blueone Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Okay this is going to be the official thread of the build!!! first ill start with the story for yall that havent heard. Im 20 so yes i race my car on the street. i know alot of yall deeply frown on that, but yall were a kid once so yall should understand the temptation!! lol so i was driving down 190 (toll road) and had some races set up. 1st one up was a camaro ss, needless to say i left him like he was standing still. we did like 3 passes and left him everytime!! he was a stubborn guy and thought all motor was the way to go and forced induction was for panze's!! Now for the 2nd guy, he was running an 06 gt with a whipple. i told him what i was running and he perceeded to tell me that he was running a whipple with 9lbs of boost, msd 2-step, suspension, and exhuast. We do 3 passes from 1 from a 40 roll than 2 from a 60 roll and he left me HARD on the first 2 passes (i didnt understand how i was running 12lbs of boost and he was running 9lbs and got WHOOPED everytime. I think i got sand bagged big time) anyways the third pass I ran my car HARD than once I hit about 140 i hear this loud ticking noise and the car shut off and the cab filled up with smoke. I pull over and there's oil and antifreeze all over the ground!! Yep i blew some pistons and threw some rods!! So now that i dont have a numbers matching shelby anymore im going all out on this shelby!! (ps the number matching engine is now going to be a coffee table!! lol) PARTS ive ordered: MMR 950 5.0 short block 9:1 CR ARP main studs ARP head studs MMR oil pump MMR side bolts MMR windage tray MMR STAGE 3 racing heads COMP CAMS stage 3 blower cam with lockouts MMR Billet Steel Timing trigger wheel MMR Billet fuel rail kit for 2005-2008 w/Lines & Fittings and basically all the gasket are getting replaced with high quality gaskets and all the bolts are getting replaced with ARP PARTS that are planned to get ordered: aluminum drive shaft 80lbs injectors ATI dampner with bigger dia. for more moost BGG performance 8-rib kit with 2.9 whipple pulley electric water pump KOOKS LT headers with no cats MMR Street/Strip 7 Qrt.

I'm about to have a Dynotech aluminum DS for sale in about a week, I'll let go for a good price, yes I am very interested in the drive shaft!! do u know how much power they can hold by any chance?? send me a PM when u get ready to sell!! ame='blueone' date='31 January 2010 - 02:17 PM' timestamp='1264976225' post='899158'] I think there is no "LOL" in "Street Racing"; there is no appropriate place for encouraging it, and especially not in Team Shelby. I wasnt laughing at street racing, i was laughing at all the temptations kids have sir!! and I'm definately not looking for engouragement (hence me saying "i know yall deeply frown on street racing"), but i wanted to be honest and tell the story of how the engine blew and give yall an idea and a warning of what not to do with an unbuilt engine with a supercharger!! I dont want to start an heated discussion or anything, but enter kill stories in the search and i bet you'll see alot of street racing stories from very prestigeous people!! If you feel the need to talk to me about street racing than PM me, but lets leave this topic for the engine build comments please!! <--that sounds kinda mean, but i wasnt trying to be just FYI!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-07 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 nice list, hope you have done your home work on MMR. you may have a problem with the 80lb injectors not fitting, most use the 72lb. also KB make a nice 2.8 kit for the 3v that some have made big hp with. don't forget to upgrade the fuel pumps and clutch. you also may want to look at a TT set up, more bang for your buck.

Yea I've heard some bad things about MMR, but I've heard even worse things about livernios. So I didn't know of any different options!! And is 72lbs the highest we can go?? Fuel pumps was upgraded when the supercharger was I stalled and a twin disk clutch was also installed!! So hopefully I'm good there!! (crossing fingers) the big worry I have is the tranny!! Idk how much power they can hold!! And I would love to do the TT setup, but I already spent all this money on the whipple so I don't want that money go to waste!! question I have!! Will the whipple 2.8l bolt on the 2.3l intake?? So I can just buy a new compressor or do u have to buy a whole new kit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowLands Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'd rather let a pack of rabid dogs build an engine than MMR. There are always other choices. Just ask. Since you're in Texas either Strictly Performance in Houston or I could have built you a damn good engine. Why are you having to use the motor mount adapters? I'm guessing they are using either a Teksid block or an iron Cobra block. Good way to squeeze more money out of you. Oh...and you might want to take a close look at the twin turbo system mentioned above. Works pretty well. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's kind of off topic but at what hp & torque will that Ram twin disc clutch hold up to? How's the pedal feel on a twin disc and lastly is your SGT a daily driver or weekend warrior? The website said 1000 hp. The pedal feel was slightly stiffer but only slightly!! and she was a daily driver, but after all this she'll prolly just become a weekend warrior. Interesting Read...Hey Joey......Gary Here.......I could have had Keith build you a strong bottom end like on Michelle's car. sounds like you are having fun. Yes...Manny can tune it. Gary garyy whats up?? you at autorama this weekend??
