My Shelby GT350's FULL Mod List **Is it the PERFECT setup?

Follow me on Instagram @thejeffashton
In today's video I discuss all of the current modifications done to my 2017 Shelby GT350 (Mustang). These mods apply for the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 GT350 and GT350R. I wanted to compile this list now since I have some new modifications coming for the car that will completely transform my build. As the car sits, I would say it is setup as the perfect dual purpose car between street and track.
The current mods (mod list) include:
-Xineering Downshift Blip Module
-GT350R Front Splitter
-APEX 19x11 EC-7 Wheels
-Bridgestone RE-71R Tires
-Caliperfexion Studs
-Maximum Motorsports Camber Plates
-Track Alignment
-Castrol SRF Brake Fluid
-25MM Spacers
-Ferodo DSUNO Pads
-Watson Roll Bar
-Schroth Profi II ASM Harnesses
-Ford Performance Springs
-ARP Extended Studs
-Ford Performance Open Ended Lug Nuts
-2019+ Voodoo Gen II Engine Replacement (2017 Blown Engine @ 8,400 miles)

**Drop a comment and hit the like button IF you want to see videos of the new upgrades! What’s up guys? We’re back again, big upgrades/changes coming for the GT350. I’ve had a crazy month here with the little dude arriving back in mid February. Don’t worry though, we’re still going to be getting after it, he’s going to be a car guy too haha. 😁

[@travisschott7637]

Jeff Ashton great content as always! And congratulations on your baby boy! It’s awesome having a boy to raise, I love my nephews and I can’t wait to get the car guy bug instilled in them!!

[@JeffAshton]

Travis Schott thanks Travis, I’m looking forward to it as well! 😁

[@roc1rob593]

Looking good Jeff. I like when people drive the car for their design/ intended purpose. I DD and track my 2017 GT350 and love it. Just a bit of oil consumption between changes but nothing bad. With 34k on her, she runs like a champ. Hitting the Subscribe button for the mods.

[@JeffAshton]

ROC1ROB thanks Rob, I’m exactly the same. Tracking these cars is one of the most addicting/intoxicating feelings. Glad to hear your car has been holding up well, 34k miles, that’s how it’s done!

[@F_________________]

Thanks for doing this video. I’ve been curious about those pedals for my GT350. Heel toe downshifting is tricky with the stock pedal spacing.

[@JeffAshton]

kyle porter they are a huge upgrade, the stock pedals were impossible to heel toe downshift with IMO. The gap between the brake and gas pedal was way too big for me.

[@caldwelljamey]

I checked the pedals out and they make a standard, Med, and Extra Wide. Which size did you get or which do you recommend. I’ve got a 2016 GT350 thx

[@brandonburchell8]

Definitely add catless long tube headers and get fully tuned on E85 and that’d be the perfect N/A setup

[@higg2156]

The brown recliners are going to be really nice upgrade from the recaros.🤪

[@JeffAshton]

I’m pissed the foot rests won’t fit for added comfort. 😫😜

Thanks Jeff for sharing this...I like your Choice of Mods...I have to admit,,,the Stance of your Car is very Cool Looking...i would Keep that Car as long as you could...Be safe out there..See you on your next upload

[@JeffAshton]

rhampton1914 thanks man, I appreciate the kind words! I’ll have another video up sometime this upcoming week. 👍

[@CanadianCruisin]

It's an awesome car stock and it's just getting better with what's coming. I'd like to take my gt on the track one day just to see where she's at.

[@JeffAshton]

It’s addicting, especially once you realize how far you can actually push these cars.

[@cooverbennett4383]

Heck ya we wanna see all those mods, funny I noticed some of the same things I own. Race ramps, sundowner, ford performance tie down brackets. 👍

[@JeffAshton]

coover bennett haha, very good taste! I’ve been loving the trailer setup, well worth the investment.

[@evanclark233]

Definitely want to see that "Trim Height Reset" video for the MagneRide! Also, what do you think of the BMR springs and camber/caster plates?

[@JeffAshton]

I’m pretty sure the BMR springs are stiffer versus the Ford Performance springs. Having been on track with my setup, I would welcome a stiffer spring. I haven’t taken a look at their camber plate setup yet, but I’m planning to add their bolts in addition to my plates.

