wmoore Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I just need the stock market to stay steady, or at least not plumet, for the next 15 trading days. Then I need the following to occur: 1. An appointment with Quantum Performance to coincide with my quality conference in Houston. 2. Fair weather for the 2300 mile round trip..at least no severe weather while traveling thru tornado alley. Yes, I may just need the stars to align..being this far north sux sometimes. I hate to drive but, really have no other option. So, here's to hoping it all works out!!!

Dunedindon#5481 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Go and do it. The stock market will come back. It's just cash, maybe lots of it, but still just money. It's the best thing you can do for yourself, car wise. Horsbyt - I must have missed you getting yours done but WOW does it look great. Do you have a thread with more picts of your mods? The blue crossover and valvecovers are very sweet. The wheels and everything just look fantastic. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliments, I like the way she sits inside and out now! Thanks for the post. I guess I must have missed that post. Anyway, looks great and just another choice that we have to upgrade our cars. If you don't want the 500hp or 550hp you can go with the 400hp and be perfectly happy with that choice. Nice numbers and a great setup. WMoore, go for it man. There are so many choices that suit all your desires. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmoore Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I guess the CS6 grille is a NO GO It seems the company that made the mesh grille has closed it's doors. SAI is trying to find a replacement company but, the one exterior upgrade I wanted will have to wait. However, everything else is on schedule for 30 Mar 09!!! :happy feet: With any luck I'll be driving a GT/SC by 3 Apr 09 THanx to Chip's research I'm no longer worried about the 550..

Hardluck33 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 You may want to renegotiate your price...QP supposedly quoted someone just this past week $1000 less for the Whipple 550--check the tech/mod posts. Guy claimed he was on the phone with QP while writing me back and his price was $1k less than what you wrote you were quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a complete stage 3 for my GT500, the tune was wrong the customer service sucks from KB, after taking the car to a Shelby recommended place they got it running. The entire time KB kept emailing that the tune was NOT the problem, then admitted it was, I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND KENNE BELL. But Shelby in Vegas is GREAT.

TKIT B8 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Ford Racing/Whipple Supercharger 400HP 5,500.00 (polished) (just in case anyone is interested) Has anyone with the FRPP blower noticed any difference in handling without the strut-tower brace? Do you know if they are working on a replacement in Vegas? TKIT B8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Chip Beck told me the other day that he had spoken with Ford rep (engineer or professional driver...can't remember) and he could tell no difference driving with and without the strut tower. I still want to keep mine. I read in another thread that either Ford or Shelby was working on a strut tower. Sorry my memory is not any better on this but maybe some one else with a better memory can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbstang Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 The Strut tower brace from the "Bullet" will fit, even the edlebrock supercharger.. The price quote from tasca is kinda high, but then I do all my own stuff, got the whole guage package from CS and did the install in a few hours, cost = $550, my time, looks good! I am a supporter of anyone who can do things themselves unless you go directly to CS.. Too much shoddy work out there.. .02 cents worth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
