Paxton then brakes then suspension, no no no suspension then brakes then

Jarrod's right. You should trust him. Nobody know about blowing more than Jarrod...

hahahaha too bad we can never understand anything he's saying......what's that you said jarrod. sounds like you have something in your mouth

SALOON!

Hey guy's this man is going to need more brakes before that blower. I would be glad to get him some ceramic one's cheap if you guy's want to put them on then you all can see and feel the difference just some high quality pads make with stock calipers and rotors. I will see what a demo set will cost maybe free if I can swing it and you are welcome to use the shop after hours as well (Sat afternoon or Sundays) after my back surgery I am not quite able to do it my self yet. I have been impressed with mine so far and at Hallet they have held up way better than I expected.

I would love to be the guinnea pig on those pads George. I am close to needing brakes anyway. I figure new pads with some stainless lines should help quite a bit.

Will the ceramic pads cause damage to the stock rotor? Too harsh?

Also... are they effective when they're cold? I know there is a trade off with race pads. They work great once you get them up to temp.

Well I am now officially supercharged with a brand new Polished Whipple and 4.10 gears. The only issue we had was a corrupt tune from Ford Racing which delayed us till morning but all in all a good experience. It was running late so I had to schedule the Dyno for December when I go back down.

I have never driven a car that could peg the RPM limit like these supercharged cars can. Even with my dads corvette (400 HP) seemed like there was time to shift.

WOW!!! Thats awesome....I hate to demand this...BUT I need pics Kevin!

Oh and arent you glad you listened to us and went with a twin screw....THERE JUST SO DAMN FUN! and holy hell they feel great on the street!


So lets here your opinion....is it everything you'd hoped....I only ask this cause i have to live vicariously through you as I dont have the coin to buy one hehe....details man details!

Wow! Congrats Kevin. So what was the final deciding factor on the Whipple? Time to upgrade the braking system I suppose. LOL Thats a good problem to have. Cant wait to see some pics!

Great to hear Kevin!! Sounds like you are happy with your purchase! I cant wait to see pics!! And looks like its time for the Q-Tips and detail spray for under the hood. I bet that supercharger looks sweet standing alone on the motor!

Who did you have install it may I ask? Also if I may Pry...since Im trying to budget for a supercharger....how much out the door and installed did it all cost you? If you want you can PM me that answer.

Stopping can be a problem. Are you looking into brake kits?

Very nice Kevin, Cant wait to see it. Sounds like the group at Grand Prarie are top notch. Congrats again!

Awesome. Very nice!


Are they in Tx?

Also check with brenspeed for price and install.He will do the same deal.it might be away to play them against each other.

Yes Grand Prarie is in Texas....suburb of Dallas. Went there to get the car signed by Jack Roush. They definitely have some nice cars there!!

What did they charge you for the install of the supercharger?

Here are a couple of picks.

Joe bought a couple of Whipples from a failing performance for d shop in Houston so the deal I cut was $6100.00 + tax. My receipt actually shows $350.00 in labor but I think that was for them internally so the lower price would work.

Kevin thats just awesome. I love the polished look. I also never noticed that you had the stripes sone on the underside of the hood as well. Looks great!

Med's Jarrod Med's.

Kevin I am like a kid in a candy store... looking at your car makes me want to max out the credit cards and put one of my kids on Ebay.


That is one beautiful car and I cant wait to see it in person. Good lord...I wont be able to sleep tonight.... will be to busy dreaming of Eleanor... I can here the them some on Gone in 60 sec when he is jumping over the cars on the highway... ok will shut up know.

Down justin Down!!

I cant help it.. that car is B....E....A....Utiful

Thanks Justin, I do have a blazing credit card bill but I decided that I would bite the bullet on what is going to be the biggest add on for me hands down. The other items on the wish list are things I can hide from the Wife or slowly add over time.

I was surrpised that my suspension seems fine for everyday driving and will not be a pressing requirement for upgrading. I can basically upgrade the suspension when the time calls for it. Right now I am working on the Dynamat so I can control some of the noise coming into the cab. Once that is complete I will move on to the sound system which will look close to this design but facing the trunk and not the back seat.

https://i.servimg.com/u/f78/12/88/90/65/idea110.jpg

I have designed at least 10 different layouts for 2 alpine PDX amps (pictured) and one 10 inch sub but I can't seem to settle on one idea. As long as this design can be hidden/tucked back into the seat via a fiberglass enclosure then I am happy with it. If it sticks out to far then I will go back to the spare tire sub location. I want people to look in the trunk and say Wow, he leathered the trunk and everything else be stealth.

Or they could say why in the hell would you leather wrap your trunk interior but that would be OK as well.

That looks awesome...I went with the Schoche Stealth Sub box that bolts to where the factory Shaker 1000 sub bolts to in the trunk. Its tucked away over the right rear fenderwell. I bolted my California 1000W amplifier to the backside of the passenger rear seat. That way I can pull the seat down from inside the car and mess with the Amp. I also have a remote gain control right next to my right knee in the drivers side.

I went with flow masters and Pypes mid pipes for my sound system. I'll save the boom boom stuff for the Edge.

I hear ya. Investing in concert sounding accoustics is not for everyone. There are times when I am on the highway and I will hear an old song that I use to jam out to and want to really hear it. Not the booming Rap but music like AC/DC Hells Bells where the bells roll across the sound stage or the boom of Thunder in thunderstruck. Right now my thunder is a rattling door speaker so it is more static than thunder.

I'm all into it... I just like the motor music in the Mustang and Cobra. The Cobra doesn't even have a radio. For that matter... it never will.
