I like it alot car is put away for winter but had it out last week on a nice day. the 5c was well worth it. now once I get a sticky tire I can give it hell off the line
Well car has been treating me pretty damn good lately could not be any happier. I ended ordering my spindles (got them $300 off for new ones) ordered ARH 2 inch catless going to get those and the xpipe ceramic coated soon, electric water pump, vette air, some aluma stars for the front and some mickey Thompson pro bracket radials for the rear.
These are not actually mine still waiting for them to be delivered from weld
Awesome parts Clint! I've got the same ARH heads and Meziere EWP. One note on the EWP: drill a hole in the stat. I know the current instructions explicitly state that drilling is unnecessary....BS. I tried for days to purge the air from the system without much luck. If I had a vacuum fill it would have helped. Drill one 1/8" hole and you will avoid MUCH heartache....and scorching ECTs that drop to normal.

Thanks josh ill keep that in mind. Pry won't go on till September since I'm waiting for front runners which will pry be another 4 weeks. I'm actually deciding what I what my next build to be. I want to get a pro charged c7z or another BIG NA build more cubes and more extreme.

Big Cubes NA FTW! Are you thinking of a new engine only or a new car and new engine?
Love the front wheels Clint....how heavy is that wheel tire combo!?
When are we stepping up and doing round two....LOL
maybe in the next year or so. not sure on the weight but once they arrive I'll be sure the weigh them. I'll be in contact with you in the future for the next build.

2nd car what's better than one z06? 2 lol
These guys are not to far from me and I don't think that price is bad it was cheaper awhile back onsale. I wonder how that and a mamofied package mated to a 4l65e with a 4500 stall would be? Judging by how my car is now I can only guess it would be INSANE.
Got my headers and x pipe back from coating today very pleased with these. Both the inside and out are coated. Also my front runners showed up yesterday these things are beautiful and well worth the extra money over the RTS wheels imo. They are very light weighting in at 11lbs each. Lastly I had a very slight leak under car 3 drips one day and 2 the other day. Under normal driving its dry as a whistle. I ended up ordering a vacuum pump which will be here Friday as I'm sure I have to muh crankcase pressure. Thanks Josh for answering my questions.
I'm thinking of coating my exhuast. I already caught my O2 sensors connector on fire. Plus I have crazy cabin heat! Sweet wheels too! Waiting for pics on car

EE insulated tunnel plate made my cabin cooler with HCI and headers/catted X-pipe than stock with OEM tunnel plate. EE has three levels and I went with the mid-model.

Been kinda slacking but this is how shes sitting now. Looks nasty I hope to have new dyno numbers tomorrow. I kinda wanna swap out the 6l80e and put in a rpm level 7 4l65e with 3.73 gears. I think that would put me mid 9s in the quarter just basing it off other 4l65e swapped z06 I've seen.
I figured I would post a update since I haven't after I got the car back. Car ended up putting down 593/515 on my tuners mustang dyno. He has a dyno jet too he said reads 8-9% higher according to other customers he compared on there that would put me at 634-640 through a 6l80e which is damn impressive. Didn't gain as much as I thought it would but i can definitely feel the little bit of extra power. Anyways enough about dyno numbers.
My tuner does not have something tuned right after the vacuum pump install the car likes to stall and not idle right in town driving so he is going to attempt to fix it for free which I hope he can.
I've been watching josh's thread and following it religiously. If he has good gains with the holley hi ram I'm going to go that route too.
Next on the list after that is
4l65e eith 3.73 gears
Going to get tuned for ignite 114 I found it 40 miles away pretty happy about that.
Holley hi ram (depending on josh's results)
And hopefully do 100-150 lbs in weight reduction.
End goal is to hit 630 rwhp on the mustang dyno but every time I've been on it it's broke my heart lol.
