RE: Super Charger upgrades Poll
Eddy's car didn't qualify in the end, because of
some of the shelby modifications.
Eddy now has the s/c bug and can't shake it
the
only cure for Eddy now, is to s/c his ride....
good luck Eddy and happy hour at the boost club, is
5-7 on weeknights, 5-10:30pm on weekends

I think Eddy is still working with KB to get his car qaulified. Good luck man!
You are going to be VERY impressed with FI in the beginning and then , trust me, you will want more. My advice is to stick with the bottom end and run 10 psi or so and stay in the 450-460 range for awhile. Once you get the bug to go faster, then give Adam at ST Motosports a call. (I recommend him because he is local and he has some good pricing on rotating assemblies with JE pistons) It's not as much as you would think to do your rotating assembly and that and a fuel upgrade is pretty much all you'll need to make 600 hp.
My other advice is to spend the extra bucks on a new block. It is worth the investment IMO. Sometimes waiting for things like the machine shop to balance and other junk takes forever and if you build on a new block, you don't have to worry about being without a car for an undetermined amount of time cause nobody can garuntee these things when they are building them. Outside sources like balancing leaves it up in the air sometimes.
If you build on a new block, when it's ready, a simple swap and you're good to go.

no benefit at 430rwhp....if you get internals its because you want 450rwhp+. i want close to 550!
2200 for internals. 2000 for install. or build a block BUT your stock block will handle 1000hp so i dont see the point unless you just dont wanna wait

I tried everything i could think of but,in the end, The testing facility said , It had to be a Stock Mustang. The shelby has already gone thru the state of california to make it smog legal with the set up it has now and i could not remove the stuff and make it stock,"Cant do it backwards smog wise, so im out......
I will tell you though that Jim Bell is a super nice guy to deal with and he tried but could not make it happen. The crap part to is that of all the cars that he has tried to qualify so far, mine is the only one with that code on the sticker, so he say's he may just have to go buy a car to get it done.
Thanks for all your help with trying to make it happen also Mark!

well, if I am not mistaken you are getting the great deal from KB right...so I would invest that extra cash into the bottom end just for your piece of mind...but no I am stock bottom end with my current numbers. Will probably change out Drive shaft and TC before going new fuel pump and smaller pulley to ge to 450-475 rwhp...my tranny will be reinforced first before I venture onto the bottom end....IMO....

RE: Super Charger upgrades Poll
for you Eddy, the only logical s/c choice
is the whipple. it's the closest thing to a
genuine ford part out there that i know of.
any other brand imo, would take away some of the
prestige, of the shelby uniqueness

So if you keep it at or around the 425 mark and a good tune, The bottom end is not an issue untill you want to start making bigger power? Im pretty sure that im not going to want to push any more then that because its my daily driver and for me that is well enough for a street car. I use to run a 700Hp car at the track and that power was freakin scary sometimes about half track (Track prep)if you know what i mean, but that was a strip only car. I dont want to be the fastest guy out there, just some fun power once in while.
