[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 15017095, member: 124691"] So, up first we have an 8-Rib conversion kit from VMP Tuning. [IMG]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/12002178_993616200660762_1477788368381633454_n.jpg?oh=9c66e53b3e8ed7e3f1a5b0bf129bdbbf&oe=5699159E[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/10418486_993983290624053_7996729578682006444_n.jpg?oh=992ded6593b0c1ebe1a1793efe7c8bf3&oe=56A707D3[/IMG] I acquired various sized pulleys. I really want to keep the Nitrous shot (not being used yet) to a 50-75...for cooling and launch purposes, not specifically for max power purposes. The bottom pic, above, is the new Low Profile 20% stiffer low profile tensioner. This helps with clearance, and belt stability when using the larger overdrive pulleys like the 15% pictured on the right of the pic. I plan to run the 69mm Upper / 15% lower to start. Here, we have some Zeitronix goodies that I purchased from Lund Racing. [IMG]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlt1/v/t1.0-9/12036629_994232767265772_2746579888024186843_n.jpg?oh=5274681239d665aa42693ededce5b578&oe=566952EE[/IMG] I will be using this in conjunction with my Lund Racing NGAUGE to have all of my data in the logs from/with the ngauge. Fuel Pressure Oil Pressure Boost Curve EGTs Additional Failsafe Wideband/AF I plan on pushing things hard...so the more data the better! Rey@Juggernaut Power hooked me up with a smoking deal on a set of these Borla Longtube headers. Tracking shows these being here Tomorrow. [IMG]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12004861_993781277310921_47315943028405260_n.jpg?oh=524c1966670cc9f05ee715b793842eef&oe=56656CE1[/IMG] I am not so sure the LT headers will improve the power and performance substantially, to be perfectly honest. What they will do though, is make pushing more boost and nitrous a little more effective, and safer, etc. The less heat, the better! The great folks over at Lethal Performance have a Reische 170 Stat coming my way. [url]http://www.lethalperformance.com/shop-now/vehicle-selector/ford-mustang-v8-gt/2015-ford-mustang-gt/cooling/thermostats/reische-performance-ford-50-170-performance-thermostat.html[/url] Same with the headers, this is to make the combo more effective and safer at higher cylinder pressure levels. Now that I am going to be pushing the car much harder, I went ahead and upgraded my rear tires. I took the MT II DR in 295/45 off, in favor of these sweet new MT "R" Radials, in a 305. [IMG]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/12003358_994558360566546_5680971063474314287_n.jpg?oh=44d690e2f8ee029e5fee73b84605f1c7&oe=566E0FFE[/IMG][IMG]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/11822845_994560083899707_4154619968117993996_n.jpg?oh=f9803aa60b8459e652f723cb60227496&oe=56A91E28[/IMG] I went a 1.44 previously on the other tires, and suspect they can hold 1.30s...but I think these new tires will be much more consistent. I also wanted to get a taller tire, so I can experiment with crossing the traps in 3rd gear ----(at 8500rpm) Of all that said, I will be honest - my wife is starting to notice this stuff. I may have to slow it down temporarily. I may pick her up a Ford Explorer EcoBoost (and tune it!) to hold her off for a bit. More updates coming soon!!!! Be sure to come to NMRA Bowling Green. It should be a great time. Saturday night, I have a race lined up with the Watson Racing car. [/QUOTE]
