SC Ruby's Whipple Build

Congrats on MOTM a second time Dennis! Well deserved! Seeing this car in photos is one thing, but to behold it in its entirety up close and personal is quite different. Every little detail done just right! :first::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Congrats man on MOTM SC, I was up at Hillbank the other day and mentioned you Ashton says you come in there a lot. Do you know Mike from there? He worked on my car for the Ford Performance Pack 2.

When you look at this build thread and than look at your own car you might as well be driving a Prius that's what it feels like.

Right, so you didn't modify the RAM air tube, but the cold air intake?

Thanks.

[MENTION=25719]LFCRulesOK[/MENTION] Correct. I modified the Cover to the Whipple Air box cover to allow the air to dump in on top and I also modified the inside of the hood ram air tube as well so it would fit over the Whipple Supercharger. I'll try to find some pictures and post up to show you exactly

[MENTION=21193]RaceRed5.0[/MENTION] Thank you Yeah I know the gang at Hillbank real well. Michael is the one that has pretty much done all the work on my car except for the new 5.2L motor. They are all great people and treat your car better then if it were their own. Always doing nothing but great work. I love all the new Mustangs and they are great cars even stock off the showroom floor

You are right they were very friendly I have had issues with places like that before like they give you the cold shoulder, not these people they were very welcoming and literally took the time to talk to you about cars and stuff which was surprising.

I would love to see your car in person and you can check out mine by no means my Mustang is as modded as much as yours but I like to think I am still unique in my style. If you are ever up at Hillbank let me know, keep the great build coming! :cheers:

That would be excellent, thanks - as I'll be doing the same to mine eventually.

Mike's a great guy at Hillbank. Him and Dennis both have been helping me with some of my TR6060 swap questions while I get my 5.2 built. It's nice to have some helping people in the community especially when I live thousands of miles away from them. I got to meet them both at Fab Fords though. Mike's wife has a badass 69 Mustang too!

They are really knowledgeable especially considering Shelby's are their main business not Mustangs.

Idk if I ever complimented on your build DarkSubRosa but major props man you car looks really good as well as the motor. I love the rims.

New 5.2L Motor Baseline Dyno

Here's the video of the initial baseline Dyno on the new 5.2L motor. Put down 808 Rwhp & 588 tq on 91 Octane w/ Boostane, 3.5" pulley & 12.5 psi. Torque is low due to conservative timing settings as this was the initial and baseline Dyno on the new motor. next step is drop a pulley size to raise the boost to 13.5 psi and see how far we can push the new daily setup. Special thanks to [MENTION=19693]Will@Whipple[/MENTION] for building the new motor and [MENTION=13288]Whipple SC[/MENTION] for all their continued support and incredible supercharger :hail: :hail: :hail:

Dennis, car is amazeballs!

WOW, awesome stuff Dennis. That is great man.
That's almost 1000HP at the crank. Maybe with the new pulley and tune, it will be just about there!
