herpony68 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, Bud said about 2 weeks, and it is ready already!!! But I can't go get it till next week. I am flying in Good Friday (from NJ) and then doing Mustangs Across America. I got the KB. Best for automatics Bud said. And I must agree-BUD IS THE MAN!!!!! He answered all my questions, smart and stupid, and made suggestions when I was unsure about items. He kept in constant communication, and even sent me pics, but I still can't wait to go see (and drive ofcourse!) Peaches in person!!!!! Aside frm the KB I added the extreme brakes in blue to match the car, and the brake ducts, and the CS-8 grill, but it is backordered. I also had the top rail stripes above the windshield (Bud's idea!) :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CudaFly Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Update!!! :happy feet: Bud "the MAN" has confirmed that my car is in detail as I write this!! YEEEhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Hey Mc, that is great news. As far as I can tell SAI is the only authorized Shelby mod shop that does not dyno the car after putting a supercharger on it. You might want to consider setting up a couple of dyno pulls at a local shop before you leave Vegas. Technically it’s not necessary and chances are everything will be OK but there have been problems with some SC installs (air leaks, electrical connection problems, wrong tune flashed, etc.) that may be subtle driving the car but would be obvious to an experienced tuner/dyno operator. It’s should be less than $100 and only take an hour. The piece of mind of getting it done before you get 1000+ miles away from SAI would be worthwhile. At a minimum you would have a nice baseline (and bragging rights) in your pocket before you hit the road. I’ll bet Bud could point you to a reputable shop in Vegas. Either way congratulations and have fun with it. Hope to see you on the road (or track) someday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Looks Great, get that thing on the Dyno. I agree I would put that hose behind rather than over the top. Congrats, you are going to love it!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herpony68 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Someone asked what I meant when I said top rail stripes. Look right at the top of the windshield below the roof and these are the new stripes I added. since I had stripes put on my rollbars, the stripes looked continuous down the whole car when the top was down except these 2 inches above the windshield. Bud suggested it and I think it looks great! Thansk Bud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could not tell until it was on the dyno. Money well spent IMO. BTW the power and whine of the Whipple are awesome!! You will absolutely love it. The only problem I see with your Whipple is your video on the way home is going to be terrible. With all the extra power, we'll probably just see SAI and then your garage will be the next shot!

Right on SAI!!!! :happy feet: What do all of you think about what the dyno guy said should he mess with the timing and fuel or JUST LEAVE IT ALONE? I would aggree to leave it alone. I would think that Ford racing and Whipple did many tests to make sure this is bullit proof. Would you trust Ford Racing and Whipple or some guy at a dyno shop?
