wicked's latest Mustang Mod - check out the videos!

[wickedfrags]

Ok, as some of you may remember when I do not have my hands in the tank I spend them working on my 2008 Mustang GT. While there are many performance mods to mention, I recently had Ford Racing Performance Parts new Hot Rod cams installed. For you car guys (and gals) check out the videos - I am really pleased with the performance and the sound!

Sweet, Sweet, music to my ears.

Nice, I really like the look of the newer model muscle cars. Raf and I are eyeing a new Dodge Challenger as our next car. I wouldn't mind an old one myself :D. We are just hesitant right now since they might be going bankrupt :crazyeye:. My dream car: 1970-72 black Chevy Chevelle SS. Ooooooo mama.

[68shelby]

Yes and no. I have one, but its a clone and not even mustang guys can tell it apart from a real one. The only way you can tell its a clone is because it gets driven.

Pontiac nut here. But appreciate all forms of HP and style

[whiteice669]

sweet, what kind of numbers did they get off the dyno ??

[lorenz0]

man, domestic cars have such a response to such a small mod

sounds like you went with one aggressive cam

[brizzo]

Mmm nice and lumpy. Blub blub blub. I have a 78 Nova in pieces :mrgreen:

Sounds lumpy mmmmmmmmmmmmm lumpy, sounds good for a ford but I'll stick to my Hemi:biggrin: gotta love american muscle.

[Delphinus]

Makes me miss my old '67... :( Sigh.

[wickedfrags]

They use their mustang dyno mostly for tuning and for that reason it always givest lower numbers. dyno'd at 301RWHP 315TQ, based on the mods I expect it would be consistent with what everyone else gets with their cars, around 315RWHP/315TQ +/-. Now if I do the exhaust...........well that will help, currently factory exhaust on the car.

Actually that is about as mild as they come, designed by Ford. No springs required, 1mm more lift and valves open a little longer is all. Could have went more agressive but the drivablity goes down and I do not intend on taking it to the track that much so every last bit of HP is not that important to me.

Much more lopey than the 67'-70' mustangs. Ford has done really well since they went with the retro look in 2005, suprising GM and Crysler took so long to introduce comparable cars. Gotta love the marketing of that HEMI - most people do not even know what it means or that essentially all modern engines use this technology.

Sounds lumpy mmmmmmmmmmmmm lumpy, sounds good for a ford but I'll stick to my Hemi:biggrin: gotta love american muscle.

Nice number, Wicked. :D wana race LMAO

[Rbacchiega]

Fancy!

I used to own a '73 Mustang convertable. Now I'll just stick with my '51 Merc and '66 Caddy....although there is an old '49 Hudson Hornet at the body shop that's for sale....

[andestang]

Very nice, gotta love the sound. I own a 69 Mach 1 and also part of my user name . I should dyno it one day, we'll see how this year turns out.

[digital-audiophile]

Must have to sell a lot of frags to run a car like that :p :mrgreen:

All kidding aside, she is a beaut!

[wickedfrags]

Some fine automobiles - my dad had a '70 mustang and inherited a '62 Caddy...thing was massive, about 22 feet if I recall.

Wow, nice to be able to get your hands on a 69. Feel free to post some pics of that!

Thanks. And ya, I only put 94 octane in it........so it is by no means cheap. I try not to warm up the tires that much as I would have to seel ALOT of frags if I did that. That being said, I am pretty happy with the tank these days, should get some updated pictures.

Nice car, sounds great

[Ya Dude]

that was so much more exiting than watching my own car idle.

[Mikee]

Nice! ive always loved the old mustangs..not so much in the 80's or 90's but the new ones are looking hot again. I love the european cars..bmw is prob my fav..the E30 and E46 are prob on top. I own a 89 E30 IX (awd) this car is great in the snow gets up and down my long steep icy driveway in the winter without a problem! sadly i had to get automatic and one day driving to work my tranny died and now only reverse works. The tranny would of gone much longer i believe if i would of turned the car off earlier before the rpm started going crazy..lesson learned never by a automatic! much easier and cheaper lol! I hope to get a rebuilt tranny in there again by fall for next winter again though..or just swap it to manual..but right now im looking at getting either a E46 330CI or E46 M3..love that M power hehe. heres a dyno run from M3 E46 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTQTNdh9w28 and a nice launch lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py2SiDZSqX8&feature=related

I will jump in on this one , I thought I was the only motorhead-fishnerd. I have a 2003 Ford Harley f150, custom paint & interior, lowered & on the mustang dyno it made 335 hp 440 ftlbs . I can hardly wait for spring so I can dig it out of the garage & put a few miles on it.
