Regarding suspension mods.

If I remember correctlyon a stock 05 S1974.6 motor (no nitrous) runningthat Vortech & injection setup with a stock autoLidowent 11.30's (no nitrous & no intercooler) without any suspenisonmods (stock suspenison)running 4.10 gears, 20" street tires.
on 20" steet tires??? must be a hell of a driver...

buddy has a Shelby GT Paxton SC HO kit, meth, 4.10s with ET streets ran 11.3x-11.4x pulling 1.6x 60' and trapping 122-124

tired on his 20's.... spun 1-4......
lol I know (remember auto also)but I believe that was his ETalso he said he felt with DR's 11.0's should orcould be possible.

Sky what platform was your buddys (s197? I take it) Mustang?

Any more details like rwhp & rwtq,psi, type of intercooler if running meth & IC, Paxton 1200 or 2200?

I'll presume you asking me... idk who Sky is....(?)

yeah Shelby GT = S197 I dont believe they were ever made any other model years.... idk the model but it looks just like the Vortech HO kit... Air to Water intercoller. Snow Meth kit... makes 463/411 tq on pump gas 503 race tune...with 11.5 psi(?)

@Stkjock


Just wanted to make sure your talking about a S197 platform per specs on your friends car as I am not a Shelby expert on all the models they made.

Ok thanks for the info, I was curious as to if it was a Paxton Novi 2200 (haven't seen any PN-2200's on a S197's myself)as they are not the same as the Vortech head S Trim as some others say and believe. They are a different head units and are suppose to flow more CFM’s (bigger flute)and produce a little more power than the Vortech. So I was curious to see the power (@ psi) you friend was making running if he was running a Novi 2200 on a S197 4.6. Those numbers are not really jumping out at me (as higher vs Vortech S Trim) at 11.5 but also depends on the AFR and how much timing they were running.

Looking at your dyno, something looks wrong... What kinda fuel system are you running? Your AFR's are WAY too fat up top, and I would also guess that your dropping spark too from how hard the graph drops off there at about 5500 rpms. Any upgrade to ignition?

Also, to anyone who says that LCA's are a waste... with just LCA's and UDP's, I went from a 13.57 bone stock to a 13.22... and most will agree that those UDP's are only maybe .1 of that drop... Took me from a 2000 rpm launch withwheel hopto a 3500 rpm launch with nothing but traction.
What's an LCA? I'm having a blonde moment.

LCA=lower control arm
UCA=upper control arm

After I installed BMR LCA's (tubular with poly bushing / spherical bearing combination) there was a very noticeable minimization of wheel hop.

Much better hook-up off the line. I also replaced the stock rear sway bar with a BMR HD sway bar at the same time. Although I'm not sure how much difference that makes.
