    04 mustang road racing build

    It did get dynoed and made i think around 265/280 on I think 22 or 24 degrees of timing with a 12.5 afr. I have to go back and get a dyno sheet, battery tender, and gas can. Not holding my breath. Also learning the holley software which seems amazing so far. Did go for a test drive and so far so...

    I really dont appreciate people attacking me for being a liar, or a coward, and pouncing on me for paying to much. This thread was made for advice and to help others in my situation. This is classic blame the victim rhetoric. If you dont believe me, that's fine. This was about an experience with...

    Wow. No it's not worthless. If I named the shop or not, someone else can learn from my experience. Just because I dont name em I am a coward or lying, whatever man.

    https://svtperformance.com/threads/04-mustang-road-racing-build.1166647/ These are the only pics I have so far. I will put more on my build thread when I get a chance. Nothing really to see. It's just a sn95 ;). But it performs like a beast. When it worked.

    Damn. The kennebell and install was more than the car was worth. But I could walk coyotes all day for less than half the cost of a new stock mustang. You think $5k is a lot. Please. I have probably $15-20k in it so far. Probably gonna be around $40k when done. Building a full blown race car is...

    When too walk away from a performance shop

    The shop is PPG cars in madisonville, LA. I got the car back earlier this week. After looking over the car, there were pieces of cut wire and connectors all over the car and cowl, the exhaust was loose and missing hardware, and this plastic block was left on top the gas tank. I dont even know...

    When too walk away from a performance shop

    A little update. So to some unforeseen family incident, I didn't get the car back when I wanted too. I had another talk with the shop and decided to just let them finish it. I did eventually get the car back. Now I am torn. The amount of work done and quality of work is very good. Labor $ is...

    When too walk away from a performance shop

    I agree. The good thing is I only paid for the standalone so far $2500 which I know is $500 over retail. But with the extra wiring, dyno tuning, alignment, and little extra odds and ends, i thought $5k out the door was reasonable. I usually do my own work if its mechanical. Wiring is my...

    Thanks guys for all your comments and advice. It seems I am a victim of circumstance and bad luck. But, I will not stop. If anything, it just incresses the fire in my belly and I will overcome this no matter what. I can't wait to see and demolish them on the track. I will be waving in my rear...

    When too walk away from a performance shop

    I am looking at a destroked aluminum ls3. My favorite engine is the ls7. When I heard the new ls7 in the vette back in the 2000s I always giggidied my pants. I just started learning ls. I was considering a coyote but...... idk. Ls seems more durable. I dreamed of the coyote back in 05. When the...

    When too walk away from a performance shop

    I wasn't interested in a piggyback after the sct and hptuners debacle especially if I go ls. I do admit I didnt know about tunerpro but I thought the shop I frequent wouldn't screw me. No one around me uses tunerpro but I didnt search for a longer distance shop. The other concern was if I get 1...

    I have drifted it before but is not set up for drifting. It is a road race car but I do everything with it. Drag race, road race, rallies, autocross, drift, etc. If I could, I would rally across it.

    When too walk away from a performance shop

    The quote was from the shop owner. Parts and labor. So far I have only paid $2500 for the standalone kit. The other $2500 was for labor, extra wiring, and any other parts. I agreed to $5000. Parts, install, dyno tuning and a wheel alignment, out the door. I thought that was fair. Maybe I was...
