maqueswell Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hello my fellow Beast Owners, I have made the decision to install some bolt-on modifications to my Beast. Below are the mods I plan on installing; Lethal Performance H-Pipe Ford Racing Twin 65mm Cobra Jet Throttle Body JLT CAI Steeda 2.65 Pulley Metco Motorsports Aux Idler Pulley Kit or Steeda Mustang Belt Tensioner (any USEFUL opinions between the 2?) I have several questions, has anyone else modded their Beast with these bolt-ons and experienced any issues? I want to save my OEM tune, do performance shops save them for you (I know it's a question for my performance shop) ? All this tuning is new to me. Thanks...Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedrx Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How did you settle on this combination of mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFreak Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I had (about 2 years) pretty much the same setup with 0 issues. My setup was: 2.65 VMP upper 10% IW lower JLT 127 intake tube CJ65 TB 90mm Aux idler Thump tensioner I would recommend the thump tensioner as it's so much easier to use (1/2" drive (instead of 3/8") and more range).

maqueswell Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How did you settle on this combination of mods? Hello Speedrx, I did a lot of research between multiple SVT, Shelby & GT500 forums, settled on popular product/manufactures and performed more research on the above parts/mods that I want installed on me Beast. Is there anything wrong with any of the choices I made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Thanks Phil, What I need to do is call my performance shop and ask if they can save my OEM tune before implementing the custom tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey DaFreak, Thanks...question, what is a "10% IW lower" (still learning the acronyms)? Did you install the 90mm Aux Idler AND Thump Tensioner?

2010KonaBlueGT Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hey DaFreak, Thanks...question, what is a "10% IW lower" (still learning the acronyms)? Did you install the 90mm Aux Idler AND Thump Tensioner? It's a lower (crank) pulley that is 10% larger than stock, thereby spinning the supercharger faster for more boost.

ingram4868 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you get a dyno custom tune you will not have a copy of the original tune. You would have to take the car to a Ford dealer and reflash the original tune but then you would have to remove all the performance items also. You should just consider that the parts and custom tune are permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