[@coneman5.273]

Thanks Jeff I’ve been waiting on this one. Awesome job. BTW- I got confirmed for FPR in Charlotte March 26th....going to miss my track attack brother!! Going to see how that GT500 performs.

[@JeffAshton]

That’s will be sick! Did you sign up for a 1 or 2 day? I wish they had an option to rent one for an open track day. Or something like day 2 of track attack where we had the GT but with the GT500 instead.

[@coneman5.273]

Jeff Ashton I did that free 1/2 day session. Was on waiting list until they opened up the second day. I was flying out that week anyway so it worked out perfect. Just redirected my flight a day early. It obviously not the full track attack but I’ll take the 1/2 day!!

[@JCK119]

Of course we want to see the videos of the new upgrades AND detailed install. But just wondering, how come you didn't track the GT? Were you just not into tracking back then? Didn't really know about it?

[@JeffAshton]

Jared C. Kim exactly, I had done autocross in the past which was just okay but once I got my feet wet with a real road course everything changed for me.

[@billlovest6049]

Well Glad I found this sheltered in place in California this sure helps. I hope you, and yours are safe 😷🙏🏽 Mr. Ashton congrats on your New born.

[@realtalk4689]

I definitely like that build and the future plans for the car.

[@toothybj]

Sick car. Love it. I saw that the GT350 has the same block as the GT500, so it’s probably a better value to get the GT350 ($20k less) and mod it if that’s what you want to do. Agree? Did you ever consider getting the GT350R?

[@davidkuntz9842]

Completely wrong you are bud

[@f.mazz.459]

Omg that's a beauty! Love the wheels. I'm usually not a fan of metallic blue, but this one with the black and white trim racing stripe is pretty darn nice

[@everyday234]

looking good Jeff..good luck on the track

[@JeffAshton]

Tom E thanks Tom! I’m patiently waiting for my next event at the beginning of May. 🙂

[@KevinTran-kh1mz]

Love your setup! Can you tell me where you got and how you installed those srp pedals?

[@JeffAshton]

Kevin Tran www.srpracing.com - install is easy, just remove the pedals by prying them off. Then bolt the gas pedal and dead pedal on with self tapping screws. For the clutch and the brake you will just drill out a hole or two and mount them where you want!

[@calvinmack206]

Awesome video. Congrats on the little one. Man I am on the fence. Nov or Dec. Either the Mustang GT performance package or go all in on the Shelby 350. I have a 95 Gt. Its been a great car. The engine is rock solid. I think about reliability. Nice long drives. Do I see myself with the 350 I dont plan to do track days. Do I want to spend an extra $15K?

[@mg_streetkandi]

Nice Video..keep the updates coming..congrats btw..🎊🎉🏁👍

Hemi 300C thanks! 🙌

[@supabuck2822]

Do you like this one better or the whipple GT? Did you end up selling the GT, haven’t seen it lately.

[@JeffAshton]

I honestly prefer the GT350, partly because it opened me up to tracking my car. Driving on a good road course, pushing the limits of your car, it’s addicting and intoxicating. Having magnetic ride along with flat plane crank that revs to 8,250 makes it unreal.

[@Oreo_5oh]

Jeff Ashton What about your whippled GT?

[@SnakrGarage]

hey Jeff, nice content man. This color is Kona Blue?

[@avocado9763]

Very very good. Thanks. Tires are outrageous.

[@LucasSi919]

I see you have both the 350 and M2 in the shop. Which one would you say is better for a nice weekend warrior and occasional track car plus cost of maintenance in comparison?

[@TheCdM1981]

The Ford performance lowering springs made for magneride is the exact spring made for the R I believe. It lowers it .77in.

[@JeffAshton]

C M the Ford Performance springs are not the same as the R springs.

[@TheCdM1981]

Jeff Ashton you sure about that because from what I understand they’re the exact same right down to the sku#. Which is why you can’t find cobra r springs online or any where for sale.

[@timmietz]

I already had the 2020 M2 Comp that I bought last year and now I’ve just order the 2020 Heritage GT350R. Great minds think alike. LOL

[@agentorange_3025]

How are the ford performance springs. Are they firmer than stock? Trying to choose between ford... bmr.... steeda dual rate. Not really on track. More street and straight line performance.
