Transforming my Mustang into a Supercar (Road to 700 - Stage 1)

Join me on a journey to transform my 2007 Ford Mustang GT into a Supercar. The s197 three-valve is known to be an underachiever out of the factory. I am on a mission to change that. Future upgrades include headers, heads, cams (eventually), boost, and significant suspension improvements.

[@SinnersWay]

I am just starting on my 2006 Mustang GT....extreme amature...I ordered the same air intake you have...but need to get a tuner but have no idea how to use one. They said that the intake can run with or without tune with the attacment provided, but i read it dont perform half as good as tuned...any advice?

[@Four_Eyes]

@@SinnersWay Just get a canned Bama tune for the CAI. After that, save up for a supercharger, like a procharger. You can buy a complete kit and bypass most of the headache and expenses.

[@georgehuerta1990]

If you want to help your brakes even more change the brake lines to braided

[@anthonylaudano9751]

Hands down my favorite body style Mustang and my Fox bodies is the other

[@anthonylaudano9751]

I love you're car but honestly you get too 700hp with ease with a 07 09 GT 500.Same body style lol way stronger motor and same with the transmission.I know a GT 500 even the 07 09 is a lot more expensive than a GT.I have a 07 Shelby GT and I love the car but too try too get it on the level of my GT500 or my 2 super snakes would take tons of money and it isn't worth it.But whatever floats your boat.The 07 09 right now are at the cheapest prices out there but trust me they will go up.So but now

[@manlavi90]

You're significantly easier to watch compared to any other Mustang youtuber I've seen to date, keep it up

[@Tyrant96]

Good Editing Too👏👏

[@rustyretired]

Why though?

[@darelboyer4215]

Six years on, that this content is still absolutely solid, mate. Starting my own journey with an '07 GT, and your experience and perspective have already saved me a significant amount of headache and wasted cash. Cheers!

[@nickjames3569]

Just starting my own journey with my 06’ GT, would appreciate any advice on where to start after installing the cold air intake.

[@darelboyer4215]

@@nickjames3569 Depends on your desired outcome. I don't do track days, quarter mile times, or street drags. I want my ride to look good, sound better, and be fun to drive. So, I've added Pypes high flow cats and the Ford Performance Hotrod cams, but that'll likely be the extent of my "performance" mods (until I can afford long-tube headers).

[@bliighted1822]

im about to buy a 07 mustang aswell, and i always come back to these videos

[@Nautricity]

You got potential for a KZbin channel, you really should upload more often.

[@GA08GT478]

Nice to see another 3V build! I'll be watching your progress.

[@timb1762]

I’m binge watching your channel lol good stuff

[@BarbecueHockey]

Planning on getting an s197 from 2005-2009 and I'm going to put a Roush Phase 2 supercharger, and a Roush cold air intake

[@jeremysimo1082]

How did your roush phase 2 supercharger install go? Worth it not worth it?

[@Gothorionix]

I thoroughly enjoyed the creativity, deversity, and clarity in this video. You've got a beautiful S197 GT; you're more than merely inspiring some of your subscribers. Best of luck to your future upgrading agendas; I'll be along for the ride, undoubtedly. Keep up the excellent work.

[@TenantDan]

I really like how you added in the dyno sheet overlay as it was getting dyno'd! I like how you're doing this build, gonna keep up with it

[@dmcepeda]

Great content and personality! Subscribed and going to watch this road to 700!

[@brandoncollins6621]

S197 07GT over here.....I'm sold....def upbringing and going to watch this build!!!

[@dandanthebabyman]

Your spreadsheet seems very well put together and reasonable, and the cost of each stage seem accessible, I'd love to do this myself one day.

[@LiamRodriguez1967]

Absolutely loved this video. Super high quality content. Hoping you make more of these videos in the future!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Love your videos! Looking forward to more of them. The S197 GT is the best looking Mustang ever made in my opinion.

[@sidewayzzdaniel3551]

Im not gonna lie but dam that mustang is clean af

[@Deez992]

Already you’re on my top 3 list for car KZbinrs

[@richardledergerber]

Great Video, really enjoyed the structure and the idea of various stages in the way you have it documented. Hope the other videos of the various stages are done as well.

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Richard, that's the plan.

