Talking GT500 Stock No More!!

It took me a little longer then intended due to the wonderful weather we have had recently here in Houston but I got my GT500 back yesterday! It was actually in the shop when the storm hit! For a little while there I was happy I got the gap insurance thinking the car had probably been totaled or drowned by Ike! Well she was safe up high on a lift and never saw a drop of rain. The only delay with getting her back.......no power at the shop!

Since several of you asked me to keep you updated I thought I'd do just that!

Strictly Performance of Houston installed the following:

Pro 5.0 shifter
Bassani X pipe
Magnaflow
3.73 gears
2.6 pulley
Metco Idler
C&L CAi intake
SCT Xcal3 and Dyno tune

The car made 540rwhp on a conservative tune (I was concerned with gas in the area for the present).

Richard did a fine job as always and I am very happy with the sound and work! I figured 540rwhp is enough to cruise around with.......for my slow car!

Great to hear you got her back and in one piece rather than filled with water! I think 540hp will be fine to cruise around with as your slow car.

Congratulations on getting your car back...waiting on it really sucks. At least you have a faster Mustang to hold you over .
What made you choose the Pro 5.0 shifter?

Well I spoke to the chassis builder today and the roll cage is about done. They didn't get power back until Sunday! So hopefully Ol'Blue will be back to the shop next week! The only problem is the guy porting the heads is without power also!! So we haven't gotten the new motor put together yet!
