This series just got real! Be sure to check out what G&G is putting together on their car after you watch this video LOL ~ https://youtu.be/RNVvxt6o7DQ
Unfortunately that throttle body added nothing…
Oh man, can’t wait! 🎉🎉🎉
and sheer goofiness
that windshield is gonna crack for sure lol
For $7500 I'd just buy a C5 corvette and beat any mustang at anything.
I'm more of a mechanic than you ever will be son. My videos and skills speak for their self. You have mechanic skills of a clown.
Them 2vs can take a beating really
The rods on this 2 valves are like tooth picks 😂 it’s going to definitely blow
I would pull the motor and gap the rings for NOs. I also would change the rods and main bearings….even do a DYI port job on the heads if you have time, re seat the valves if it needs it. All can be done for cheap and definitely help take more NOS…..in the end anything can happen so good luck.
Soooo for 4500 bucks you made 70 hp… like come on.. you spent all that time on bushings and did Nos and added 70hp??? 70?? Like wtf? Oh and alllll that stuff y’all did and never occurred to you to do SPARK PLUGS!! lol what is going on how do you have 4500 to make a car fast and get 70hp… that’s sad
The ll cool j ref was fire 🔥
Go check out my 2v😉
Ford and GM are watching this series?
😎👍
I like the path you took… Balanced approach. Mine would have been much more dumb, and involved some junkyard supercharger stupidity + nitrous + ideally a C4 vette. (does that count as a muscle car?…) or maybe just clapped out Coyote truck engine into V6 mustang body.
200 shot no problem
You just lost the race. You should toss the nitrous and throw a blower in it
You could do an extra clutch disk for the limited slipp that's a old mod guy's did. I just did it to mine
How did you not delete the AC/smog and throw some cheap under drive pullies on it?
34:00 – my reaction when I see that nitrous shoot out the hood
Had the same set up 98 Gt with Pi head swap 373 gears. 150 shot on Et streets it ran a 12.1 1/4 mile untuned many years ago
Wow, you guys went the extra mile and filmed each step for DIYers – nice work
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Earn 10k month free Workshop Go "about section".🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸💘💘💘💘💝💝💝💖💚💚💜💜💙
With $100 for an engine gasket set I’m sure y’all could have pulled heads and pistons and opened up the ring gap. Would’ve allowed more nitrous to be used before having isssues
It's a 4.6 run 150 shot
Great videos can’t wait for the racing vid but also you know yours not mustangs guys when you buy SR performance parts onky real mustang guys know what I’m talking about😂
Hey Charles just wanted to say that I look up to you as a mechanic❤️ Been in the industry for just under two years, trying to learn as much as I can and always get the customer right
What tool were you using to fill the dif and trans with
Why even bother with the dif clutches? Just weld it and call it good
just swap the mufflers with straight pipes. Better exhaust flow more power
The cheap fix for the clutches in the rear diff is just add another clutch especially if you are not concerned with churping the tires a little in the parking lot in tight turns
i just got 3.73 gears in my 03 gt yesterday and they have been a blast! cant wait to see how much it changed the car when i go to little rock in march!
Get this garbage out of my YT feed.
Cant wait to see the result. Its amazing what you're doing
I always found it odd American rear axles manufacturer couldn't provide a proper drain bolt…My 1984 Datsun R200 has one….my Toyota truck has one Nissan NV2500 work van has one…..even my old my camry has a separate diff drain…..none of the many American vehicles I have owned ever had one just remove the pan…a mess
why would they be dissing one of the best mustangs for reliablilty 😭
You guys are gonna get smoked
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Caleb is a great tuner I drive over 3 hours for him to tune the mustangs I buy
Haha I bet this diff service is the first proper diff service that has been performed on a mustang in the past 30 years
oh god when the tire was being balanced that poor wheel looked super bent
