new stang owner old ford lover

[06silverbullet]

well a week ago today i bought my very first ford mustang. it aint no sissy ass 3.8 and it aint a pansy automatic 4r70w tranny. its a 2006 gt premium bought it used for dirt cheap. its got the 18" bullet rims the shaker 1k watt sound system, the person before me put a custom exhaust system on it and it sounds very nice not loud but really great tone to it. i'm familiar with the 4.6 mod engines as i own a tbird as well as a 96 v6 explorer. anways here's some pics :banana:

[RedRyder]

welcome!

[blackstang06]

Welcome :cheers:


Are those mid-mufflers that i see ?

[Nicksbluestang]

Welcome to this motherfucking site!!!

Its a good thing you dont have a pussy ass 3.8 or no sissy 4.0. :laugh:

I like your style. :cheers:

[06silverbullet]

eh frankly if you have a 6 cylinder in your mustang it better be a straight 6. plus the only thing i like about v6 is when i get next to them push the clutch in a tad give it a nice little rev and keep on goin.

[Blanco32v]

nice car :cheers:

how old are you?

---------- Post added 08-31-2009 at 10:48 PM ----------

even if it was an auto, it wouldnt have a 4r70w btw ;)

[OttoCobra]

WELCOME !! :partay:

welcome to our newest 3V member! :cheers:

The 4-V peeps won't hold it against him, I swear.

Pics of the "old" fords available? Or did you just mean to give us the 'bird? :lol2:

[06silverbullet]

the bird was the "old ford" did i mention it only has 90k original miles

[OttoCobra]

the bird was the "old ford" did i mention it only has 90k original miles

LOL, it is super clean. Is it an AOD/E trans?

[1EVLPNY]

Welcome to the site, nice GT you got :cheers:. Oh yea 2v FTW :D

[Enorbit3]

welcome to the site...my first car was a 1996 Tbird LX with 3.8 and auto....i loved that car...it was like a couch...nice pickup on the 3V GT...looks good....if u dont mind me askin, how many miles and how much did u pay for it? my girl is lookin for a car and really wants a stang.

[06silverbullet]

the tbird is very clean except the leather. its old and is cracking badly on the driver seat other then that its mint. it has a 4r70w just like the stangs did of that year. aod just like the stangs was primarily only used on 5.0's and 3.8 pushrods. 2valvers are nice but damn are they expensive.

the 3v i payed 23(19,995 before financing) after financing and it only had 20k miles. it was ford certified so all the fluids where changed new brake pads and brand new tires. the tires where huge in my eyes . nice new geforce bfgoodrich zr rated tires mmm mmmmm

[OttoCobra]

Hope you can make it out to our meet this week. We'll be at Tommy's in Monrovia on Wednesday night. :partay:

[06silverbullet]

Welcome to the site and nice GT any engine mods?

[LXS]

Welcome to site! Sweet lookin' ride! There aren't too many people who care for Ford's upgraded sound system, such as yours, but I absolutely LOVED my old Mach 1000 that was in my old '02 GT vert! I can just imagine how much better your Shaker 1000 sounds! :drool: :D :cheers:

---------- Post added 09-01-2009 at 04:56 AM ----------

Oh yeah, just one question tho, why is your screen name 05Silverbullet when you said you have an '06 GT? :scratch: :confused: Just curious, that's all! :nod: :)

[Frisky]

Welcome to the Site dude. Many cruises happen!!! Check the gatherings section. What plans do you have for your newest baby?

[06silverbullet]

as for the mods nothing crazy with one exception and thats a s/c. i'm working on getting a kenne bell for the beast and then i will be done with power for the most part. i also want to get the duck tail spoiler and a front functional splitter and a set or the roush coil overs steedas front adjustable sway bar and looking for a rear adjustable sway still. those are my plans as of right now.

[OttoCobra]

I'd recommend the Roush TVS or a Whipple over the KB. The KBs are very hit or miss on quality. There are several peeps on these boards that can speak to the positive experiences they've had with Roush and Whipple blowers. Good luck mang! :uhhuh:

[06silverbullet]

yeah the roush m90 kit is a very nice kit but the install looks very difficult to where i'd probably have a shop do it as there is a lot of wiring to be done.

if you get a chance to come to one of our meets or to our friday night hangouts, there's a member [StangZilla] who has a roush supercharger on his s197. very nicely done and it screams when you jump on it.

btw, welcome. glad you got all the registration stuff out of the way. :tup:

did he install the rough himself?

and thanks if it wheren't for you i'd still be sol on getting registered

[95stangman]

hello

[Ogbatman]

hi :wave:

[RedRyder]

Edelbrock supercharger > *

[06silverbullet]

i saw the e force on a stang the other day not sure if what was involved as its covered up by covers for some reason i guess they think that looks nice?

[RedRyder]

it makes the ugly mod motor look decent IMO.

[06silverbullet]

not one for covering up what god made...er the lord i mean ford made.

[BISKIT]

Welcome to LAMC.

No he didn't. We had the pleasure of installing that one for him.

Oh, and Jeff was talking about the TVS Roush blower, not the M90. Both are still available but the difference being that the TVS is the new style Eaton blower good for up to 700 ponies (stock pulley should be good for mid to high 400 at the wheels).

I would also recommend against the KB blowers. As of late we have had A LOT of issues with them.
For a twin screw style blower either Roush TVS or Whipple/Ford Racing is the way to go.

yeah its what the 2300 the only thing with that is is that safe on a stock block. i know the m90 would be as it only puts out 5psi

[BISKIT]

Yes it is safe on a stock block. It is mainly about the owner not getting too power hungry and it being tuned by someone that knows what the hell they are doing. As long as you can keep it under 450 to the wheels you will be fine.

