Making these newer mustangs haul ass is something we at BBR love to it. I enjoy seeing people drive away feeling good and knowing that their mustang is now beast! I've said it before and I'll say it again..... The coyote / roadrunner platform was one of the best things Ford ever did. It pretty much re-invented the book for how mustangs run. Now it is always recommend to build the car in sections (motor, drive train, suspension. chassie) and I highly suggest this but with modern day technology, it's not needed as soon.
Our local customer and another SVTP member has been running his 2012 GT/CS auto at the track with his Vortech added mustang for some time. He has run amazing times with minor add-ons, stock suspension, and a 20" MT drag radial. Breaking his car into the mid 10s for awhile and still daily drives it. I have to commend him on what he does. :beer:
Now.... when pushing the limits, it's always better to think ahead. So the owner decided it was time to give himself some more insurance which to me is a smart idea. No harm with wanting more esp when track times are important to him.
We had MPR work with us on a good but nothing to crazy bottom end build that will hold what he is doing. With MPR and their amazing reputation, this was something he wasn't worried about and got right on it.
With using his stock crank (come forged), we added a Manley Rod with a Manley Piston and a AP Ring. Kept the bore stock but bumped up the compression a half a point so it will be a 11:5:1. We kept the heads stock because they have proven to make good power without any upgrades at this hp range (anything more we would recommend adding a better valve spring like MMR. Boss springs are okay but only a small step over the factory GT ones)
So once the motor was built, we went ahead and put everything back in the car. Other supporting mods are:
Vortech V3 A2A -not bought from beefcake
stock pulley
80lb Injectors
Vortech Universal BAP
JLT CAI
JLT Oil Seperator
BOSS Manifold
Dynatech D.S.
JBA Longtubes
JBA Off Road X Pipe
3.55 Gears
BMR Adj PHB
Now.... The next part I want to talk about is the JBA longtube headers...
This was the most recent install we have done with the newer design they did to them. I will admit, they have come a long way over the years and for the price.... it's pretty damn good.
Here is a pic of the headers installed:
One key feature that that we really liked about these headers is the V-Band Clamp for the headers to the X pipe.
Now the main issue we had was connecting the X-Pipe to the flow tubes. The X pipe was to long and we had to cut some of the pipe off to get them fit.
Once it was trimmed, we had no issues with anything else.
So once this was complete.... Time to hit the roller. Now this motor was built about a month ago and the owner has been driving it to break it in. It was time to see what she had!
it didn't take long for our tuner Chris Jones to get this car dialed in at all. The sound was amazing with the JBA longtubes going into the GT500 Axle back as it echoed through the building.

Here is the graph in STD RPM.
Now I am also adding the STD graph in MPH to show you all that what I'm saying is in fact true regardless on how people really think. This is why we use mph because their is no difference in numbers.
After this car put down some amazing numbers with very little 17degrees of timing and a perfect 11.4 A/F across the board... we decided to see how she acted on the streets.
Owner taking his car out for the first time with the blower and built motor and getting on it.

In car video. This was a fun quick ride I must say.

Owner will be going to the track tomorrow and we will see how she reacts now....
STAY TUNED!!!
