Better Power with Flat Blue Attire
So we are trying to finalize some mods for the Texas Mile and continue our 800HP beast. We have removed our Agency Power Cold Air Intake and are redesigning our Ypipe to be 3 inch all the way from the intercoolers to the upgraded throttle body and plenum. Before our YPipe necked down which really was not condusive to flow. Since we are changing the Ypipe design, we will also need to relocate our intakes. Much like you have seen on other cars, we have opted to run short elbows and put our filters/MAF where the intercoolers are. To make sure we keep the cool air flowing through the duct work, we have notched the plastic housing to house the K&N filters as well.

I should have updated pictures and more info by the weeks end. Oh yeah, to drive people crazy, we wrapped the car FLAT BLUE!

Finishing up the car. Going to powdercoat the pipes, but here it is raw form. We have made the Ypipe straight 3" from the intercooler endtank to the throttle body. The intakes are now in the intercooler ducting for better/cooler air. We also have our silicone BOV return hoses in place.

We cut up our carbon air box to fit over the ypipe so when you close the decklid, it will look semi stock and the factory snorkels will keep cool air on to the pipes.

Just added the HRE P40 wheels in flat black. Not sure how I feel about them, but the car is looking pretty crazy! I always wanted an over the top look, so here it is. Comments?

When you say "wrapped" do you mean wrapped in flat blue plastic or the car was sprayed with flat blue paint?


Looks insane. Nice work.

Just hit the dyno today. Did 3 runs. First one the intercooler hose popped off and it made 600awhp. 2nd run did 697awhp. 3rd and final run did 756awhp. We are running this on a Mustang ALL WHEEL DRIVE Dyno with a parasitic multiplier of 1.0. Temp was 82F and we were running a max of 1.5bar on 109octane. You can see the screen shot showing the power... Drag times and 60-130 times coming on Friday night, posting saturday.


The dyno plot shows a dotted line and solid line. The dotted line is our runs before the new 3inch Ypipe, Agency Power Throttle Body/Plenum Upgrade, and Cold Air Intake System. You can see that once the turbos kicked in at 3600rpm, the car pulled MUCH stronger to redline with the new setup. Questions, comments, let me know.
