JeffJ Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I got home this weekend from lots of boxes. Once I get it all put together I'll post my thought on it all. Hopefully it should get off the line pretty good now. Remember all that keep it stock stuff? I think I'm starting to get beyond that a bit now. I'm going from a 3.8" Paxton Pulley to a 2.65", 3000 TCI converter, TCI ratchet shifter, 4.10 gears, dual 63 mm throttle body, and some other stuff. I also found 6 used GT500 wheels for my BFG race tires to go over the Brembos. I'm out of control now I'm pretty sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Way cool. want to know your thoughts on the TCI converter and shifter when done. How about the intake tubes, are they done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Should have the intake tubes next week. Here's some shots Brian sent me of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I got the tranny pulled, put in the shifter and converter and got it all re-assembled today. New tubes are on, supercharger pulley, 63mm throttle body. So it's getting there. Should get the gears in this week. Then to the tuner. It will idle and move around right now, but need to get it tuned to be driven. With the changes, the computer is really confused and will stall the car if I give it much throttle. So should be ready pretty soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARALD KELLEY Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Nice, like the throttle body. Did it come that way or was it etched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Nice, like the throttle body. Did it come that way or was it etched? Kind of a mystery. It came as an option from what I understand, on the 630 hp Super Snake. It's etched pretty deep. This is what I'm told, but can't find another one like it in any pictures. I know it came off a Super Snake, but it's dual 63mm, so certainly not off the 750hp. Edited February 20, 2012 by JeffJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Did "some other stuff" include the ford racing installation kit w/the 4.1 gears? No, I'm having a buddy put in the gears and he has all that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackout Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 No, I'm having a buddy put in the gears and he has all that stuff. Got it, thanks. Good luck on the install...I envy your upgrades! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Jeff, may want to consider the shock tower caps from Shelby. Would look nice with the polished throttle body and Paxton. You will be in Vegas and could put them on before the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Car is at Rizza Performance here in Denver, getting the gears installed and they have a brand new Dyno. The tuner there is named Rob Williams who worked with John Lund for quite some time. So hopefully it will be a runner later in the week! Getting the proper tune to altitude here will be the best. I can't wait to see what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC2873 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 looks like fun! Can't wait to see what results are from the tune and of course, the seat of your britches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well, for those that may not have seen the other thread on my luck Saturday. Apparently that was the wrong combination and I now have rods out the side of my block. The FRPP Aluminator shortblock and FRPP CNC heads are now on their way. That wasn't much fun, specially right before the bash. Oh the horror!! Well it should be a real screamer now when done....... link to other thread with pictures of the carnage: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/73360-one-less-gt-h-headed-to-vegas/page__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
