That may not be a bad route to go, considering I want to run your closed lid CAI and Qseries front end!

I mean honestly, I was considering them just while I was building the car, then swap to lund once I got my intake manifold and injectors for flex fuel.

Well, I finally made the jump from S197 V6 to S550 5.0. Got a new to me 2016 Base MT82 car with 33,000 on the clock. This is Mustang #3 for me, and my first V8. So far I love the car, but I'm already looking to do a few mods. Ultimately I'd like to be full bolt on with a lund flex fuel tune...

I remember watching a documentary on some of the legendary JDM tuning shops from the late 90s-early 00's. They used to drill a few small holes in the frames of cars and pump them with spray foam to stiffen them up, but cars were much flimsier back then.

No worries, you said "thats not something you do for a street car" so I took it as you saying it was unstreetable. But yes, strokers, heads, cams, etc, aren't exactly what you'd call beginner friendly, even if a shop is doing the work. And OP: I'd take the mustang over the speed3 or the GTI...

Errr... a stroker doesn't suddenly make your car a monster and totally unstreetable. Hell, in most cases you will notice no difference in the cars manners aside from having more power to play with. People have been stroking, and de-stroking street cars for decades, even OEM's will stroke or...

supersix motor sports has ported heads, cams, and a stoker kit.... can't get hit with CARB bullshit if they don't see anything unusual under the hood ;) lol

No need to swap injectors, the intakes aren't moving THAT much air. Your stocks will be fine.

Supposedly they are working on an 8 rib set of pulleys. It does look MASSIVE sitting on top of the 3.7, and I love it haha. From what I understand this is the first start up... like ever. So I'm sure there are plenty of kinks to work out. I will agree that it probably won't fit on an S550...

I don't think you can get away with stock injectors even on 5psi, to be honest. Maybe see about picking up some used 5.0 injectors?

I emailed sprintex a while back asking if they had any interest in making a cyclone kit, this was the response I got: " We had this in mind some time ago but it keeps on being placed on hold due to other more pressing projects. As it is not possible to cover every platform even though of...

I'd go straight for an intercooled setup, if you don't you'll just want to do it later. May as well do it the first go around. It'll run cooler and make more power anyway.

A bit of insight from the s197 camp, if I may. There is a small group of us who have been chasing this dream for a very long time, but haven't been able to make it happen for various reasons (mostly they were using the M122 as a starting point, rather than the M90, shoot for the moon, right...

So, if any of you went from a second gen s197 (11-14), and I'm sure plenty of you did, to an S550, how did your insurance change? Up, down, or stay the same? Granted, I know all insurance is different, and it varies person to person, company to company, and location, but I figured I'd ask anyway...

I've drooled over Steeda ever since the very first pictures surfaced.

yeah, a lot of Terry's problem is he is a one man show, and he got flooded with requests all at once lol. But he's a good guy and knows his stuff

Absolutely, I'll be focusing on the 11-14 cars first, as that is what I have. for the 15+ cars we will have to figure out the whole speed density situation.

I'm eventually going to make my own, but it is a ways out. Been working on designs for months. I'll probably make the prototype out of sheet metal,then if it does show gains like I want it too I'll figure out a way to have it 3d printed so it will A) Be better to look at and B) I'll be able to...

Same, no problems with my MT-82 and I beat the absolute hell out of it. 4k rpm launches, 7500 rpm shifts for all 45k miles of its life, and it has never batted an eye. Imo the transmission is fine, and a lot of the complainers are either parroting a forum post they read one time, or there is a...

Considering the 3.5TT is within ~10 lbs of the 5.0, weight is not a valid argument. imo