[1218shelby]

get a Paxton Novi2200.. :drool:

[BISKIT]

get a Paxton Novi2200.. :drool: <-- installed that one too. LOL

[06silverbullet]

i dont like centrifugal superchargers unless they are extremely cheap which they aren't.

now this roush charger how much aprox. did you charge for install. and also why did you tune it? its supposed to send in the ecu on the 2010. or use the tune it comes with?

:laugh:
you need to tune it to run properly and not blowz3rsz up j0or engine

[BISKIT]

Wrong.

Roush is one of the few companies that is DEAD ON with their tunes.

On Jacobs car we sent in the PCM along with some info on the car and they had it back to us in less than 48 hours along with the tune already on it.

Afterwards Jacob took the car to Greg and strapped it on the dyno just to see whats up and it was a DEAD ON tune.

Which Roush blower are you asking about, the M90 or the TVS?

The tuning on the M90 offers a 3 year/ 36000 mile warranty on the powertrain as long as Roush's steps are followed.

The only way to get the full warranty on the TVS is if you buy it with their shortblock assembly and that alone is about 11k.

Centri chargers r cheap if u know where to look. Got my whole set up for $2500.

I got my KB setup for $2500 too. :D

Did yours include fuel pump, injectors, spark plugs and tuner?

[1EVLPNY]

Everything but the tuner, which I had already, the X-Cal 3 from when Greg tuned the car N/A. Came with an SVT Focus fuel pump, NGK plugs and KB 36lb injectors.

[Nicksbluestang]

Wrong.

I was under the impression that he thought he could run the roush M90 with out the tune you get from Roush.

Do not expect Jacob
(super-nice guy,BTW)

To give you tech advice for you car.

As for home/office COMPUTER STUFF?

(He will not disappoint, he is great.)

[06silverbullet]

I was under the impression that he thought he could run the roush M90 with out the tune you get from Roush.

thats a negative. what i meant or maybe i said wrong was that roush chargers are supposed to come with a tune/tuner. the only ones that dont i believe are the ones meant for the 2010 in which you have to send the actually pcm to roush for a tune.

That is actually Roush S.O.P.

Turn around is really quick though.

[06silverbullet]

eh. if they could get it back before the shop finished it so it didnt delay the time i got the car back that would be bitchin

[OttoCobra]

48 hours round trip is possible with Roush

[06silverbullet]

damn. thast quick

[OttoCobra]

damn. thast quick

Roush is on top of their shyt.

I was very impressed with the install kit and all its hardware too. Nice stuff to work with.

[06silverbullet]

yeah thast why i think if i evefr get the money put together with the payments im making that'll be the kit to get. plus it looks purty

[Nicksbluestang]

I would take the roush TVS over the m90. the m90 is out of date.

[06silverbullet]

m90 is plenty of get up and go. after all this is my daily driver

[OttoCobra]

m90 is plenty of get up and go. after all this is my daily driver

for a DD. and a wake up....m-90 will more than do.


TVS, makes penor much the largers.

(may get caught in car door though....)

[RedRyder]

I still prefer the edelbrock one. but that's just me.

[OttoCobra]

Displacement blowers produce my favorite sound, but this is just IMO.
(note: these have been most all the choices discussed so far)

[BondoSHO]

Whipple>*

[06silverbullet]

whipples are very inefficient and would not wast my money on such.

[Enorbit3]

WOW...its no wonder u r new to the stang game....where do u get your info from?

[Ogbatman]

:ban:


Someone is drinking dirty bath tube water full of soap scum agian...:freak:

[Enorbit3]

well, generally speaking, all superchargers are inefficient cause they are belt driven...a turbo is the MOST efficient way to go....now, the main problem with positive displacement blowers (whether roots or twin screw) is heat soak....they are plagued with heat issues cuz the blower spins so fast....once u get that issue solved (which most SC manufacturers do) then u r on the way to makin big power....

[Nicksbluestang]

WOW...its no wonder u r new to the stang game....where do u get your info from?

He drives a tbird......nuff said

[5litrarag]

whipples are very inefficient and would not wast my money on such.

Very inefficient? As opposed to what?

A turbo maybe. :shrug:


Otherwise I'm going to have say you are speaking from your anal orifice.

[RedRyder]

phew! bad breath FTL!

[1218shelby]

like i said before.. get Paxton Novi and be done with it. :gears:

[RedRyder]

I'm pretty sure he wants a positive displacement blower, jaime.

[Nicksbluestang]

I'm pretty sure he wants a positive displacement blower, jaime.

yup.

Positive displacement FTW

[RedRyder]

especially on a daily driver. torque is hella fun on the street.

[Nicksbluestang]

Or he can just get a set of 4.56 gears and call it a day.

[OttoCobra]

Fox force words of wisdom right there... TQ rules.

:lol2:

[06silverbullet]

oh well maybe its the old timers talking about the old whipples. anyways yes i want a roots/twin screw s/c i dont mind centrifugal i just prefer positive displacement. anyways tq is nice and especially with the non pi motors as all the tq was down low :)

[LXS]

Fox force words of wisdom right there... TQ rules.

:lol2:


Mmmmmmm!!!!! I remember/miss the ability to obliterate the tires at the flick of the gas pedal! :nod: :gears:

[RedRyder]

If I floor it from a stop, my tires start screaming for mercy. Once the stall kicks in BOOM! :rollin:
