Got some bugs worked out on the car and got the tuning finished up. Just in time for hot humid crap weather! It has a 3.6L KB with a 3.75 pulley making 17 PSI. Mild timing on 93. Stock motor with L&M cams, longtubes, etc. Put down 743/677. In cooler weather it made 748/701 with 500 less RPM...
Finally got my hood pins installed, along with repolishing the fenders, hood and front end. PPF had already been applied and I got it ceramic coated again. I wanted a classic/throwback look to fit the 07-09 body style and I think the hood, lettering and now the pins complete it. Outside is all...
I've been wanting to go with a more aggressive look but still keep it classic Shelby. I think the KR hood fits this body style just right. Had one shop do the bodywork and paint and they did a great job. Another shop added the stripes and PPF and also did a great job. I love how it turned out...
Got my car back from the shop. Had several things done including a 13/14 Trinity blower swap, L&M cams, full exhaust, etc. On 14# in 101° heat it made 671/692. Here's a quick start up and idle vid. More to come!
Got some new wheels and tires for the Shelby for Christmas. Went with hyper silver Shelby CS5's, 19x9.5 and 19x11 with 255/40 Mickey Thompson Street Comps and 305/35 Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S drag radials. I'm very happy with them I think they go with the car really well.
After 10 years I'm back in an SVT vehicle with my first Shelby. I've wanted one forever. I really like the 07-09 models and always wanted Vista Blue with white stripes. I happened across this one at a small dealership in Michigan and it was actually the dealership owner's personal car. Him and...
I was on the hunt for a new project but didn't know exactly what I wanted. I knew I didn't want yet another black/gray/white car like my last several have been I wanted some color. Once I came across this car I knew I had to have it. It was delivered this week. '04 Competition Orange Mach 1...
We've been wanting to add a third dog to the mix but had to wait until we got the new house (which reminds me I need to post that up eventually too). We tried to adopt a dog a couple of months ago but he was too alpha for my alpha male. This time we decided to play it safe and get a female puppy...
Just a few quick cellphone pics. I've had them for a while but haven't taken any pics of the car. It's actually pretty dirty right now. They're Velgen Classic5's powder coated a custom dark copper. They were done by Paul at PK Auto Design. We went through a few different variations until we got...
2 days into the MLB season and no thread yet? Shame. Sports forum used to be very active and a lot of fun. Sucks now. I'm losing reasons to come to this forum any more.
Go Stros.
I just bought these on a group buy but unfortunately the color isn't quite right for what I needed. They are brand new in the box, only taken out of the box for initial inspection and pics. They are black with Carrot (orange) suede inserts and matching double stitching. They are perforated and...
It's that time again!
Who's ready to win some money?!
Football is back! Make the season even more enjoyable and win some cash along the way!
It's simple to play. Pick the winners of each week's games (no point spread involved, just winner/loser) and the player with the most wins each...
Fall camp is well under way and we're only 2.5 weeks away from kickoff. Will Bama continue their dominance? Or will another team sneak up and knock them off the pedestal again?
Needless to day I'm very excited for Michigan this year. Year 2 under Harbaugh with good coaching, a strong...
The preseason has already started so it's time to start up the new thread. Are the Broncos going to repeat? How will the Patriots do without Brady for a quarter of the season? Will the NFC step back up?
Last year I correctly predicted that my Texans would go 9-7. I have no idea what we're...
I wanted to stay N/A with this build and make it a streetable 500+whp car. Just picked it up today from my buddy's shop. Installed a Cobra Jet intake (they don't make them yet for the '15, but it works), UPR adjustable motor mounts so it'll clear the hood, FRPP 65mm twin throttle body, FRPP CAI...
I posted up some pics of the new wheels on my car (HRE FF01's) awhile back and said I planned to add black lug nuts and pinstripe the wheels. Just finished that up today. Some won't like it but I love how they turned out. Let me know what you think.
OK guys sorry this is so late. The weekend I was going to originally start this thread is when I ended up in the hospital etc etc. I had basically forgotten about it and hadn't seen people posting about it until I got PM'd last night so here we go. I know it's only 2 weeks before kickoff so...

Fall camp is well under way and we're only 2.5 weeks away from kickoff. Time for a new thread and after the last 2 years it's time for a new title.
Will the SEC step up and reclaim glory? Is it time for another team to step up and shock the world? We'll soon find out.
Training Camp is in full swing and the preseason has already started so it's time to start up the new thread. Who's going to the big dance this year? Who's going to be the biggest disappointment? Biggest surprise?
FWIW I think my Texans will go 9-7 again. I don't know if that'll be good...
Finally got my new wheels on. 20x9.5, 20x10.5 Tarmac (satin black) HRE FF01's. Tires are 275/35, 315/35 Nitto Invos. I love how they turned out. Aggressive offset that pushes them right to the edge but they don't stick out. I'll probably do a Grabber Blue pinstripe as well. It looks better in...
Headed up to Big Worm Graphix to get my stripes and blackouts installed. I'm planning on going with grabber blue accents so I decided on the new GT350 style stripes in matte black with grabber blue pinstripes. I had all the lights and reflectors tinted and went with their darkest tint on...
