My name is Chris. I'm new to the forum. Been watching for awhile and finally joined. I've had my 2014 GT500 for a few years now (got it with 5k miles- now at 30k) and I will never part with it, ever. This is my 4th Mustang. My first was a 65 fastback 289 with pony interior; 2nd was 91 LX 5.0 HB, 3rd was 2008 GT Deluxe, and finally, my baby.

I've spent the last few years building my GT500 (Track Pack w Nav). I've put in a few mods:

Engine/Trans: JLT Big Air 127mm carbon fiber CAI w AF (kit), 2.4" Metco pulley, Tensioner Pulley, Tune by B&D Racing (Brian Shapiro), KB Boosta-pump, MGW Short Shifter (just put this in), have NEW Ford Racing Mono Blade TB (will trade for dual 65mm Ford Racing TB or VMP TB). Dynoed at around 700RWHP.

Susupension: Griggs GR40 Super Street Kit (Adjustable Koni Coil Overs, Control Arms, 315 Kit, Relocation Brackets, Watts Link, Torque Arm, Urethane Quiet parts, Caster Camber plates), Stock Wheels with 305/30R20 Michellin Pilot Sport Cup 2s (rear) and 285/35R19 PSC2 front (those tires are SICK for handling)

Exhaust: Roush AB Extreme w rear Fender mods to accommodate tips; Modifications needed to accommodate Griggs Torque Arm.

Aesthetic: Brushed Aluminum Fuel Door, Signed Shelby Dash Plaque.

I'm obsessed with Modding!! Can't stop. My wife hates my car. LOL. I joke that she's the other woman and that's a GOOD THING. LOL. I absolutely love driving my car. Its my Daily Driver and I dream about driving it. It never gets old. I'd love to meet some people on this forum who live nearby, maybe join a local Shelby club and do some HDPE events (planning on it).

That's it! Look forward to HOPEFULLY contributing some valuable info to this forum. I'm not a mechanic and I don't work on my own car. I know the basics, most of which I learned from reading for hours on end on these forums. Still a total nube. Looking forward to meeting or speaking with many of you. Thanks for having me here.

Let me know if any one wants to trade Throttle Bodys (I'll trade my FR mono blade for the twin TB if anyone's interested).

Best,

Chris

Welcome man. I'm glad to hear how much you're into your GT500. I will be purchasing one within the next few months, after my shop is completed beside my house.

You gotta post some pics

Below is the FORD RACING MONOBLADE TB that I'm willing to trade for a twin 65 FR TB or I'll sell it...Its never been used. My tuner didn't want to install and tune for it.

Nice! You'll love the twin 65.

I'd also recommend Whipples twin bore 68mm throttle body. It's anodized black and looks great. Drove like stock on my GT500.

The difference between stock and the Griggs is unfathomable. Driving the corners with the Griggs, it feels like there are no limits and when you reach the limit it just kinda gradually starts to slide and drift, no snap oversteer. Makes you want to keep going and going. You almost forget your in a 3700lb hunk of metal. Sooo much feedback from the car that it makes driving corners easy and fun. A little too much fun. I've kept up just fine with McClarens, Porshe's and a variety of other exotics through these mountains. Granted, my rear end was lovingly drifting through corners whilst their 200k rides were glued, but that's the fun of it! Those cars can drive themselves; Shelbys require drivers. God Bless Carol Shelby.

Haha! Checked out Rnickeymouse's youtube channel. Some good stuff- lots of idiots, cops and crashes- good entertainment. Proof positive as to why I don't drive the "SNAKE" where he posts all his videos. Because every cop in town is there. Leaves a lot of "open" mulholland elsewhere - cop free.
