Wow I've never seen someone build a 3v with so much attention to detail. I've also never seen such a lack of hate on the 3v itself in the comments. A welcome change for sure!!!!!

[@anthonylaudano9751]

The 3v gets so much hate there not the fastest mustang ever but 05 to 09 in my opinion is the best body style

[@carguy3028]

I think the 3 valve is a great engine, sure not as good as a 4 valve but still a good engine. It would make a great swap engine for an old hotrod, they make enough power to be fun and not overwhelm the chassis on an older car and the price is dropping.

[@joeschmo9838]

@@anthonylaudano9751 Yup...I'd love the new 5.0 in my car but it isn't worth the money or effort to do so. I've read up on the swap and you're talking around $15k said and done for a respectable car. Might as well just spend $10k and have Shelby rockin the 5.4 :) Or using the money spend on an '05-'09 and getting a low mileage Termie, upgrade pullies and be done for the day >:) *gear mashin*

I'm amazed the custom tune ramped up numbers that much, really goes to show that a car is only as good as what's holding it all together. Unreal camera quality and drone shots, looks almost like digital animation at some points. I've got friends running bags and coils. My take: airlift setups work just as well as coils, if you find the right one. And the convenience factor seals the deal for a daily driver. Always gotta appreciate the "welcome to chapter 2" plugs in spanish, lol, that's a throwback to HS for sure.

These videos are honestly great. I'm aiming for 500-600rwhp on my 3v but way down the road since I'm a broke college student and just got the car like 2 weeks ago and I just love seeing these "stage" vids especially since I'm on the fence. It definitely might be more "efficient" to slap the CAI/full exhaust + a turbo/blower and get a light custom tune to get closer to that right off the start. But at the same time I wanna "grow" into the car, and just really have all the supporting mods on it first anyways and throw a forged shortblock down the road as well. Plus it might be cool to try and go for 400-500rwhp N/A with a shortblock and bolt ons + a custom tune before a blower. Pero whatever I'm rambling, great video man!

I love what your doing with the 3valve!! Cant wait I only have a offroad x and muffler delete with the jlt series 3 cai and a 93r bama tune but hopefully soon I can start heading into what you have basically done for stage 2! I would also say go with coilovers over the air, only reason I would say is because it's less weight. But then again you will be going boost so I guess it wouldn't matter too much especially if you did like a rear seat delete and some lighter "race" seats. But cant wait for the next one keep them coming man!!

[@Four_Eyes]

Good point about the weight.

[@donschrider8994]

Great videos. Keep them coming. You are getting wheel hop - need better lower control arms (BMR is budget friendly, J&M are really nicely made, I went with Steeda Chromolly steel). The lockout (missed gear) you are experiencing is in part from movement of the drivetrain. Some urethane motor mounts will help there. You can even get a urethane kit and redo the stock and do the trans mounts. If you go with a new shifter, which would be a great idea - get the MGW or Barton. MGW is simply the best and many folks that have tried others end up adding a MGW down the road. Air suspension is for looks - decreases handling and drag abilities of the suspension. Cams are tough as you final goal must be in mind or your will spend twice. Lots of folks do the FRPP Hot Rod cams - which are designed to work with the FRPP intake, throttle body, heads, and a set of headers (without those, only top end gains, loss down below and improved sound). Brenspeed Detroit Rockers are better street cam - no loss of torque but not as high a gain, good sound. Better choices for power gains would include Comp Cams 127200, Cushman Cams, or a custom grind from Anderson Ford Motorsports. But cams choice depends on drivability desires, willingness to change springs, and final build goal - turbo, supercharger, or N/A... Good luck

[@Four_Eyes]

Excellent information. Thank you Don.