[@Pootersbooters]

subbed, looking forward to seeing the process of this build

[@nelsonjyspd]

Bro I'm watching this video again...quality stuff man...the scenery is real nice out there...the ending drive and music...😎👌

[@MrDerp33]

I had no idea that was your first video, you put it together very and the commentary was spot on. It's nice to see a mustang video by a guy that isn't a D-bag

[@everythingjonathan8008]

I am just now watching the first episode and I love it. I am debating on doing this when I get my mustang. I really appreciate how much time and energy you put in this and I will watch the whole series

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Jonathon ✌️

[@chunkiehunk5201]

Much love to the 3V, I love mine. Really excited to come across this build, will be following in depth.

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Andrew ✌

[@neerscam3396]

For someone who really wants to get into cars and an 05-09 mustang gt was a childhood dream car, this video series has me absolutely hyped

[@MrMiles40]

Dude you are pretty cool. I just purchase my first Mustang last week (2007 GT, 4.6). Looking forward to watching your transformation.

Love you man, you deserve more subs

[@selfmade803]

great driving. Getting mine tomorrow

[@clints8731]

I like your car. Nothing wrong with that engine at all. I would love to have one. My dad had a Porsche928s that only had 280 hp. It was built in 88 and that thing was an amazing cruiser.

Excellent quality videos you have earned yourself a new subscriber

[@brianschooley3833]

Just seeing this now . dude you did a good job with the mustang. Don't say negative things about your personal car and project. It is a muscle car now

[@charlesstraley9274]

Not a muscle car

I have a 07 mustang gt as well! I’m watching you to gain inspiration to build mine!

[@mustangman3403]

nice ..about to start my build also ..so I will stay tuned ..

[@100thomasmagnum]

I really like your vids! I wont be going the 700 hp way, but your initial bolt on mods are good. Keep us informed. On run two, u would have gone sub 6 but for the wheel hop. My 2008 GT was doing that until i got BMR rear upper and lower control arms amd frame mount. Hooked up better.

yeah fo sure getting one of these you made me want one just super clean

that was a smooth as transition from sunglasses to regulars.

[@PhantomSturm]

Great looking car even now. Ford always had pretty good sounding V-8 exhausts imo. The SVT Cobra is still one of my favorites.

I love seeing 05-09 s197 builds man!

Underrated channel

[@chrisswenbeck3104]

Awesome video thanks your video s help me with my 05 GT mod decision I agree with you there lacking alot of power when they made the 07 5.0 coyote after

[@jrag1000]

haha the sunglasses, yup need glasses too. Ah the O.E. brakes, yup almost nothing... Got a Focus St loaner while mine was in the shop and the brakes were night and day... Was having fun with the Focus it felt like a tron cycle... Got back into the Mustang and definitely noticed the lack of brakes...

[@snicker3001]

Cant wait to start my build. Good looking car man. 06 GT Windveil blue.. lol fastest color they make

[@GpLuigi16]

If you want a real throw you back in your seat feeling, 4.10 are an option. I put them in my 2006 GT and it takes off. You might lose some top end speed though, but it's not very much, and the 0-60 pick up is worth it in my opinion. Again though if you prefer top end speed over quicker acceleration, then you could go 3.73 or stay with the stock gears. All in what you want out of your car. Sick ride thought. I like the set up. I put long tube headers and an X pipe, with Borla Stingers and it sounds amazing.

[@tony09305]

Like another commenter said, this quality video is up to par if not better than most you tubers. Great job. I'm from Miami fl and I'm exremely jealous of those winding roads and scenery. Love my old 3v and look forward to seeing this series. I read the mod sheet and I'll suggest aftermarket camshafts if you want to take advantage of your other planned mods. Especially the aftermarket heads and fr intake manifold! If you stay n/a 4.10s if you do end up fi your stock 3.55s should be perfect.

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks man! These comments go a long way for me, sure appreciate them. At least in Miami you are at sea level, but yes we have some challenging roads up here in the Sierras. Still looking for a camshaft that provides just slightly more lift and duration, because I've read that at my altitude large cams can destroy performance below 2k rpm and cause the car to often die when idle. Also 100% definitely going with boost. I'm in the middle of editing my next video, dropping next week. Thank you for subscribing.

[@rostang50]

I know how ya feel Tony, IM in Jacksonville and it's flat here. I miss Tennessee Roads

[@asorjvideochannel3895]

Nice man i am working carefully on my 06 stang gt since 3 yrs.. choosing parts and building the engine after studying and reading about stroker engines.. my project will be custom twin turbo it should put arround +800 wrhp..

