Looking like this weekend

Hopefully you can catch a break in the rain and get a little first drive impression video@@TheHotSauceGT350

It's been a crazy year. Started saving for this kit and didn't want to break anything while I was saving. I was gonna wait till December to move forward with turbo swap, but Mike gave me a hell of a deal, and he was able to sell my Whipple and Kooks almost overnight.

I came in a rock and a hard spot. I love Lund and can ultimately go back to if I feel O'Grady isn't up to the task. The fact they had the split and discussion with Mike about it and understanding why "I can't mention here but you can reach out to him personally." I'm just in a rock and hard spot. I don't like the idea of being a go between a tuner and a shop that isn't communicating. I want HPJ to build my car because of their experience. I want to be able to drive it out of there and not have to be a 3rd party between Lund and HPJ. Honestly, if it were up to me... I'd put Mike and Sr./Jr. In a room and make them make it good again, but it's not gonna happen. So I decided I would let HPJ tune the car. If I get gapped by a Lund car, I can always go back to Lund. I am doubtful Mike would allow O'Grady to tune my car, knowing it would shit bricks on the dyno. But I respect your choice and decision. I am sure HPJ did lose customers because of this. I, however, will still rep them, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Lund and highly recommend them as well.

@@TheHotSauceGT350 I think that is very well said and well-reasoned. If I already had my car at HPJ, I am sure I would be similar to you. I had a great conversation with Mike and I just did not want to have the shop and tuner not able to communicate. I did not want to be the 3rd party, or have to lie to either HPJ or Lund about the other's presence. Tough situation all-around because HPJ is the go-to in the STL area, in-house tuning aside. When my 350 goes hellion, I am not sure where I will go because we do not have a great variety of choices.

Reach out to HPJ. They did all the work on my motor. The owner said that the main thing to look for is compression. He said the tolerances are tighter, but compression would be when to refresh the motor.

There's a name for it. It's called drag racing or street racing cause they're doing it in public

Happened to my friend practically month layer with his roush blower car, and he made less than 700hp. I also found from reading forums and talking to the techs over at HPJ Performance this mod fails all the time due to the deflection, and their is only 1 way to manage this.

@@TheHotSauceGT350 And what’s the fix? I’m not running this kind of power but, if/when I upgrade, I certainly wouldn’t want that kind of failure.

@liquidsmokemustang1537 the BMR kit 050 or the steeda brace, which is way more but doesn't involve cutting out and removing the rear rubber bushings and pressing in the new solid mounts of the BMR kit.

@@TheHotSauceGT350 Did you run the Steeda subframe brace or bmr irs support bars along with these diff bushings?

@@TroyRossberg BMR subframe brace.

It made just under 1100hp

If you follow my channel you notice that I have had a 13 as well but not click bait. I just use a random thumb nail. You can clearly see its a GT350

What were you doing? Mine sounds like absolute shit

Honestly I thought Matt(White Whipple) would have fucked up Tony's green Boss and so did everyone else but Tony put 2 cars on him every single time. Either Tony's car is a factory freak or Matt's car is hurt...

I have a few aide hustles that help out. My IT career has lead to me getting access to 4 year old laptops that I can sell on Marketplace after I decomission them. I normally sell them for $100 to $300 per device. Also do a lot of IT gigs on the side helps.

Unfortunately, no. I ended up using just the 10rib kit and decided my next major upgrade is a pair of Hellion sleepers in the winter instead of a Whipple 3.8

@TheHotSauceGT350 yea I think I am going to go with just the 10 rib kit. Is it still loosing belts since you put it back to stock location

@@timsears7439 no. I haven't lost any belts.

Ok sounds like maybe I will give that a try thx

Yes I did

Yes I did. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it running as it would continue to walk off the belt.

My alternator belt keeps coming off gen 2 coyote 10rib setup with the alternator relocation kit

Did you end up swapping the entire balancer or just the front plate?

My best guess is h End of the year. I'm about $1400 in savings since the beginning of the year. My target is 8k to order the kit from Hellion directly or Beefcake Racing.

@@TheHotSauceGT350 That sounds perfect to when I will be ready. I don't want my car down all summer, so I was planning to put it in the shop late fall/winter. If you get your money up first or get another buyer that's cool. But I am very interested.

@Oliver Bryan at this rate, I'd assume between December and March next year. As long as nothing crazy happens between no and then. Plus I'm not planning on racing it much this year. Mostly cruises and random hits.

@@TheHotSauceGT350 What all are you selling? I'm interested in the Whipple, headers, maybe other things too. I know you have a fore system, so I'll get my own baps. I think our timing may work out.

@Oliver Bryan when I go to sell it. $6500 Whipple (6rib kit) (whole kit) $1800 for the 10rib kit $3000 for the Kooks LTs and Xpipe $1000 for the TigVision Icetank w/all the lines etc. You'll need to only drill out 3 holes for the bulkhead hardware.

FPC motor

Didn’t count Caddy was right there and pulling but there was a car in the way

Selling it for $6500 with the 6rib setup

Personally love it!

Basically replacing wear items. Bearings, rings Etc.

It made 760whp on 93 with 8lbs. 17lbs it made 1000hp but belt kept slipping on the dyno and breaking. March 6th it hits the dyno. Should have numbers for the 4.000 pulley and 3.500 pulley. 14/19lbs. My guess is mid to high 800s and the smaller pulley 1000hp+
