First off the blue setup was the #1 strongest 4.6 N/A MN12 (256RWHP and 300 RWTQ) so If it was pink it still would be baddass. The can said Ford Blue so I figured I was OK.

ILL_SVT- I love the DAMMMM!!!!!!!B....Thanks, that really made my day!

The badge
I have a '01 Cobra short block under all that crap so I figured the bage was ok. I guess considering I have 2V heads ontop should cut the head off the snake on the bage as well?

The Hood
I'm still driving around with a hole in the hood but I will try my luck on a hood scoop this weekend out of glas. My backup plan is a Cobra R hood for a T-bird.

Pulley issues
I wish I could use one of those L-ightning lower pulleys for my setup but the Roush SC is a little different and NO ONE makes one for this setup. I will have to have one custom made I guess.

The custom Alt setup looks factory and took many hours/days to figure out. I now have 3K on the newly built bomb proof motor so it's time to up the boost and add some juice!

Is that the car I've seen at Higgins Ford Performance ?


JEFF

 

I drop in over there from time to time to say Hi to Tommy and the crew. When did you see the car there? Was it when we thought I had wasted a ring land on the Blue setup? We heard a nasty "cick and clank" so I started to remove the motor and when I was under the car turning the motor by hand to get to each TC/flywheel nut I noticed the timing chain would jump and make the click noise. It turned out to be a cracked crankshaft key rather then a ringland thank god! Tommy is a good friend and the boys always mess wit me calling my car a damm T-Bird.

I like that set way more then the rice "color everything" phase u went through. LOL

Our 95 still remains only boltons, one of these days i am gonna put a 03 cobra engine in it, t-56 and solid 8.8.

Whats seabass's project looking like now? havent heard from him in a while

ray

 

Well I guess with all the attention scotts getting i had to come join.

Seabass is running a 96 Thunderbird Sport with a 99 GT engine, Bullit intake and a Vortech. He doesnt divulge the numbers it makes, but im sure its between 325 and 400 rwhp. Last i knew he had bought an F150 too, so he probably visits these boards from time to time.



And yes, Scott does amazing work. Ive probably told him a billion times and Im sure hes heard it, but hes really amazing. He comes up with some of the craziest ideas and always comes through.
