Supercharged Mustang Pedders Coilovers & Sway Bars

Today I installed the Pedders Coilovers and Sway Bars kit for my 2016 Mustang GT. This kit provides a nice drop and an improvement in performance. As I understand BC makes the actual shocks for Pedders. Both are brands with experience in racing and street performance. I found this to be a moderate to challenging job depending on your experience with mods and working on cars. If you have a well equipped shop this is definitely doable yourself. On jack stands in a small garage or driveway it may be a bit hard to do.

Mustang APR Chin Splitter & Ford Performance Tow Hook

Today we're going to be installing an APR Carbon Fiber Chin Splitter and a Ford Performance Tow Hook on my 2016 Mustang GT that is ProCharged and being setup for track road racing use. The purpose of the splitter is both cosmetic and aerodynamic. The splitter should help create clean air in front of the car. The tow hook is just a good idea, and yes it connects to the frame of the car. It's not just hanging off the body work like some people assume!

Orange O2 sensors? Orange spark plugs? What's happening!?

I've been working with Lund on a tune for the race gas I'm running in my 2016 Mustang GT. The gas in question is Sunoco 260 GT Plus 104 unleaded race gas. I had been asked to re-gap my plugs as part of the tuning. When I removed the plugs from the block I saw orange all over them. Let's find out why.

Smelly Fuel Hose, New Tires & Parking Lines

Having finished installing the Fore Innovations Fuel System I found that I had a really strong gasoline smell from the Eaton Startlite hose that I was recommended. I ended up replacing those for a very similar hose, which no longer smelled. I also show you some new wheels, sticky tires and we paint some parking lines for my lift!

Installing Fore Innovations Fuel System 2016 Mustang GT

In my quest for performance I’ve had to deal with the limited fueling capacity of the stock 2016 Mustang GT return-less fuel system. This meant I was running the JMS BAP (Boost-A-Pump) voltage booster to get more out of what Ford gave us. Unfortunately I do not trust this kind of setup, there is some precedent for catastrophic failures, not to mention performance limitations for the future. I decided it was time to purchase and install a traditional return style fuel system and picked Fore Innovations for their reputation and how high quality all the components appeared.

Corsa Headers for S550 GT Mustang Installed

It’s always been the plan to get long tube stainless steel headers for my S550 Ford Mustang. There are many different choices for this platform, but Corsa headers really jumped out at me when I was shopping. It’s no surprise, because Corsa Performance has traditionally made terrific exhaust cat-back systems, some of the best ever. I have had them on several vehicles including my Mustang which is equipped with the Corsa Xtreme 3″ Cat-Back. This is a new product line for Corsa and it’s exciting to see them expand into headers.

Saber Cabinets & 12V Fuel Transfer Pump

I'm so excited to get my Saber Cabinets which I ordered from the Obsessed Garage store. I knew I wanted these cabinets ever since I saw them for the first time. They are just a great spot for price, quality and subjectively looks. I also purchased a GasTapper 12V MAX fuel transfer pump. This handy pump makes refueling my Mustang with race gas so easy!

ProCharger Bypass Valve Sound

I shot a quick video of what the bypass valve sounds like on my 2016 Mustang GT. This puppy is supercharged with the ProCharger Stage 2 kit. This audio was a blend of a mic on the intake and a mic inside the car. This represents a lot of what it sounds like revving on the ground at a light.

Project: Dream Garage Part 3

The first phase of my garage build is over. The guys from Tool Time Home Improvement got done with the sheetrock, lighting, AC, etc… Everything came out pretty great with just some minor touch up left. Now I’m working on all the big ticket items and final touches including flooring, 2-post lift, tool chests, cabinets, etc…
