Awesome build
My Gradual Build (Quest for a Powerful Street GT500, always hungry for more)
- Thread starter FordTT500
- Start date
Manifolds are coming together nicely and being close to complete on it. Made of grade 321 tubes, burns product.

You're a machine man, the headers look great!
Nice looking headers... great workmanship
Seems a little excessive to me. Ditching the blower and just running the hellion twin kit with an auto would have been all you need. The car is gonna be lazy with a 6 speed plain and simple.
Have you seen the pictures of the 2 turbos and the wastegates sitting right under the 6 speed? Most auto transmissions are bigger than the 6 speed.
Hellions stock picture of the underside:
This stock photo is probably taken with their standard 61mm turbos. I have bigger turbos than that under that car.
I got the k-member so that I can eventually try to relocate the wastegates but the turbos were touching the 6 speed transmission. I did not want to take a chance and buy a transmission and eventually have to take the kit off anyways.

Well that certainly changes my views lol. I thought they put them up front like they do with the 03-04 cobras.
Great workmanship is right. The guys D3 Performance Engineering are true craftsmens when it comes to fabrication. Check out the close up on the welds:
Ballin build here!
Haven't seen your GT500 around town yet though Houston is huge.
Looks awesome.
Looks awesome.
Yes Houston is very big. I do not daily drive my GT500 its it mostly goes out on weekends but lately its been down for this build.
The Hellion kit has a lot of compromises, since it's made to fit in a stock car without cutting or moving anything. Granted my car has the blower on it, but the turbos come online hard at 3,000 RPM or so. My car puts down 700ft/lbs at 3,000 RPM. They would spool sooner with an auto but they definitely work well with a 6 speed.

My street duty wheels just got finished from CCW. They have Mickey Thompson's 305/35/19 ET Streets mounted on them. To bad my car is down for this build. I can't wait to see these on my car.

I use to have 18's but then I got these:
So I sold the 18's to get nicer 19's street wheels for the 19" mt Et street.
So far they only make that wheel in 19 up.

nice, i miss my hellion GT500..........
How is the pro efi coming along?
The car is still in the fabrication phase so the electronics haven't been worked on yet. I Will update with pics once they start on it.
More manifold pictures. Added the spring loaded slip fit connection brackets and manifolds mostly welded up. V-band connection for easy disassembly of the turbo kit.
