I found this listed on DFWStangs.net and worked out a deal with the seller, after a guy on Ebay stiffed him for payment. I got everything in the box for $3000. It's an 8lb kit, with polished P1SC and the 2 core cooler, 42lb injectors, SCT 2400 95mm MAF, PP polished intake plenum and 75mm tb. He even had the intake tubes chrome plated. This kit was installed for the Dallas Autorama, and has less than 600 miles on it. It was uninstalled, boxed up and put up for sale, and I was lucky enough to get it!

Couldn't let the X-Men have all the fun! LOL!

[A_sixer(Tino)]

I knew it..... I remember that smile in the mirror!!!......lol

Congrats!!!!

Congrats!!!!Thanks Tino! The next couple of weeks should be pretty fun around here!

[chrisc]

dam dude!! congrats!!


something funny:
I was browsing the forums earlier and saw the procharger in your sig and thought to myself "why does he have that there?"

[waiting4thefunds]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what kinda numbers u expecting?

[Furinox]

haha, glad it finally worked out man. I was worried it was gonna fall though. When u plan on doing the install? next weekend? =)

[Steve (TooSober)]

Very cool and congrats! I would have the big shit eating gring too!

[Downtime!]

Thanks ya'll!

@Waiting - Looking at a safe tune making right at 400hp for now. The rods in these motors have been known to let go around 450hp or so

@Furinox - Hopefully this next weekend. I'm going to call ATI Monday to verify whether I need to wait on the Focus fuel pump of not.

@Sober - That's the term I was looking for! LOL!

[Downtime!]

haha, glad it finally worked out man. I was worried it was gonna fall though. When u plan on doing the install? next weekend? =)BTW - I can make you an excellent deal on a CAI now! How does $20 sound? It'll work with your existing tune too (or even without a tune).

[ranebowcyxx]

Ah, the pleasure of being blown

[Steve (TooSober)]

Ah, the pleasure of being blown
That's what I was thinking!

[navbtcret]

Congrats on the Procharger. You will be smiling a lot more after you install it. :food-smiley-004:

[Downtime!]

Ah, the pleasure of being blownLOL! Nothing like a double entendre either!

[Downtime!]

Congrats on the Procharger. You will be smiling a lot more after you install it. :food-smiley-004:Yeah! I'm thinking that will take a while to get that smile off!

[Furinox]

Sure, why not =)

[RNstanger]

Sweetness!! Shouldn't your smile be a little bigger though? or are you trying to contain yourself? Congrats on your awesome deal!!

[Downtime!]

Sweetness!! Shouldn't your smile be a little bigger though? or are you trying to contain yourself? Congrats on your awesome deal!!I was going for "shit eating smirk" actually! LOL!

[Downtime!]

Sure, why not =)It's yours. I'll holler at you when I know for sure when I'm going to do the install.

[TungstenGray]

You suck! lol
No, I'm happy for you. You might wind up being the fastest stang on the site.

[Downtime!]

You suck! lol
No, I'm happy for you. You might wind up being the fastest stang on the site.Maybe in the top 10 (maybe!), but no way will I be the fastest. There's 3 or 4 on here that I'll have to go a LONG way to catch up to!

[blazen]

That's awesome DT! You installing it yourself? (sorry if you said allready I skimmed)

I'm gonna have to make a road trip to TX some time to meet up with all you tx stang owners and your fine machines

[Race This]

CONGRATULATIONS! (although I still wish it was a Kenne Bell, lol)!

$3,000 is an EXCELLENT deal, especially considering the plenum & tb, etc.... HOWEVER, I counted all the $$$ on the table & only counted $2,950.00. Where's the other $50??????

Oh... silly me, how did it get in my shirt pocket like that???? <sorry>, sigh

I'm gonna have to make a road trip to TX some time to meet up with all you tx stang owners and your fine machinesThat's the plan as of right now. I've been reading the manual and it looks like the hardest part will be dropping the tank for the fuel pump install.

Anytime you want to head this way, just give a shout. We'll tear up the town!

Oh... silly me, how did it get in my shirt pocket like that???? <sorry>, sighThanks Dom! (and I was wondering who was gonna be the first one to count the money!). I still want a KB, but the money was too good to pass up on this one. I have contemplated putting it up on Ebay and seeing if I could get close to $4000 for it though. There'd be a KB in my future for sure then!

