*The Monster* - GT500 Build

[Pro-Dyno]

Car: 2008 Shelby GT500//The Monster
Built by: Pro Dyno
Original Owner: Chuck Hicks
New Owner: Chris Stanfield

Many of you who are familiar with our shop, know "The Monster" very well. If not, you have been missing out on one of the coolest, most in-depth builds Pro Dyno has done to date. What started out as your ordinary stock GT500, ended up becoming a track monster with over 980RWHP through an automatic transmission!

Originally owned by Chuck Hicks, and now owned by Chris Stanfield, Chris is stepping the game up even more, having recently dropped it off for a full Cobra Jet ignition set up! I'm sure the upgrading on this car will never be finished!

Stay tuned to this thread as we update pictures of the last few years of all that we did to this Shelby, and keep your eyes (and ears) open for it at a local track!

Continuing on with updates of "The Monster", lets show you guys what else has been done to this thing over the last few years! :coolman:



Can't have a racecar without a roll cage!

Lets free up some exhaust with a set of Kooks Custom Headers Longtubes!

And to monitor all the power, lets install a set of gauges in a Shelby center bezel.

..and now onto bigger and better things...lets build the motor and see where we can go!

With this setup, we were able to achieve 915RWHP/847RWTQ!

Time to update this build! This was the first rear end being built, with stronger axles and 4.10!

With the amount of power the Monster was putting down, our next step was to opt for an Automatic Trans.

Dual Trans Coolers being installed:

Finally in!
