way to compare one car to another (including past cars one has owned). Like I said I want in the neighborhood of 315-320 (or a solid 300 mustang number) for 98% of my driving, planning on keeping it safe for the motor's sake, but would like to switch to an e85 map when I feel like a track day or get the urge, and then I want to make some solid power. In my experiences e85 gives you a pretty big safety net as long as you don't tune it to the edge.

 

And at the end of the day a built motor is in the works. I'm in this one for the long haul, just don't have the wrench time these days to do everything all at once.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I got the Stoptech cryo-treated rotors after co-workers have used them on track cars with very good luck. They wear at a much slower rate and dont heat up as fast. I wont ever have non cryo-treated rotors again.

 

And they dont cost an arm and a leg either. ;)

Brakes squealing a bit. Brake upgrade time coming soon!

 

Ill do high performance pads and rotors though.

 

I think you may want to evaluate your goals here a bit. "High performance" pads are going to squeal and dust. If the only reason you're doing it is because of squeal, you're not gonna get very far.

 

Check your pads out and make sure they're not dead, if not, try a bedding procedure and see if it clears up your problem. You probably just got some deposits/junk settled in.

My pads are certainly approaching dead. The rotors ahve also been resurfaced THREE times under warranty by the dealer. LOL

 

I will double check them when i put on my winters... Brakes have about 30k on them, as they are original.

Love the build! I would love to do something similar in terms of upgrading the turbo and fuel management... stage 2 just isn't cutting it anymore... and just like you were i am torn by all the options out there for a stock location turbo. What gas are you tuned for? 91?

Some recent pics. Vinyl'd the rear chrome accents too.

Cleaned the engine bay a bit.

 

How's the fitment on your ks tech intake? Any rubbing?

 

And did you get tuned with your stock intake w/ the 18g?

 

I'm doing an 18g upgrade next month and I'm trying to figure out if its worth upgrading the intake.

It fits perfectly. No rubbing that I'm aware of :lol:

 

I was tuned with the kstech.

 

From what I recall, 350 whp is right around the ballpark max on the oem intake, so it's likely not needed. But, if nothing more, it opens up that area a bit, making it easier to get into the left side.

Thank you sir!

 

I have plans to put hood struts on, get some new summer hoops, and perhaps even a new set of wheels if I can find something worthy... But, we'll see. :)

 

Brakes are also in my future. Just about half way through my OEM's.
