Ew, you bought it from NWMS. **** those guys.
Looks like a really nice car though, congrats!

I'd second this unless you know who tuned it. Definitely want someone reputable....Lund, VMP, JDM.nice score! first thing I wud do is get that car tuned again before u keep smashing the pedal to put that warm and fuzzy look on ur face! that cud be a costly adventure.....
car aint stock! stock cars can be beat on right off the lot. I wud not ASSume anything. especially since u didn't get it from the guy who built it!
modified cars have modified problems. I wud hate to see u hit high boost and somthn come apart due to a lean condition or somthn else unknown to you.
I'd say your HP guess is pretty accurate and Lund puts out quality tunes, no worries there.Thanks guys!
Alright so how much rwhp do you think the car is putting down? Seems like others with similar mods are right around or over 700?
Every single person who gets a chance to try and initiate a conversation with me wants to know "how many horses brah"
"is it replica" etc...I am not one to want to talk to strangers at a gas station about my car... They are usually always awkward. I figured this would be the least attention getting one of the 3 cars i was deciding on. But they have a good point... How many horses?
It has a 3.25 upper and cracks the 15 bar gauge, I am guessing 16-18lbs... I didn't push it after I passed 15.
I live in Western Washington and am having a hard time finding someone experienced with modular engines
and can tune them like a professional and have a dyno. Does anybody know of someone reputable? It looks like I am going to be learning livewire and datalogging. This is my first modular ford engine but I am pretty experienced with automobiles so I should be able to do the work myself if need be.
I haven't had time to crawl under the car and see what struts/springs or coilovers, and sways its on, I do know it has them and they are adjustable
the sways where red and blue and it had metco billet aluminum control arms. Can't see anything else until its on a lift.
I am trying to order the N gauge with a lund tune. Is this the best option for our cars? Also does the n gauge fit in a pillar pod instead of the vent or window suction mount?
I haven't put more than 150 miles on the gt500 since I bought it and 100 or so was from the drive back. It's not my daily. I know how important a set of gauges and proper tune are for it. I am patiently waiting for it to get setup than the beast is ready for what I am about to do with it.
I want 4:10 gears for brutal acceleration for roll racing, this means a lot of stress on the axle and driveline especially with drag radials on it. While I am in there I might as well upgrade the axle so what would be the top of the line shafts, thirdmember etc... Should I do a carbon fiber driveline with a loop?
future bolt on upgrades over the fall/winter...72mm l&m throttle body, larger injectors, change the 3.25 upper to something smaller that can make more than 16-18psi and a couple other bits and pieces...Would you guys see any problems running this setup with stock internals? Should I go all out and build the internals? Try and crack 1000rwhp on pump fuel? Why? Because race car... haha
Never seen a dual tank setup and its not really necessary. You can get multiple tunes to run E85, pump, race gas etc. It's not big deal to switch over. Just run your tank dry, fill up with whatever you want and load the appropriate tune.You guys are bad ass thanks for taking the time to type that out I respect that. It was very valuable information and will be used.
Can we run multiple tunes say a 92 octane tune and an e85? I assume the fuel can't be mixed in one tank so what if we ran a multiple tank setup? Has it been done? The reason I ask is because I only have one station that offers e85 and it's 20 miles away... So it's not worth it. I can't even get 93 octane only 92 which is another reason I am not driving it until it's dialed in. Another thing that is going to go is the stock tank unless I can use it as a secondary and fill it with e85, its getting a fuel cell that's another benefit to the gt500 is the trunk space, it's perfect for a fuel cell and putting a put more weight over the rear axle. Looking forward to building this up and being a part of the forum. I might even get a youtube channel going. I don't know why I haven't done any of this years ago I have had so many awesome vehicles over the past 14 years. Hard to do all of it when you work 60 hours a week. Thanks guys.