[@jasondelancey9893]

Just to add a little about the good info above that will eliminate the lock out you are experiencing ,doing the urethane mounts alone are good but wont eliminate it from my experience but a good place to start because the stock mounts are horrible what really worked along with them is something you usually don't hear about and that's the ( K- Member Brace with Torque limiters by CHE ) cheperformance.com Part # CHE7L $179.00) Takes care of the excessive drive train movement and is easy to install and stabilizes the trans so your shifts wont be affected . I have this set up on both my S-197 - Roush and on My Shelby GT-500 - This took care of the lock out all together in all my situations of abuse - along with the urethane engine mounts and a Barton shifter just my preference the MGW is a great shifter also these are the only 2 shifters I would really recommend for the S-197 .The Barton is just a little stiffer while shifting, something to keep in mind when deciding . The MGW is closer to the stock feel easier to move between gears but they both will do the same job - again going to be personal preference . Hope this helps !

[@davidw7080]

Don good information, however I'm failing to see anyone who has done the FRPP cams actually gain more top end power verse the Detroit rocker cams NA grind, can you supply any evidence for this claim? One thing I do know for sure is Brenspeed doesn't publicly release there camshaft profiles. From the extensive research I have done myself (own a 06 gt with cams and frpp bolt ons) I am aware that the cam profiles of both FRPP and detroit rockers NA are very close.

[@dalelockett2619]

IMHO, if you really want to eliminate the shift lockouts w\ the Tremec TR3650 trans you need to install a Blowfish Racing Remote Shifter bracket to make any TR3650 shifter on any S197 a fully trans-mounted shifter to eliminate the shifter shaft binding due to the shifter being remote mounted (meaning the front section of shifter is mounted to the transmission but the rear section of shifter is mounted to the unibody so when the drivetrain flexes under load it tends to "twist" the shifter assembly causing the shifter fork shaft to induce a side load which will cause the shaft to "hang" or drag during shifting). Using a heavier built shifter (like the MGW or Barton) will help w\ this but the Blowfish Racing Remote Shifter bracket will eliminate this entirely as w\ this bracket installed the ENTIRE shifter assembly is physically mounted to the transmission & it moves w\ the drivetrain eliminating ANY shifter fork shaft binding during shifts. I have 1 of these installed on my '09 Stang using the stock shifter & it's worth it's $299.99 cost in spades as I don't miss any shifts. Combine this bracket w\ a Barton or MGW shifter & you've got a winning combo. This bracket also is a fully NHRA-certified front driveshaft safety loop when installed. AM & CJ Pony Parts carries them or you can order from Blowfish Racing. FYI......

About damn time !! When will stage 3 be out ?

[@jrwou1]

After using an under drive pulley kit for 5 years, I finally reverted back to the stock pulleys about 2 months ago. I began monitoring vitals via Torque Pro about 3 years ago and noticed that my operating temps in heavy stop/go traffic in the summer would routinely get above 215 with no AC & 240 with the AC running. I live in the OKC area where its commonly hits 90+ with 70%+ humidity starting in June ~September. During the cooler months normal operating temp no AC would be about 200 and 210 with AC. I've upgraded to the GT500 cooling fan, replaced coolant pump and replaced degass bottle cap. So far with the stock pulleys re-installed my operating temp no AC has is about 192 and so far with AC the peak I have seen was 206 (we hit 92 with about 60% humidity a few days ago). Keeping my fingers crossed that I continue to see lower temps in the peak hot/humid season. Certainly hope to keep it well below 240.

I formally had very close to your Stage 1 setup (SCT canned tune 93 Octane , Airaid Cold Air, Akropovik Cat Back Exhaust[I had the Pupes it was WAYYYYYyyyy to loud]) My car is an automatic, so I did a few other mods, but they are not really changing power (4.10 gears, TCI Ratchet Shifter, Ford Perf/Brembo BBK, Ford Perf Brembo/Track Pack Wheels, Ford Perf Shocks and Springs [K Springs]) My most recent upgrade was an Edelbrock e-Force Supercharger Kit (stage-2, their stage 2 not mine). Still getting this all dialed in, but I will continue to watch the videos, and would absolutely love to share some information back and forth. Again great videos and thanks so much for sharing.
