NEW WORLD RECORD!!!
After four years of research and development, trial and error, and overcoming every foreseeable challenge — one of the cars that started it all has done it again.
2017: Tom entrusted us at Fathouse to take his GT350 to the next level with one of the very first twin turbo packages.
2018: Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine published a centerfold piece declaring Tom’s GT350 as the most powerful in the world at 1143 WHP — on the stock engine.
2019: while still in full street trim, Fathouse owner, Jeremy Howell, took this vehicle on a 60 mile round trip track visit and managed to row the Shelby’s gears through an 8.6 second pass at 163mph. Despite being the undisputed record holder, Tom wanted to elevate the car to a seemingly unreachable territory - the 7 second barrier. Reaching this level required an amount of effort and dedication usually reserved for space tourism.
Since 2019, we’ve substituted the manual gear box for a TH400 transmission while still retaining the factory voodoo flat plane crank. Thanks to optimized hardware and a continuously improved calibration by Corbin of Johnson Tuning, our Partner and Lead Technician, John Lucas, piloted the 1400R to a 7.58 second pass at 187mph. Once again, Tom’s GT350 is on top of the world.
This accomplishment is a direct result of the hard work and dedication from every single member of the Fathouse family and our partners throughout the industry. We want to thank everyone who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into this project. This record is what occurs when you don’t cut corners. When you sacrifice days off for work. When you declare your mission as Speed Built Right.
Congratulations, Tom!
