I have a red with white stripe 2007 gt500 rollover car. The airbags did not deploy because there was no head on impact. Prior to the accident, it had went 9.778 seconds at 144.32 mph in the 1/4 mile. This is a highly modified gt500 that was the fastest gt500 that I was aware of in the midwest...
Hi all. I read on Kenne Bell's website that Jon Lund had tuned Mark Meiring's GT500 to have 945 RWHP with 15% remaining fuel. Has anyone reached 1000 RWHP with the competition boost-a-pump, or is about 950 RWHP about the limit on a stock fuel system and 80 pound injectors?
Thanks for any input!
Hey guys,
Has anyone fit a 3.6LC Kenne Bell under the new versions of the Super Snake hood on a 2007-2009 GT500?
I realize that the Super Snakes that Shelby offers does provide a 3.6 option, and they have to be able to get the superchargers under the hood. Having spoken to Shelby's...
Hi Guys,
I have been searching online, and I am wondering if anyone knows a credible reference point to find out what specific rods, rod bolts and pistons are utilzed in a Ford GT. From what I have read, I believe they utilize a Manley H-Beam rod and ARP 2000 bolts. Can anyone verify that...
Saw this article today. For a $100,000 price tag, you can get a 2013 Super Snake with the wide-body option and put 355's on the rear.

As I continue to attempt to get my ET down as low as possible, I am becoming more and more serious about weight savings. I am currently running a Cervinis Type IV Ram Air hood. I like the hood, but it is heavy and therefore not ideal for drag racing.
A friend of mine has been encorouging...
I am researching the potential of doing an engine build down the road, in order to take maximmize and take full advantage of my current set-up. I noticed that it seems like quite a few people choose a compression somewhere in the 9.5:1 to 10:1 area.
Stock compression is 8.45:1, which has...
Went to Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove one final time before the end of the season. My previous best had been a 9.955, and I had hoped to show further improvement after raising the boost on my stock motor.
My friend, Kali (KG/Eleanor), came up to hang out and witness how my car...
Anyone have an opinion at what 1/4 mile ET level a person can expect a GT500 to no longer be street-able?
To put it another way, what is the fastest (in terms of ET) you think a supercharged GT500 can go at the track, that is also driven on the street?
I realize that this is a pretty...
Does anyone know what the record is for the fastest 1/4 mile ET for a supercharged 2007-2009 GT500 with a a stock engine (stock iron block, stock 8.45:1 compression, stock heads, stock pistons, stock cams, etc.)?
I have looked over the fastest 1/4 mile chart, and some of the 9 second times...
Drove to Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove Wisconsin yesterday. Changed out the tires and ran 2 passes. The place was packed with trailer cars and race cars that were index racing.
On the 2nd pass, I finally accomplished my goal of a 9 second pass:
60 ft: 1.515
330 ft: 4.257
1/8...
I am having QA1 Double Adjustable Shocks put on in the rear of the Shelby tomorrow, along with QA1 springs. This will be my first time ever having an adjustable shock, and my front suspension will remain stock for now.
I searched the forum tonight, but oddly, it doesn't seem like the search...
From viewing the weight savings threads, it seems like you can shed some decent weight off the front of the car with Strange brakes.
Does anyone have any experience with how the car stops with the Strange front brakes and skinny tires up front? Will the Strange brakes have any trouble...
I have been making an effort to go to the track nearly each week since September to see if my car can get to the point where I want it: to run a 9.99 second pass at 140+ mph.
With the exception of last Sunday (October 16th), I have managed to post a new personal best every time that I have...
