one step closer, really hoping to fire it up sometime this weekend. we shall see.

MJBZR1

You're killing it. Love the build. Sweet car.

StealthFRC

thanks bud.

got the trunk area all button up and the ice tank permanently mounted.
its close, we checked the heads and changed the valve springs and push rods, all was good.
just a few small details to finish up and it will be ready, maybe tomorrow, all depends if we feel like working not he holiday.

beautiful!

FWIW I did some extensive trunk tank testing on my ctsv and found very little benefit to the tank - just a faster pump made all the difference. Obviously icing is the primary benefit - but 10 additional gallons of water was negligible over the underhood system when the capacity was the only variable.

StealthFRC

yea, biggest benefit will be when i put ice in it along with the larger HX. I'm curious to see how well it all works.

StealthFRC

a little closer, looking good for the weekend if all goes good.

my buddy decided to make a new intake, we both weren't to happy with the fitment of the synergy intake, also not to happy that it cost a fortune and is made of steel... so he fabbed up this replacement made of from aluminum, its much lighter and fits much better.

Looks great! Tell your buddy to get ready because I can see people asking for their own pretty quick.

StealthFRC

thanks bud, I'm sure if someone wanted one i could pressure him into making another. i can also have them coated any color. once we get my car on the road ill possibly send it to my coater, he usually has a 1 day turn around.

Mrgusto

Car looks awesome man!!!

You still have the red 99?

I was out the to look at your Whipple. I am putting twins on my mustang also bought a z06.

I would like to take a ride out and check out your car when its done.

Good luck!!!

Bgreenard

I would like to see how yours tunes with the CAI. I may be interested

StealthFRC

thanks.
99 is gone, I ended up parting the car out. Twins are definitely the way to go on that car, should be a blast.
once it's done we can go for a cruis or something, I have a few friends that want to get together once my car is back on the road.

Sounds good. My buddy building the intakes/car is also my tuner.

StealthFRC

all the last little details. my buddy should be finished up with the y blocks today or tomorrow then just fill it with fluid and check for leaks.

StealthFRC

haven't updated this in a while, went down to florida for a couple weeks to turn the lights back on




car is up and running. my tuner is having issues with the TPIS throttle body so i will be ordering a NW boosted version to replace it. seems the blade/body of the TPIS isn't perfect and is allowing to much airflow at the wrong times.

one thing is for curtain tho, is the new cooling setup is working perfectly. here is a pic of the car at idle with NO ICE.

Damn you didnt waste any time tearing into it!

Race car **** already underway.

May as well pull the heads/cam while the blower is off....


Good luck on the new build.... Post up some digits when you get em.

StealthFRC

thanks bud, this is as far as ill be going for a bit. I'm trying to hold myself back from another race car lol.

StealthFRC

some more pics. car is back home. just needs the tune finished but i wanted to get it out of his shop and start doing the other small mods. only thing left he needs to make is the mounting bracket for the Y block. its not really needed but id like it on there just to make it look finished.

i installed my CF mirrors today and some more tuning will come tonight. we may not need a new TB, time will tell.





















he made the fuel line and it works with the stock line. came out perfect.

Function Racer

Beautiful car! I love the matching Raptor as well.

What part of Vernon? I'm right down the road from Lake Street School.

StealthFRC

thanks bud, I live on 83 near the bowling alley.

ajrothm

Looks great! I like the wheels on it. I also like the fact you can run the blower cover with the aftermarket IC hoses.

Your "home made" CAI looks 10x better then the synergy units for sure...

My buddy has the twin to your car, so I get to dabble a little with a ZR1 myself.


His also had the melted brick with coolant and metal everywhere. His is a CAI, LPE snout, 2.6 upper, 2" ARH headers/X pipe, Corsa Cat back. He also has the D3 cooling stuff..... It makes right at 600 rwhp on 93. He is trying to hold back on modding it more, he came from a 900 rwhp 5.0 mustang that stayed broken so..... He is following my lead and just cruising/doing appearance stuff.
