Tom's 2016 Ingot Silver GT Supercharged Premium PP Build

Date: May 26, 2016

Completed:
- GT350/R Coil Covers - Black - 1,021 Miles

Did a small under hood mod this afternoon. Extremely simple install and I like the look a lot more then the standard gray coil covers. I was never really a fan of the Coyote engine cover so I decided to just pull it off and rock it naked for a while. I think I like it!

Also emptied the Oil-Air Separator after 521 miles just too see what had accumulated. I'd say I drained about 10ml of oil. Guess its working!

Didn't have much going on this afternoon so put the car through its paces on some of my favorite back roads. Very pleased with the current setup. Everything is working great together and for primarily a street car it's a ton of fun! Think I may move forward with the sway bars eventually.

Got something else coming in tomorrow that I'm pretty excited about to say the least!

Grabbed a few new photos:

Completed:
- Valentine 1
- BlendMount R
- MirrorTap MTX Series

Had a little bit of time today to get the Valentine installed into the car. I have the amazon special "PerformancePackage" mount in my Tacoma and I wanted to get something nicer for the Mustang. I can definitely see why this thing costs more! The engineering and fit and finish of this mount is pretty incredible. They definitely took a lot of time to think everything through.

Completed:
- GT350 Track Pack Spoiler

Been MIA for a while with updates. Just enjoying the car! Taking it easy on the little stuff to save up for the more substantial upgrades. Whipple, wheels and tires definitely aren't cheap! Did have a chance this past Saturday to get the Track Pack spoiler installed. Installation was very straight forward thanks to the excellent template provided by Ford. Just have to be carful with that aluminum. It is damn soft!

- SCS - Fingerprint-Free Trunk Strap V3 - Red

This much needed piece came in the mail yesterday and took a few minutes to get it in. Awesome idea that absolutely every S550 owner should pick up! Cant say enough good things about what [MENTION=15102]Nathanbrummer@SCS[/MENTION] and [MENTION=17025]OySmallFry@SCS[/MENTION] are doing. Well thought out products, website, communication and remarkably fast shipping. Still waiting patiently for the V3 Howler Badges to become available!

Completed:

- OEM Ford 2016 Heat Extractors - Black (UA)
- Steeda Hood Strut Kit

Got a few more little guys banged out today. Since day one I've been on the lookout for a set of black 2016 extractors. They were proving very hard to come by. When I finally made the decision that I was going to buy another color and paint, New Take Off listed exactly what I was looking for to eBay. Great luck!

Hood struts are something I feel should've came from the factory, so it feels good to have a quality set in place. I went with Steeda because I like the extra surface area to prevent hood flex. Everything went in very smoothly and I'm happy with the results!

Awesome build Tom. I have the same car but a 2015 and the Recaros. Love seeing the springs with the factory PP wheels and spacers. I have a set of Eibach Pro Kit and spacers waiting to go on but because of circumstances they're still in the garage instead of on the car. Seeing yours REALLY makes me want to get those installed. If you are looking for something new to do...and we always are... I can definitely recommend the JLT Cold Air Intake and SCT tune. Made a huge difference on mine. Your car looks awesome! Team Ingot!!

Enjoy the Steeda hood struts!

Thanks man! Springs and spacers definitely transformed the look of the car! You won't be disappointed. It's been a struggle to avoid ordering the PMAS intake and Lund tune, but I plan on sending the car Whipple in the next 6 months (still making my final decision). I would be running the Whipple calibration and their intake which would then make the PMAS and Ngauge useless at that point. Good luck with your build!

Thanks, David! So far so good! Always look forward to more Steeda crack

I forgot you said you were going with the SC. Save the dough and spend it on that, wise choice.
