Rick D
(aka 98BlueGT) - Update
Southern California
Background info: It's been
almost a year, and there have been quite a few
changes made to my ride since the last time I submitted it into Select
Stangs. The original submission can be found at the following link:
http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/select935.htm
Originally, the only mods
done to the car then were clear corners, Tokico
Illuminas, Eibach Sportlines, cc plates, and a Classic Chin lip spoiler.
Here is the updated list of mods.
ENGINE
WMS Powertube with K&N
99 Heads
99 Intake
180 thermostat
Steeda underdrive pullies
Custom chip by Powertrain Dynamics, Huntington Beach, CA
DRIVETRAIN
FMS 3.73 rear gear
CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
Steeda CC plates
Steeda strut tower brace
Steeda K-member brace
Steeda subframes (welded)
Tokico Illuminas 5-way adj
Eibach Sportlines
APPEARANCE
Dugan clear corners
Classic Design Concepts chin spoiler
TRMotorsport Typhoons, 18x8 front, 18x9 rear
Kumho Ecsta Supra tires, 235/40 front, 265/35 rear
and most importantly, the Mustangworld.com stickers, hehe.
Future mods include a Steeda
Tri-ax, new springs, new headlights, porting
and polishing, supercharger, Cervini front bumper...who knows...whatever
my
budget allows.
With current mods, the car
dynos at 249.5rwhp and 292.5torque. These are
"actual" horsepower figures taken near sea level during a
70 degree day, so
hopefully the corrected numbers aren't too far off.
Thanks goes to Advanced Engineering
West in Ontario for the engine work,
Powertrain Dynamics for the dyno tune, Mustangworld for keeping me in
touch
with the Mustang community, and my fellow stangers and club members
for
keeping me motivated.
Yeah ! -
