Where to take a Mustang in Charleston?

[JTStreet]

Now that Redline is unfortunately a thing of the past, where do you recommend I take my 01 Cobra for some work?

First and foremost it needs some clutch troubleshooting. Hopefully it's as simple as the cable.

Second, it's currently turbocharged, and I'd like to do a proper N/A build, which is what the motor was initially built for.

I'm looking for someone who can provide both technical consultation and the actual implementation.

JP and Randy still tune... As for a shop to do the build you are MIA.

There aren't any scrapyards around there?

It really is a shame that Redline shutdown.

[BIRDMAN]

I think Justin is always down to rebuilding an engine, if you're feeling frisky enough to trust it in his hands. lolll

Its hell keeping a shop open... I assume the logistics didnt make sense like most other shops i've known of shutting down.

Essentially, this car was initially built as a high compression, high rev N/A build. It's an excellent engine, (Livernois built) and I don't have plans to open it up. An owner later, and it's too slow. So, they install an On3 turbo kit. It's a horrible kit, and it's on the wrong type of motor. I'm looking to convert it back to N/A, and have a couple additional things done to the car, such as gears, long tubes, etc.

The conversion is going to take a little work. Smaller injectors, etc. Nothing big, but I want to make sure it's properly planned out and implemented.

with a decent turbo on it and some stinky gas that thing should FLY, those FR500 cams bleed off a fair amount of that compression

The main reason I want to get rid of the turbo is because it's a road race build. That car is going to be so hot down here on summer days, and I'd much rather have the reliability of N/A.

[RoadconeTuning]

high rpm, mod motor, reliability... pick two lol

[BigdaddyDupree]

Travis Lane at Carolina Chassis dyno in lexington is a good guy and wont steer you wrong. Tell him Tyler sent you.

[oldskoolstang]

Hell, bring it to me with a set of longtubes (with h/x pipe), a set of gears (with install kit, I can't find my shims), and some stock injectors and maf and I'll have you going in a weekend....

Damn i had no idea about Redline...that sucks.

Turbo won't have the heat issues of a supercharger.