[@1991tommygun]

3 valve is life, my car is fbo with around 350whp but going b326 brenspeed stroker iron block with a procharger f1a

[@cruzanity7478]

Just saw both of your videos and I just want to let you know that your video quality(video edits, camera angles, video information, etc) is great! As your first video, this looks like something a KZbinr who'd have years of experience with 500k subscribers would create. It is amazing what you created here! I know this channel will grow within a matter of months. As for your modifications; those were perfect for Stage 1. First mods should always be what you showed us in this video. I saw your google sheet and I must say, you are heading the correct direction. I would suggest Ford Performance 4.10 Gears as well, but perhaps you have a reason behind not upgrading them? I am just curious, maybe a gear upgrade will not work with your future mods or something. Let me know, I will happy to hear from you back, bro. Greetings from South Texas!

[@Four_Eyes]

Really really appreciate your comment. You're exactly right about the gears, once I get the turbo installed, I'd be rowing thru the gears so quickly w/ 4.10s that the car wouldn't be realizing the full benefits of forced induction. I remember seeing a comment by nola504boy1 who experienced this issue on his Mustang. If I were looking to build an N/A drag car, I would defs go with 4.10s. The overall goal is to make this stang really well rounded... eventually. Again, thank you for the feedback.

[@mr.2cents.846]

Nice ride I'm happy for you. Oh, and I and happy new year.

[@Chibbs.E]

That A-Spec Acura TL at 24:10 though. Lol. Super sick build man. I just found you and this was the first video I've watched. Can't wait to get caught up. Great production value and the 3v is definitely one of the best sounding V8's ever!

[@Four_Eyes]

thanks man 🙏

Thanks Brian ✌️

[@josiahbradley2434]

Great job on the information and the editing in the video. Very professional! You earned a subscriber and I’ll be happy to chime in any info if you need some. 👍

[@Nine7Media]

the 05-09 3v are the best sounding muscle v8 ever made.

[@tonygruber7665]

Nice to see someone else staggered wheels at 18 and 19. This is exactly the setup I'm planning to do. Is it 19x10 on the rear? I'm torn between 10 and 11. Probably go with 10, just cause it keeps the weight of the wheel lower.

Going have to build bottom end

soo just to say if i got a v6 camaro pushing 300 horsepower does the same thing with different stages apply?

[@hawkstringfellow]

Nice building am old school stang

[@uggamugga99]

Quality video, I'm interested to see what you can get out of that 3v since most do an engine swap for that kind of power. I do have a couple of suggestions however. In the spreadsheet you mention forged internals in stage V. If you go that route, it would be wise to get a forged 5.0 stroker kit, unless of course you want to keep it at that displacement so you can say you have a 700hp 4.6. Also if you're putting that much power in the car, might want to upgrade the breaks sooner rather than later. It's one of the things often overlooked when building a fast car. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

[@Four_Eyes]

Something about "five-oh" really rolls off the tongue. I think I am going to go with this: www.modularmotorsportsracing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_7_54&products_id=354 I'd love to upgrade the brakes, but for a really bamf set, they are as much as boost. But I'll definitely go overkill on them at some point. I have my eye on these Brembos: www.carid.com/2007-ford-mustang-brakes/brembo-gt-series-2-piece-curved-vane-type-iii-brake-kit-45042907.html?parentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|GT

[@uggamugga99]

Good choice. 5 liters will give you a bit more to play with to achieve 700 hp. There's no replacement for displacement. You may also want to consider the Ford Performance hot rod cams. I've seen other 3v builds with these and the sound is incredible. About as close to an old school v8 sound as you can get with a modern engine. It will really compliment your axle back exhaust and they're good for +30hp on a stock engine. I would wait until you upgrade the heads before fooling with cams though. No sense in pulling the engine apart any more than you have to. There are also much cheaper upgrades you should do first that will yield more gains. Here's a link to the cams: www.americanmuscle.com/ford-hotrodcam-0509.html?Engine%20-%20Camshafts%7CFord%20Performance&AMM%202005-2014%20No%20Years&T5_Var3=blue&T5_Var4=24073&intl=0&gclid=CPnizPmemdkCFbabswodqYAPmQ&gclsrc=ds
