New Mods update

Well, as most of you know I've been waiting on a few goodies to arrive for my car and well, They're Here!!!

Installed a new 08 style balancer, C&L CAI, 2.59" blower pulley, 90mm idler, new tunes, and a set of FRPP springs front and rear. I've decided after it's maiden voyage that someone replaced my car with a giggle machine. Cause, I'm still giggling like a kid after that ride. Haha.

I also bought a set of 2010 SVT Shelby wheels to begin the transformation on the exterior. Waiting on my good buddy Leonard to get some free time so he can mount em up for me. After that the blue stripes are going away and will be replaced with some custom vinyl work to accent the new wheels.

Had a blast helping you David....I mean how many places can a guy get peed on by a dog anyways? not many...

Other than that....install went smooth and car screams....video of the test run below. (note to self: need to hold the iphone sideways when recording for widescreen next time)

Awesome! Its mod fever around BMMC the last few weeks!!!!

Damn good upgrades David, glad they came in today, i was getting tired of waiting on them, lol... we were walking out the door when ups showed up...

Gotta get ready for car season ya know.

Definutely... still need to fix my vac leaks and get my wheels redone... gonna start stripping them this week...

oh oh oh.... I dropped in a K&N air filter in the stock air filter box. I feel the horse power too. HE HE HE HE! Seriously... I did put one in. I needed a new filter anyway.

Congrats Mr. David. What tires are you using on the new wheels?

I'm going to be using my existing tires for right now. I plan to change the back out to a set of M/T ET streets pretty soon. (hoping to do a set of 373 gears soon) after which drag radials will be necessary to have any traction on the street.

I'm confused I thought the 2010 SVT wheels were 19" and your existing tires are 18".

The vert wheels are 18" which is what I bought.

my bad sorry forgot about the verts.

Yeah it's weird how they did that. Not sure why? They even have a slightly different finish as well. It's puzzling!

Congrats David....worthwhile mods for sure. Had a blast on the test run hehe

Couldnt stop giggling

Those '10 wheels are going to look great....very unique

yup... and if for some reason you DON'T like them... pass them my way...

Sure. Just need a small deposit. Say $850?

Anyone else considering the Shelby 6 speed shifter? I'm strongly leaning towards getting this as it's superior to the stock shifter.

Have you looked into the MGW shifter?

NOpe sure haven't.

I will be going MGW....its an amazing piece.

MGW here when I get to that part on my mods list.

It's looks very similar to the Shelby shifter. I'm confused now.

What's the price difference?

They're almost dead even. I can get the Shelby one for like $350.00. I've only heard great things about it. A lot of people claim it's the best GT500 Shifter available.

Hmmm. I'll need to research a little more.

Hey btw Joshua are u joining us at the kicker bash show? We'd love to have ya there.

They have tested the Shelby up against the MGW....people commented on how similar they are BUT they biggest difference is that MGW allows for more adjustment.

Most choose the MGW

I like the stock shifter myself, never had any problems power shifting it. Just scared of getting something notchy and not like it, would have to drive someone else's to judge.

I would not advise anyone to let David test drive their car haha
