Paxton 17 GT project

[Dom1232]

Going from FBO NA to Ported 18 manifold, VMP BAP, IDX 1050 injectors, 3.6 pulley Paxton, boundary OPG/CS, and awaiting my NGK 6510 gapped to 0.28 to wrap it all up. I have the UPR catch can and JLT intake to install and some vac lines to finish but this is my progress so far! Spark plugs will be here Monday. Anxious to turn the engine over honestly

Looking good. I'd recommend you tighten up that gap to .028

I had the exact same set up on my old 15 GT. It trapped 141 on e85. Lotta fun!

Plugs are in, injectors are in, UPR catch can installed, JLT intake installed. tomorrow I’m cleaning up vaccum lines, installing the BAP, and the rest of the engine covers and turning it over if all goes well and I didn’t fuck anything major up tune revisions tomorrow and dyno in the next week or two!

Only one CEL from pulling the battery, cleared and no further issues or CELs. Fired right up and sounds insane Exhaust note has definitely changed when revving and I’m here for it haha. Sent my first log off and got the ok for WOT to 6.5k, car seems crazy happy. Definitely needs a wash soon. Dyno next week as long as everything goes well with tune / logs. Seeing 11psi (not a manual gauge)

Awesome! I almost went the Paxton route but then last second went with what I knew best and got a whipple. I cant wait to see how it does on the Dyno. Any plans for the drag strip?

drag strip for sure!! But I need a MT drag setup. My street radials aren’t doing it even being 305s nittos first gear is ehhh.... it’s not great even with this being a centri the torque delivery is actually pretty insane even with 3.15 gears. I haven’t noticed lag at all like people describe. 1-3K rpms seem and feel pretty normal for daily driving and then if I want to open it up and go the power is there. Seeing 11-12 psi electronically at 7.7k rpms. I just need to get my IRMCs sorted out I keep seeing p2005,2006,2007. Just added a check valve like another member suggested so the boost doesn’tbleed and blow the IRMCs stuck open
