Must be nice to be basically a master mechanic and do a lot yourself. I'd toss the overweight 20" wheels for 15 lbs lighter, each x 4 >>18's.... I'm just waiting for some one to make brighter tri-bar LED DRL's.... The oem's are just so dim, dull and lifeless in daylight, that they're almost not visible. And sadly, Ford did not fix this issue on the MY 18 car. Oh and the 18's have gained 40-50 lbs more weight too. Lots of new standard equipment, that I call "dumb driver", aids such as blind spot, adaptive cruise, lane keep, etc. all designed to make people less involved and even more incompetent at driving, aka: The big push towards autonomous driving, and a far less enjoyable, less engaging experience soon to be gone, known as "driving ourselves"..

Say no to nannies! I really enjoy the mechanical feel of a vehicle. This is why I have a manual and went a step further with a Magnum XL on top of that! The self driving cars are coming no doubt about that.

I do have a drag setup in mind that includes some 18's:ford:

Got my tune being worked on as I am typing this. Looks like Lund doesn't trust this e54 flex fuel stuff. We are going to start at 11.5-12lbs of boost. Should be able to get up into the 14-15# area but playing it safe at first. I understand that it is new fuel and they don't fully trust it yet. Will be running some Octanium and a stabilizer in it anyways.
One call into Kenne Bell and Mike@Kenne Bell has some pulleys on the way. Thanks Mike! You guys are all amazing.

Added VMP Triple Pass Heat Exchanger and Mishimoto Coolant Tank to the list of mods.

Starting the install of the Fore fuel system today. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm sure I will figure it out.

Picture of the headers all installed

So does the VMP heat exchanger replace the one that came with the KB?

Yup. Got it from [MENTION=10926]beefcake[/MENTION]. This thing makes the KB unit look tiny. I'm sure the KB was fine for the lower power level but with the heat here I wanted more.

Very nice but damn yet another part to buy !
Does KB not advertise the heat exchanger to be good to over 1000 hp?

I am running a 3.5 pulley with the 20 % lower so battling high IAT's.
I have a trunk mount ice tank but you can only add some much ice for driving on the street .In tank pump never worked well and finally looks like it has died .
Will be going to an external pump .
