7:50 strut tower brace removal, super helpful!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@Mr.window1 Excellent! Glad to hear the video helped.

[@BadgerGT500]

Really appreciate you taking the time to make these man. Been a huge help.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks for the feedback! 🍻

[@Konastang18]

Awesome video Tim. No frills to the point how to video. Well done. That supercharger definitely sounds different with the new lid. No doubt about that.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks Mr. Keith! 🍻

[@mattwarren2742]

Excellent narrative Tim 💎🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks Matt! 🍻

[@maintenancethrottle]

Excellent video, Tim!!!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks Fletch! 🍻

[@JKennedySVT]

Great job on that install video!!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks! 🍻

[@6598901]

From where you get the signature plate on the Lid ? It look like custom plate

[@ShelbyFlyer]

A member on the GT500 forum made them for me: www.fordgt500.com/posts/3011207/

[@randyabney7834]

Awesome job. Again.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thank you sir! 🍻

[@scottjohnson6019]

Looks sick through

[@MiddletonMotorsports]

Great video!!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks! 🍻

[@rayrodriguez4653]

Going to order mine.

[@mikewatch1487]

I like the whine. I had a 2021 GT500 and no whine at all. My 2008 KR had a nice whine from the SC.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

My 2011 GT500 with a 2.9 Whipple is a screamer!

[@rickdearmas]

Great video as always. This mod is amazing. Any reason you don’t run a cold air kit?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks Rick! My car is mostly used on road course tracks. I never changed intakes because I have not been convinced of the benefit. Stationary dyno stats could be different than a car moving forward getting air through the grille snorkel. Also, the lid seals out warm engine air.

[@garretjax7232]

Excellent video!! This is on my mod list for my 2022 GT500.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks! 🍻 My install portion should make it easy for you.

[@SidneyB76]

@@ShelbyFlyeris this a warranty killer ? Do you know ?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@SidneyB76 Should not affect warranty. It maintains stock pulley and stock tune.

[@SidneyB76]

@@ShelbyFlyer thank you Been trying to decide if I should extend my warranty but I know one day I am going to mod it Btw, I have a Ruby Red ‘22 GT500 You car help make my decision on the color 3900 miles But that upgrade seems so doable but install by someone else lol Above my pay grade 🤣

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@SidneyB76 Congrats on your Shelby! By the way, the last Ruby Red GT500 was 2014. Sounds like yours is Rapid Red. Paint code D4.

[@kirkhall3117]

where did you get the snake on top done, I want to order the parts, but the snake done like your

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Are you a member of the GT500 forum? There is a member there with a laser business. www.FordGT500.com

[@kirkhall3117]

thank you, if I may ask how much was it?@@ShelbyFlyer

[@kirkhall3117]

and do you have the name of guy

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@kirkhall3117 Send me a private message on the forum (or Facebook). I am Goose17 on the forum. I will give you his screen name. I honestly don’t recall the price, but I can ask him. It was reasonable.

Have you ever used any coolant additives? I’ve heard of redline offering something called water wetter and heard it helps on hotter track days for some people.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

I am familiar with Water Wetter, but have not tried any additives.

[@bhumphreut]

Did you get the VMP street innercooler or the race innercooler with the Apex lid?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Watch the video. I explain it all.

[@pjbiggleswerth8903]

Did u dyno after?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Yes, I have the footage. Need time to edit.

[@6598901]

Am one of your fan and following you and see all your vid and am really apprecite all details and support you share about GT500 . But am really get confused why you still not tune or modify the car????? . Atleast CAI ?? Am really excited and waiting for you to install Raptor R stock pulley one the GT500 and keep it on stock tune. If it will work fine and doesn'y require tune any more am going to run same this setup. Thanks

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks! I haven’t ruled out mods and a tune. I just drive the snot out of my car at the track. If I needed any warranty work, my best chances would be un-modded.

[@F_________________]

Do you have any issues with the carbon wheels losing any air? My front wheels seem to lose air very slowly over time. Like 2-5 psi over 2 weeks if I’m not driving the car. Checked them for leaks and didn’t see any at all. Not sure if this is common with carbon wheels or not.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

I have 3 sets of the CF wheels and do not have any issues with pressure lost. Over inflate them and submerge in water. You have a leak somewhere.

[@Boytano320]

16:30, come on we need a close up of what’s under there. I see some super charger internals!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

I have no power adder mods on my car if that’s what you mean.

[@scottjohnson6019]

Think I'm just going to keep mine stock. That looked like dropping hardware would be so easy

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Simply don’t drop stuff! Have a good grip on the hardware.

[@justinstarkey5243]

[@katkilr7685]

The lid needs a nitrous injection system

[@stang1764]

too many winy babies LOL , stick with da OEM ! if you want a hellcat just buy one

[@ShelbyFlyer]

This is mainly for cooling and better flow.

[@DeusXMachna]

46 miles half a tank lol

[@ShelbyFlyer]

I have had that with a full tank after a track day!
