Let us know how that goes. That's an amazing power increase.

Only the old one (that I have more money into than it's worth) has actually been paid off.

Good Lord, that's sick.
You better get bigger beef to hold that thing on the road.

Ford programming for that 2.9 Whipple is spot on. You shouldn't have any drivability issues like some of the other superchargers out there. I'm going with the new 3.0 Whipple kit they have out for the new 18 5.0 Coyote in the GT's....800 plus crank hp...

You are one focused son of a gun. I really hope this venture works out. You've put a lot into it.

The Coyote is crazy. And yes, the whipple kit comes with all the other hardware that needs swapping out and the tune

Yes. Deer don’t really stand a chance. The rear has saved me a bunch of times as well. Especially in the woods

So after getting geeked up about cars again on this thread(thanks 78) I decided to take the GT500 to work today. I drive this car maybe 4 or 5 times a month because I don't like to drive it in the rain and I typically don't like to put "non fun" miles on it(it has 17,300) that's what my Tundra and 18 GT are for.....Anyway about halfway there I notice a guy next to me with his window down and taking a cell phone video. I do a double take and realize it's a Shelby GT500, same color and looks to be a 2007-2009 car which are pretty much the same car...I ask what year and he says 2009.....he ask "what are you making" I respond right around 700...he says "same as me"...At this point we are side by side going about 30-35MPH.....Not for long 
.
I guess we both got the same idea right about the same time and all hell broke loose for the next stretch of road. Anyway after a little hoonage I pulled into my favorite Wawa store and he followed me around the back. We parked and talked about 30 minutes or so and it turns out that he has THE SAME EXACT car AND set up......Only his wheels which were still stock and his catback exhaust were different. We had our cars tuned and modded by the same shop, the same pulley swap, same carbon fiber air intake, same brand of headers and same 1000HP clutch....Now keep in mind that only 152 of this car was made in 2009 in the Metallic Alloy color. Funny part is that the guy who was really cool lives on the next lake over and is about the same age as me....what are the odds right? Here's a couple pictures he took..

Crete, cars are one of the shyttier investments you can make. Having a car you really like to drive sit in the garage because you've convinced yourself that turning it into a garage queen will significantly enhance its value, is just plain flawed thinking.
It's a freaking car. Drive it.
You bought if for the driving enjoyment, now go do the car and yourself a favor and go run the piss out of it regularly. The car will thank you and and you'll be a lot happier.
