New product under development

Bracket and test fit is near complete !

Jack at Muscle Motors and I looked into doing this a couple years ago. We were going to cut the bottom off the OEM tank and expand it, then the system would look completely OEM to 95% of all casual observers. I scrapped the idea as it would not help road coarse temps or spirited driving temps for more than a few minutes. Great idea for dragsters obviously.

That's great. Now if only the Mojave mile would be more flexable and allow support crew to fill it with ice just before starting the run. During the 1st Mojave mile all of the ice would have been melted because no crew were allowed after the 1st staging area and the actual runs happen at least 15 to 30 minutes later! The TX mile was setup better where someone could fill ice just before running.

Crew members were allowed to the staging area during the last event......some even just in a moral support role.

i am not sure how the intercooler system works on our GT's? i thougth the intercooler liquid was of a green color like my ford lightning has?. does this bigger resevoir mean that you now have to run water instead of the green intercooler coolant?

No, but I choose to use distilled water and water wetter.

that is what i use in my radiators. with this system i will run distilled water and water wetter. so yes Torrie put me on the list of buyers. also has anybody found if there are any gains to be had by porting the stock supercharger or a whipple. on the lightning there are many companies that offer porting services for the stock 1.8L eaton supercharger and the gains are worth it.

I'll be the first to ask. Any idea on what this is going to cost yet??

This will be outlined when the prototype I am working with meets all of my standards and we have all of the supporting items needed for the kit to be complete.

Done !


I do not believe that there is much room for improvement port wise on the TS based blowers unlike what the Lightning and 03-04 cobra guys have been doing with the Eaton.

Makes sense. Thanks for rolling out this preview though. :thumbsup

Like I need something else to think about for my car. :willy:willy :lol

If possible, OEM crinkle-finish black would be preferred. I can have it done if it is not on your list of "finishing touches."

That's the original prototype I'll retain the use of in my car. I will have a production level unit shortly they are being assembled now. We went a different route for the lids too :

Ok Torrie are they ready to ship yet

Whats the price going to be and I assume that these are a straight bolt in with no modifications so I can put it back with little issue if needed. I just registered for the mile in March and I'll be damned if I'm letting Fubar hold that 200mph shirt over my head.
