I'm a ragtop guy all day. I bought a loaded Race Red '18 GT 10r80 and made it special with some mods. Edelbrock supercharger for 700 rwhp, some rear suspension mods to stop wheel hop, jacking rails and frame bracing to lessen body flexing on uneven roads and a 4-point roll bar for safety and...

I have kept the pill installed. She's still touchy as hell on the street. The Edelbrock nitrous jet is .015. I'm thinking of going down to .010, after I finish the Soler 103 project. And yes, the bigger open element CAI increases your ability to more clearly notice the blower whine. As for...

I finally added up the a la carte costs for a PMAS 120mm open element type CAI. The total is $336.88 and that includes shipping and taxes. Actually, I don't think that PMAS even charges taxes. The shipping is UPS Ground. It's obviously significantly cheaper than the $425 that Juggernaut...

OK, for those of you who have been following my Stage-1 kit upgrade project, I have some good news. Mike Cabrera at Soler Performance ([email protected]) has been working with me on a way to upgrade our Stage-1 kits to one of their 103mm Throttle Bodies. I sent Mike my Edelbrock Inlet...

Less than $10k, installed here in Albuquerque, depending on your installer. Go to Hellion's website and look up their Twin Turbo Street Sleeper kit for your year and model. I know what you mean by getting the Edelbrock at such a low cost. I got mine when they first came out for a little less...

Agree. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone twin turbo. Both Hellion and Armageddon are headquartered here in Albuquerque.

The way that I stumbled onto this was by a simple Google search. One of the results was Juggernaut Performance. They had the modified PMAS CAI kit for those who already had the Stage-2, but wanted a bigger MAF tube and bigger air filter. I intended to use it with my 87mm Bullitt TB and my ported...

OK, at the risk of overposting on this thread and getting ahead of myself, I'm going to try to detail how Stage-1 owners may soon, hopefully, be able to go to a 103mm throttle body at a very reasonable and relatively inexpensive price point. Items required: 1. Soler Performance 103mm...

A friend of mine, Jonathan Blevins, in Oklahoma City, runs a VMP supercharged Gen2 Coyote in an orange/yellow S197 GT500 in the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car, GT Class. He can tell you all about road racing a supercharged Coyote. He's been winning that class off and on for quite a...

With my and my wife's cars, I use the factory warranty exclusively for the first 35k miles. At that point, I go to one of the several Ford Dealer ESP sites and extend. Flood Ford, Granger Ford and Lombard Ford seem to have some of the better deals. I used Flood when I last extended my wife's...

If you have the GT350 Intake Manifold, as I understand it, you should no longer need an adapter for your GT350 TB. Your model TB is analog and the Bullitt is digital for 18+ only. I just finished upgrading the Edelbrock 2650 supercharger on my car from the stock TB to the Bullitt. Had to have...

I agree with an unported stock intake manifold. The Ford adapter, as I measured mine, goes from 87.5mm all the way down to 82mm. So, with that arrangement on a stock intake manifold, you are only getting an extra 2mm in diameter improvement regardless of how large the throttle body is that you...

It's my understanding that one of those solutions have been implemented. I'll try to find out which one...

Soler said that they would either make the adapter or custom drill the base of a blank 103 to fit. No extra charge. I think they have access to a 2650 like ours for doing that. If not, I'll just measure it myself. Fingers crossed...

I ordered the 103mm throttle body from Soler Performance through Teegan Brooks, who was very helpful. With their 5% discount, my out-the-door cost was $486.86. Soler said that they would ensure that their TB would fit the snout on my Eddy 2650 at no extra cost. Out of curiosity, does anyone...

Just the PMAS and the 87mm TB. The tuning adjustment was just for that, not more timing. Remember, what probably woke that TB up so much was having the adapter ported to take full advantage of the entire 87mm...

Yes, AFR is at the bottom. Sorry for the small font. I did put a 15oz bottle of Lucas Octane Booster in a full tank of 91 just to be on the safe side. More concerned about pre-detonation than horsepower increase for dyno runs. The chart I use indicates an estimated final octane somewhere...

Modified PMAS 120mm CAI, Ford Racing Bullitt/Mach-1 Digital Throttle Body, Ported Ford Racing Throttle Body Adapter and, of course, a tune adjustment. My exhaust is Pypes Step-Up style Long Tubes, no cats, H-Pipe Resonator Delete, and stock mufflers...

Well, here's what she did this morning. Nice improvement from last week. The top 2 runs are today. The bottom 2 are last week. For each of those days, one run was cutouts closed and one run open. The cutouts only added 3 to 4 rwhp. The more open less restrictive induction system helped up the...

Probably so. She's not a garage queen. I drive the car everywhere. Thanks for the chart, by the way. Handy reference...
