Whats up guys?

Shane361 · 08-19-2007, 04:47 PM

Most know me...Shane. It's been about a year since I left and got stationed is crappy South Texas. Looking forward to getting back to SC for my last duty station after these next 3 years. Traded the yellow SC GT in on a Caddy for a daily driver. I get like 500mpg to an 18 gallon tank.

Nice for a 32v v8 boat! Still working on the Cobra here and there. Since I left I got a KenneBell installed, DD FR500s, and painted the hood and some other mods. She looks perfect to me, need to finish up the fuel system and tune. Then I start on suspension. Should be around 600rwhp in a month or two. Nearest track here is about 2 hours, then Edingburg at 3 hours. Few pics..later guys-Shane

Wassup, dude? Cool to see you on another board.

LXtasy · 08-19-2007, 08:25 PM

SHANE-O welcome man. Can't wait for you to get back

Whaler · 08-19-2007, 09:03 PM

Welcome Hotrod! After that first time to the track, I didn't think you would slow down from going.

HRSPOWR · 08-19-2007, 09:51 PM

Nice to hear from you Shane. I too would like to get back to Charleston for my next duty station but it looks like I'll be stuck in the midwest for a couple of years for now. I bought a lightning and I've been thru a couple of engines now, so all I can say is "make sure you get a new tune after each major mod".

Shane361 · 08-19-2007, 09:59 PM

Thanks guys

I know how that is Jason, I just had my engine replaced cause of 7 and 8 piston. Ford did it under warranty and got stronger pistons and some 4v heads that were designed in 05. Car runs strong with KB but need a better tune to say the least. Its crazy down low but think the car has more to give up top. Good hearing from you guys-Shane

DOne the coolant mod yet, I hear it solves alot of 7&8 issues on the 4vs, alot of the 2v guys do it for insurance as well

Kiley, how could you not like Charleston? You must be going to the wrong places.

Shane361 · 08-20-2007, 01:11 PM

No need for the head cooling mod. Ford has redesigned the 03/04 heads in 05 which they now install on all their replacement engines along with upgraded pistons. Or..so I was told....SHAUN?!?!. Now they circulate correctly from what I am told. Uhm..Corpus sucks my balls.

Houston is even worse..I miss Florida and SC

Next duty station might be San Diego though since this base is moving there-Shane

LXtasy · 08-20-2007, 02:43 PM

Could have them install the coolant mod on the back of the heads. That would help out also.
