We all feel your pain brother. I was the same way while I was out there in that place. Good thing was that I was working my buns off 18-20 hours a day most of the time, so I didn't have the time to hound Zerolift. When I had a boring/uneventful day (or some time off), I was going banannas...lol.

Well, Mike@GTM told me they have the car in the bay and tearing it down. Plan is to have it done in 3-4 weeks. I'll say 4-6 lol. Hopefully I have some engine pron to show. I'm running out of deployment material. I can only watch the same thing so many times!

In the mean time, GTM sent me the Mustang dyno sheet and a couple shots of her strapped down.







M$#^$@#$%!#@!*%^ MY RIMS ARE DIRTY!!!!!!!

I'm much more relieved knowing they are actually working on it. I can at least get updates of progress instead of waiting to start. BTW, how much more do HFC's cost to have them added to a F.I. exhaust? I'm debating 12 resonators" if I make an exhaust switch.

I believe its 480$ with the purchase of a cutback.

Is that on the exhaust it's self? I have LTH's.

Yea that is with a purchase of a standard 2.5" exhaust. You should give Tony a call monday and see what he can do!

I'm in an outpost in AFG. calling doesn't work well. Internet is great, but that's mostly because I'm the network engineer here.

Speaking of exhausts, I was reading a thread of some dude panicking about his ARK exhaust. I thought I'd share my feelings on mine haha. I still like my Tanabe Medallion. No fitment issue, no color issue, no packaging issue, no overpriced issue, no wait time, no ugly tips, no clearance issue, stock connection points... To one up that, it fit my Motordyne aftermarket Y pipe... perfectly, looked exactly the same, like it was meant for each other. Unfortunately I spent $1750 for it and another $160 for a resonator to play with. So in total, $1900ish. I don't know how lucky I would be trying to sell it.

wow that is not a cheap setup by any means.. Definitely not going to be enough exhaust at your power level though..

I'm hoping it restricts a bit. looking at my new dyno chart and comparing it to Nix's on the same dyno, same day... His was put back to stock for the run. I'm only making more power and TQ than he is after 5500rpm. He actually has slightly better bottom end. He posted his chart on the first page of his build thread. So it looks like I'm flowing too well, even with a HFC. I really don't know how the exhaust will handle 500whp (hopefuly), but I'm hoping enough pressure can be built to get these SC's in their efficiency zone. We'll see. That HFC is 3" and 200 cell, it's pretty free flowing.

Trying to get pictures. Tear down is almost complete. Mike didn't realize how large my oil cooler was. Sent them my ROM files from Uprev, installation starts next week. Again, here is a list of what's being installed"

GTM Twin C30 supercharger system
Z1 SP slotted Rotors
Stoptech Brake pads
Z1 Stainless brake lines
ATE super blue brake fluid
Z1 hood struts
CSF Radiator (edit: didn't fit)
Z1 red polyurethane engine bay hoses (edit: kit comes with it's own)
Motordyne M370 intake manifold (edit: decided to sell)
JWT clutch and flywheel
Z Speed upgraded CSC, and stainless clutch line
Oil change using Redline 5W30
Motordyne resonator for the Xyz Y pipe (I will be dyno testing and sound testing vs the HFC [also installing myself when I get home])

Stuff that is already on the car:
PPE black ceramic coated long tube headers
AEM CAI (removed)
NST Pulleys (removed)
Motoydyne XYZ Y pipe with 200 cell 3" HFC
Tanabe Medallion mid pipe back exhaust
AE performance 72 row oil cooler (removed)
Uprev tuner version

Everything is staying on the car except the CAI and pulleys because they cannot be used with the superchargers. I have tentative buyers for both of them already
The oil cooler is the big question. It's a front mounted where the intercoolers sit. It may need to be played with to fit or the intercoolers moved forward and crash bar removed. Something is going to give and I'd rather not pay extra money for a new oil cooler.

Edit: Made annotations to what is being removed or not installed anymore. Listed below are additions.
GTM 70mm Competition Radiator
GTM Shroud with 14" H.O. SPAL Fan
GTM Twin Oil Coolers (25 row I believe)
GTM Oil Pan
