What are your thoughts on these winter upgrades for my 2012 Brembo GT? car is a M6 and has boss heads / cj cams. boss intake already. runs on e85 for piston melt protection and reduced exhaust stink.already has lethal 2.75" over axle w off road x, kooks 1-3/4" headers and x pipe with stock gt mufflers to keep things quiet.
1. SCJ Throttle Body
2. Drew custom 4.5" CAI
3. CJ Intake
4. Burns stainless resonators - only 3lbs .
this is not needed, at 300 each I could get the weld in Borla's for half that. but burns are f1 / lemans tech and the look bad ass. i'm going slip over so its easy to replace the matting.
5. ford racing mufflers M-5230-MGTCA 50 state legal drive by for noise formerly known as the Borla touring muffler.. the other ford racing 49 state sport muffler flows the same but is much louder according to the Borla engineer I spoke to.
6. BMR lower control arm relo brackets.
7. 55 gal. drum of e85.
my car made 440whp on the mustang dyno last year, it went 12.0 at 120 in horrible 3500' air with a slug like tire melting 2 second 60' letting off the gas near the end as it was at 7400rpm, Since then I upgraded to e85 and it made 440whp again this year as a baseline before the mods, how un thrilling that was considering Shaun from AED tuned it and added 2 degrees of timing on e85. car is a joy to drive and the big issue is I have no local maxima peak on the dyno curve, I.e. The peak hp is at the very end of the run and I cap at 7500rpm max due to stock rods.
Vector Motorsports out of Clinton township MI is doing the work again.
think i'll make more power? I know for a fact the exhaust is backing up because people say it hisses when i'm under full throttle or they accuse me of having a a turbo after I slay them on the streets of Canada. I saw one guy with a gt turbo free up 80hp just by going to a better muffler, wont be anything like that in NA but I am hoping.
did you guys here if the jlt carbon cai's do indeed neck down internally to 72mm like I've read here on a different thread? if so this should really help.
feedback appreciated, what else should I do to go fast?
