8 rib ac pulley
8 rib p/s pulley

ordered, but still waiting on 6061 plenum, rest of 8 rib kit from gi joe, and upgraded SI trim w/ 2.95 blower pulley 8 rib

This monday I'll find out if I can get away with not ripping the motor back apart to flycut the pistons, here she sits:

Thanks man, I'm still contemplating meth but I think I may just see what she lays down without it for the time being

Soldier GT

no problem..i hope to hit 500-550 next summer and then 600 by summer 2012. this sh** is addicting bro...

97stanger

haha nice man, good luck, how do you plan on hitting those numbers? whats your setup?? the bug has bit me ever since I have owned the car in 2006 lol

Got everything I ordered except the blower back from Vortech





complete 8 rib kit ( I already have IW 10% OD crank pulley and vortech is putting on the 2.95 8 rib blower pulley while doing the SI upgrade), Accufab 75mm throttle body, 6061 plenum, poly motor mounts


well, tried to degree cams again last night...still getting contact. When I use the solid lifter is when I get contact, I am having the solid lifter machined to the proper size though because when I use the solid lifter I am getting a reading of 568 lift, which the cam is only supposed to be 547...hopefully this is what is throwing everything off, but if after i get this solid lifter correctly machined to the proper spec I still have contact, I'm thinking about taking it to a mustang shop around here and having them look at it....I just done think I should have PTV Contact with these cams....CMS stage 3 blower cams w/ stock valves and 18cc pistons.

That plenum looks sick boss! Sick sick build! Cant wait to see more progress!

Thanks bro!

I'm pretty sure that if modifyinig this solid lifter to the correct size doesnt allow me to turn the motor over, and if I take it to a mustang specialty shop and they say I have PTV contact, I'm just going to sell these CMS stage 3 blower cams and go with the CMS stage 2.5 blower cams, all of my internals are balanced to the gram and I really dont want to have to balance internals again if I have to get pistons flycut

Sounds like a PITA! This may be a stupid question but are you running adjst. cam gears? Im still fairly new to mod motors.
