Loaded up on the 4-digit trailer. Dropping off at shop and will pick up next Saturday.

Only 16psi, and yes SAE. He came off the trailer and I went on, so she’s locked and loaded

Can't wait to hear how much your Shelby puts down, are you still running the Trinity TVS? Or the Gen3R? And what T/B?Loaded up on the 4-digit trailer. Dropping off at shop and will pick up next Saturday.

Love the wheels
I bought the Gen3 a day before the Gen3R came out but it’s all good, it should make decent power for the meantime. The motor was built for max effort by Keith Rhea at Wonder Racing, I was super pleased with his attention to detail and how thorough he was with the whole build. My block is still the 5.8 with Darton sleeves, Winburg billet crank, Molnar power adder plus rods, 11.5:1 compression full custom pistons with every option you can have by CP, ported heads with Ferrara 1000 valves by Ron at Fox Lake, custom cams from Todd Warren degreed by Todd himself, Todd and I are working on porting and modifying the heck out of my lower intake at the moment to add more volume to to runners by welding the spots up by the injector bungs so he can get rid of a lot of the bump in inside of the runner. I also did the 10mm chain upgrade with Shelby Mikes guides. Getting ready to build a fuel system here soon with all Fore stuff so it’s getting close to firing it up, I have the smallest pulley on the blower you can get and a 15% lower so far so it should be fun. I’ll keep you posted when I get it together. The wheels are cheap but looked great for the price, I think I only paid $200 for each wheel, I’m running the VMP twin 67 till I decide what I’m doing next...

Sounds like a badass build for sure, who's tuning your car?
I am going to contact Lund for tuning, the dyno at my work is right next to my bay so at least I won’t have to pay for dyno rental
Love that color combo. What wheels are those?

It’s a stock Gen 3 currently with a 2.5 upper 15% lower and KB168.
I left it at the shop for the week and it’ll have a 2.4 upper and the VMP 173 installed for max power pulls on pump E85 (currently testing E90) then a half tank of C85.
The tuner (Lidio at Alternative Auto) got the same revised 173 TB from Justin that I received and he’s running it without any issues.
If the 173 works on my car I’ll Weld/port/powder the regular Gen 3 as I feel it has more potential than the R if the 173TB works. We shall see.
After the tuning session, I’ll be racing at NMCA Norwalk 8/24 then leaving it with PMAS to redesign the DD149 and see if I like that more than the current JLT 155 that’s on the car.
Probably just do some local testing after NMCA, saving it for Mod Nats in November.
Dyno results pending!

What kind of dyno? Really curious to see what your car does. Get rid of that twin 67 lol
Yes, he’s got an absolutely killer build and that twin 67 will kill at least 50rwhp once it’s sorted out.
As we both have Gen 3 VMP blowers, if the revised 173 TB works, that’s the choice for max power builds.
My tuner thankfully has had luck with his revised 173, so I’m hoping for the best!

I remember you saying you received your 173 a couple months back. So you haven't tried to run it yet? My guess with VMP's offerings is you will be able to get through dyno tuning with them, they should stay relatively cool. You might even get a few runs in at the strip depending on how long you have to stage and how much time you have in between runs to cool off. They're just not streetable, though, failsafe every time they get too hot.
Good luck with the tuning, it would be awesome to see you get up and running with it. Looking forward to seeing some numbers.
Correct. I had planned to have been up to the dyno before now, but I’ve just been enjoying the car as is, running great with the KB168. The only real reason to run the 173 is for a small power bump but also to eliminate the need for an adapter.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear my tuner had also received the revised 173 and has been running it without issue.
I’m hoping the car does well with the 173, and then I’ll plan to tune the car in for fall racing and then fully maximize the 173/Gen 3 combo.

Now that's what I call Racing Stripes.
Thats Awesome.

Good luck man, does your tuner run the 173 on the street or is it race only? Several of us here tried the revised 160 with poor results. From what LR told me, they couldn't get any of them to stay out of failsafe.
Had to actually work that a little bit. These 325 cup 2s really hook up! I'm very happy with the switch!

When you go to a car show, and only take a pic of your own car. Lol!
