Good question. Jim Sr. at JDM did rev the engine a few times to 7600 RPM on the dyno pulls after the proper A/F ratio was achieved. He said the rods will easily take 8500 and they rev their Super Stock engines to 8200 routinely. I put a manual shift light in the car to be able to see it and it...
Original Owner-Have all Dealer Documents when the car was bought new Window Sticker/Bill of Sale. Price is $68,250 OBO. $38K in the engine, transmission, rear end, and suspension.
Go ahead and make me an insane offer you might be surprised!

I have a tremendous amount of experience with both Jim's at JDM in both shipping them and building my engine and shipping it back to me. They are great people to deal with in all phases of the build process, and after the build is finished. Call me if you want to discuss the JDM route as I know...
I would not trust the work that has been done by the first shop. Lets hit a home run the first time instead of creating a continuous problem that never gets fixed and takes the joy out of your new headers. I would do the following:
1. Support the engine and drop the K-Member sub frame from the...
Somehow this came to my inbox and I responded to it. I also have two Bob's Oil Separators for Mustang/Shelby GT500 for sale. If you want the deal of a lifetime PM me. Not going to hijack this persons thread.
No more power but I'm on the stock fuel system pumps and we had 12* of timing and we were at 11.80 A/F ratio and did not want to go any further. Outside temp was 36* so very good D/A. Jim Sr. has got so much experience with these engines and fuel management systems that when he said we could not...
I just took my timing cover off in November to inspect my 10mm timing components with 3700 miles and 6 years of service from my JDM build. Everything looked almost new with no wear noticed on any of the components. FYI this should put to bed your concerns for wear on the drivetrain/cam related...
Left and Right brushed aluminum Bobs Ultimate oil separators with all brackets, 4-#10AN fittings, and plenty of Earls #10 black braided hose to install them on your Mustang. These came off my 2013 GT500. Price is $110 shipped. I paid almost $500 for them new. These things need to go! Deal of a...
No crystal ball here but if I found the car I wanted and it has less than 1K miles, I would have to buy the car for $62K. You are essentially getting a brand new car 8 years later. Does it have any mods-unlikely with the mileage. I don't know how many 1K mileage cars are out there, but mine has...
This is exactly the same bottom end JDM put in my engine. Notice no main studs due to their experience with new stock bolts being able to withstand 1400HP maximum without incident on their Super Stock cars. Also no head studs are used as their belief is that it is much cheaper if you have a head...
To sleeve you existing block is about $3K
To buy a new block is about $5K
My engine had 3K miles on it when I took it to JDM and did not require sleeving the block due to limited wear. If you can get rings for the stock pistons (Not available in 2015) you might be able to reuse your old Mahle...
You cannot go wrong with JDM. Who else gives you a years warranty on a built engine as long as you not detonate it? Almost six year's later after the build I have not touched a wrench on my car other than to change plugs and oil. JDM all the way.

Your the man. Thanks for the kind words. To be honest I have not touched the Shelby since 2015 after I finished the car. I know there are solutions out there for traction but as you stated, not on 20" tires. Thanks for the tip. However, I did purchase a new Demon and have been fooling around...
I agree with these comments. I have 806 RWHP from my JDM built motor and it is impossible to hook up with 20" drag radials. Now, let's put some 15" Sticky Mickeys on this car and now we have something that will hook up on the track. But our current 8.8" rear end won't handle the additional...
I personally had JDM design, build, and tune on site my entire engine package. I removed and re installed the engine and broke it in. Jim promised me 800 RWHP before the build, Dyno'd 806 RWHP at 7600 RPM. You can see my car on the dyno on their web site. Five years later the car gets 19.5mpg...

The car still looks great. Glad to see they are still letting you folks have the car show near Aldi's. I still have my Shelby and bought a Demon a few weeks ago as I really like their rareness. Two completely different vehicles. Both are fun!
