2022 non-HP to above HP conversion ALL STEEDA

[2021 Mach 1]

Ordered Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Chin splitter, HP splitter, and HP Spoiler. I also ordered some Matte PPF to tone down that gloss a bit. PPF rookie so we'll see... Keeping the cooler inlets and grill stock. I DO NOT like the Mach 1 hood from Anderson.

I hope Air Flow Solutions gets a move on with my Holley Ultra Lo-ram intake porting. Should hear something beginning of next week.

Most people do not like the Anderson Mach 1 hood.

Really good thread, lots of good info on how to move forward on my GT

I think it more suited for 1/4 mile guys. I recently had a "Shaker" Challenger for a rental. It looked cool just not my stye.

it feels just slapped on for no rhyme or reason. I think they could have made a modern day shaker for our car just probably would have required work and some thought. I wish they had taken the time to do a special hood. 350/500 got one. Why not us. ****stomps foot like a preschool child****

Unfortunately Air Flow Solutions / Racers Edge / Brett Barber is taking longer than expected with my Ultra Lo-Ram porting so I’m finding out from my tuner about swapping OPGs and cams for now. I’ll be starting in on the k member swap and want full access to that pan for OPG’s and cam swap. Planning on everything but the Low~Ram, VMP Twinjet 69mm, GT500 injectors, and JLT CAI.

I have started the K-member/OPG’s/Cams install. Im not removing my intake this go around (thanks AFS… guess ill see my Ported Holley Ultra Lo-Ram sometime next month) so I am going to assume that attaching the support brace chains to header studs on each side wont be an issue? I have nuts that can go on behind the link for more security.

The new wheels and rubber…

Let me tell you those steering rack bolts are no joke 1200 foot pound impact would not get it done. I had to take my jack handle and a very stout ratchet. The Steeda K member does not have provisions for your cooler brackets associated with the Mach 1 so you’ll have to improvise an attachment point. Also, mounting points for your brake line have to be improvised. These were both easily taken care of. More picks soon.

I came up with a great idea for the brake line clips, but still brainstorming the cooler braces. I cut the Christmas tree off of my brake line clips drilled a hole through it and zip tied it to the bar.

nd zip tied it to the bar

those look like awful thin zips. And that close to hot oil, I wonder if they won't rapidly go brittle and just shatter. I probably would go for safety-wire or metal zips.

May as well replace those tensioners with the Predator/GT350 ones while your in there. You will notice that the original ones do not have a ratchet mechanism, so if you ever lose oil pressure, you will also lose tension on the chains.

And now what I’ve been waiting for since I purchases back in November…. With 18x11 ET-52 w/25mm spacer there’s about 3/4 of an inch clearance with Apex EC-7RS wheels.

 

[TRDFurgesson]

That looks almost too close to me. What do you guys think?

That's at full droop? The gap should double when on the wheels. Or just buy some 28 or 30mm spacers. OP should have some.
