a guy here is an expert in teh 5r1. redid a buddys and man does it shift very nicely. he said mine rebuilt for MOAR power will be easy and just south of $2K

 

Sounds awesome, I'll race you from my house to Gorman on the interstate 5 when you get it done. Just bare in mind, I have a limiter no more.

 

LOL good times Leo, i might still win but if we raced a lap of Gorman, your the victor hands down.

 

just bought a water/meth injection system. turbo needs to get here...

 

ok phase one is gonna start 21 May. should get the truck back that friday then drive up to Nor-Cal to spend my lil sons Birthday.

here is the plan

ARP Headstuds

Garrett Powermax 64mm

EGR Delete (Stock Appearing) Bulletproof EGR Cooler with
blocker welded in

Intake Gasket Set

OEM Head Gasket Set

5" Turbo Back with down pipe exhaust

Clean/Mag/Mill Heads

Replace head gaskets, Replace turbo, replace
EGR cooler, Replace Leaking up-pipe
, Injectors 175cc/75%

 

Cant wait to see this done

 

Jake is doing almost the same thing to his this week. i have to wait a week.....

 

cool list of parts. I'm happy with mine for now. Gonna move to a Powermax and headstuds at some point. But for now roasting my 35's with relative ease is enough.

I got a $250 ticket the other day for laying down a patch of rubber from a stoplight Stupid me Wasn't even a boosted launchbecause I had a 2009 Mustang Bullitt...fast and fun car...very fun car

however

my F-250 is almost as quick when launched from a boost. obviously the car is faster at high speeds, but nothing accelerates like a boosted PSD



and

my truck is appropriate for 90% of the time. It holds 6 people, hauls a load, tows a trailer, and it gets comparable gas mileage (12-14 mpg city truck, Mustang got 14-16 mpg city).


just a few points to consider. I agree that a truck isn't appropriate as a "race" vehicle. But it sure is fun to drive

what he said!!

 

Well the work started today. I went with 190/75 injectors. Can't wait to get back to Vegas next Monday.

I got my tunes fom KEMPerformance this morning.

 

Brother that sounds awesome I wish I lived close enough to see it in person you'll have to send me some links to some videos of your runs if you've got some love to see that thing haul down the track.

 

Here are a FEW pics I have,



This one makes me nervous, but also happy that I bought a kit to replace all the little annoying fittings and screens.



That ripped screen means that my timely oil changes were needed. It is the high pressure oil pump screen. The pump fires the injectors (3-4000+ PSI I think), they run very tight tolerances and the sludge in the oil could cause a failure and this screen is supposed to stop it. I have new injectors so I am not worried about it.

Planning ahead is nice, when I do it!!



went to look at the truck last week, the cab was just sitting on the frame and it is outside the shop. they need the lift space and are waiting on parts.. heads are taking a bit longer then expected and the Up-pipes got shipped to the wrong shop so they will get there tomorrow.

i did get to check out the injectors.. nice!!! oh and i went with 190's








then the pipes got in and the heads were finished but i still dont have the truck...

this wait is getting irritating

 

Patient grasshoppa! I wanna rides in this race truck! My race truck is on hold, well the funds are for the trans, damn GF!

 

"Should" be tomorrow. needs to be cycled for leaks/issues and then the A/C needs to be re-installed/charged

 

So bank on Wednesday? They charging you for a/c?
