Under the KNIFE and new daily driver
There are a few items missing from the table, such as : Quaiffe diff, stall converter, colder plugs, and Floored Fab complete exhaust if they ever show up
New daily driver:
Specs are Built motor with meth, running 14lbs and 480rwhp She is been shipped from Texas. All the decals and stickers will be pulled off immediatly Mustang is super clean, MURDERED FTW! Plans are to install 60lbs injectors,turn the boost up to 20lbs, tune, and hoping for 600rwhp.

****... Why did I read this... I promised myself I wouldn't go crazy modding this car. After seeing all those goodies, I am reconsidering. That would be so much fun.
The Mustang looks sweet! I'm not a pony guy, but that is a great looking car. Looks even better, under the hood!

Thanks buddy. If all goes well, it will be on the dyno tomorrow for the tuning. I will get some logging information to post too What did your car put down on your new setup?

Craig - I thought you were shooting for 500rwhp without the pulley? I was eager to see if you could hit that mark. What pulley did you go with? Looks like ASP. What throttle body do you have?
Gonna be a night and day difference once you get the car back...

Todd

I was going to try for 500rwhp, but the FF longtubes are not going to be here anytime soon, so I scratched that idea.
All of my goods on the table are through BI Performance here in Atlanta, GA. The pulley is one of theirs which comes from ASP. I started out with the 180mm, but once the longtubes get in, I will probably go a little bigger, all depends on IATS and whether it makes more power.
The only bottle neck right now will be the stock manifolds until the longtubes and mid pipe gets here. I am excited to see how the bigger intercooler piping below the blower helps out, along with the trunk mount cooler for the split cooling.
I will continue to add pics of the build as I get them

So....
What is the Mustang going to accomplish for you that the E55 won't???
More power sure....but you're throwing a LOT of go-fast goodies at the E55 right now too. It seems like the E55 wins in almost every possible way over a Mustang.
Maybe I'm just confuzled...

Greg-Mustang is the daily driver and ALOT cheaper to maintain. I don't think it is a bad idea having a 600rwhp daily driver, do you!!! The E55 is reserved strictly for the track, shows, and taking the wifey out on dates
KLR-I am not sure on the stall, as I have to see where all the TQ and HP sit on the graph before I choose, but I am leaning towards a 2800 rpm stall.

Hmmm.....interesting logic.
I'm not sure how maintaining two high-HP cars instead of one can possibly save you money, but it's certainly entertaining to watch!
Once they're both done, I'd love to see a video of them head-to-head somehow. It sure seems like the Mustang is never going to translate 600RWHP into actual forward motion (from a dig).... it seems like the E55 (even with lower HP numbers) would hook better with ESP and just start walking away with it.....
Definitely interested to hear your feedback on the Quaife once that's installed. Bruce at TTM calls that mod "the game changer".

It all depends on seat time in the mustang and how good you get a launching it.
Plus the mustangs are about 500 lbs less I know my cobra weighs 3600lbs.
Mustangs and Cobras have Traction Control to.
If its a roll start from like 30/40 mph's, Got a feeling Mustang/Cobra with 600/610 RWHP will walk away from the E55.
Guess we will find out soon though.

Well if the mustang has Drag radials/rear end gear its going to be close and by 2nd gear I think mustang will be faster and catch the E55.

It has a built rear end with moser 31 splines and auburn 31 spline locker, can you say SLICKS It is begging for them, and also has a 3.73 ring and pinion to top it all off with a spec stage 3 clutch, 6000rpms launches here we come. I am seriously debating taking all the badging off, GT and fenders badges, so it looks like a sleeper. Only thing giving it away at that point would be the hood Yes, I know how to launch it
The hood yeah but your not going to hide the drag radials either.
Yeah mine looks totally stock untill you see the drag radials and I could not hide them.
I totaly replaced the whole suspension package but, decided to stick with the Independent rear as I like it better for street driving and cornering.
3.73 is a good rear end for dragging and street driving a friend of mine just took his 4.10 out and we replaced it with a 3.73 and its much better now.
Here is what they will do launched right,
