clark17357 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Even though I have the KB, Bud sent me photos of my car with the Paxton on it and I have to say that I do not think anything looks better on our cars than the Paxton (and I love my KB). Check this out. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyguy470 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Those of you with the paxton. How do you like it? can you post dyno slips? Thinking about leaving her at Quantum after Texas Roundup My understanding is Paxton is having some issues with the EPA right now and they are not being installed at SAi until they figure out what to do.

I called Paxton and asked them what answer was as I was concerned that mine would not be smog legal. I was told they could still put them on the '07s but the '08s have not been CARB (California Air Resource Board) approved. When I spoke with Bud I understood that they had suspended installation altogether.I may have misunderstood that it was all and not just the 2008s.

nite Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Can't go wrong with Paxton. No dyno/track runs yet, but Brenspeed's tune estimates 470hp/430tq (and it feels like every bit as much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark17357 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 can the brake ducts and driving lights still be installed with the paxton intercooler? Yes. It is only the KB that nixes the driving lights. But the driving lights are not terribly functional from what I hear but, not having them, I do not know for sure.

I see that your intercooler is installed up in front of the condenser rather than between the engine and the back side of the radiator. . . was that something that was done by SAI? ? ? Is that a difference in your particular install??? Or was there a change to the kit since yours was installed?? Thanks - Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with this setup but it's not the same as the Shelby Paxton kit with the air/water intercooler (with a charge cooler) . Performance will be better (30-40 HP?) with the air/water intercooler. I installed the '07 Shelby Paxton kit about 17 months ago but I'm pretty sure it's the exact same kit they sell today. I use the car as a dialy driver and at the track, it's a great setup. See this link for pictures of the install: http://home.earthlink.net/~cudafly/Shelby/page1.htm Here's the dyno sheet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I see a GT/SC fender stripe I have the Paxton and love it. When I can afford it I want to have it dialed in a little more by a certified Paxton shop with a dyno.

Thanks - Trevor Hi Trevor, Cuda's correct, mine the is the air to air intercooler, which is also self lubricated (no tapping for engine oil). I bought the kit from Brenspeed (great guys!), which included the tune. Installed it myself and it runs like freakin rocketship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 How does the Paxton sound? Can you hear it in the car? If yes, when (what RPMs)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I hear mine at idle and when I let off the throttle. Otherwise I don't hear it over the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyguy470 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 can the brake ducts and driving lights still be installed with the paxton intercooler? As you can see, I do have the driving lights (OK, maybe you can't, but I do), but it appears there is something directly behind the air intakes for the brake ducts.