[cardude99]

great deal man so how much power do u expect to be pushing out and are u gonna run it with the zex? sorry if i repeated anyone elses question cause i didnt read the whole thread.

[Downtime!]

great deal man so how much power do u expect to be pushing out and are u gonna run it with the zex? sorry if i repeated anyone elses question cause i didnt read the whole thread.Thanks man! I'm gonna start with a safe tune in the 380-400rwhp range (the canned tune was good for 380 on the '03 it came off of) and next year when I get the forged motor, I'll up the boost and go for something in the 500hp range. That should be enough for a little while! LOL!

The Zex is a definite possibilty too. I was thinking of selling it, but now I may just reinstall it and use a 75hp shot for a little extra get up and go!

[rygen]

Oh shit! DT is gonna set the world on fire. Congrats man, nice choice!

[Wicked Pony]

congrats! Can't wait for pics after the install

[Buckman]

Wow, congrats, you gotta be pumped!
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out for you, you got a kick ass ride!

[Downtime!]

Oh shit! DT is gonna set the world on fire. Congrats man, nice choice!Thanks man! Should be fun!

[Downtime!]

congrats! Can't wait for pics after the installThanks Amy! I'll have tons of pics forthcoming!

[Downtime!]

Wow, congrats, you gotta be pumped!
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out for you, you got a kick ass ride!That's an understatement! LOL! I should have some results in the next couple of weeks.

[Downtime!]

And it looks like the only thing I'm missing (besides the fuel pump and boost gauge) is 2 hose clamps and a transition hose from the MAF to the intake pipe. If I use the stock MAF, I've got it covered, but I'll be using the SCT 2400 MAF and it's 4" in diameter, so I need a 4" to 3" transition coupler (the guy I got it from was using a scabbed together concoction that looks like it would kill the flow. I won't be using that!). I'll be ordering the coupler, the boost gauge and the mount this week, and hopefully I can pick up the fuel pump here locally.

Here's a new pic of everything all laid out, not much to it is there?! LOL!

If only it were the easy^^^^

[Downtime!]

If only it were the easy^^^^I know! You'd think by looking at it that you'd have it on in a couple of hours. I did get some insider info though, so maybe it'll go pretty easily. I bet I can get Furinox down here to help me too!

heck yea you can, lol

[Downtime!]

heck yea you can, lolThought you might be interested in this! LOL! Looks like it may actually be a couple of weeks away now. Depends on what I can find out tomorrow about the parts.

[Traken]

That's awesome DT, ya lucky bastage. ;)

[Downtime!]

That's awesome DT, ya lucky bastage. ;)Thanks Jordan! Wonder how those Violators would sound now?! (might have to put them on hold for a while, my mod budget just took a big hit! LOL!)

Eheheehe... You need to hear them on an o/r x pipe. ;D

Hopefully I'll be able to make a recording tomorrow. It was getting to dark when I finished and I didn't want to rev it too much in Mike neighborhood. Heh.

[Race This]

If only it were the easy^^^^

+1, my thoughts EXACTLY :longlive:

[Turbo_J]

Congrats DT!

Wow. Maybe I should move my laptop into the garage so I can pop in here once in a while to check things out. Lots of things going on this weekend.

Hope the install goes well. Can't wait to hear and see her running after you get it all installed. Your car looks bad ass and it's about to get some serious backing! :headbang:

I'm really looking forward to getting a little boost going on. Might have to pick your brain on a few things along the way though!

[navbtcret]

I can not wait to see what kind of "b" button power you will be cranking out after you get the blower installed.

[Downtime!]

I can not wait to see what kind of "b" button power you will be cranking out after you get the blower installed.I'm hoping to get her right around 400 hp. It's reasonably safe to take it to 425, but that's getting close to the limits of the stock connecting rods.

[Turbo_J]

No problem. PM me if you need anything and I'll give you my number. If I was closer, I'd be there for the install. It would be nice to install something someone else made instead of F'ing around in unknown territory. I'm down to the last 30 minutes of my exhaust project and I can't get out of my chair! I just don't want to find another problem! lol

I'll go cry in my own thread a little later. :shake:

[Turbo_J]

Dude! You have no idea the names I've pull out of nowhere to place the onus of this fiasco on! ...and the curse words! Holly truck driver mouth Batman!
:043:

It is/was worth it. I'm done. Still need to do a final leak tests and see if I can rip it all off on a bumpy road, but it's done! lol

It does feel good though. So will recovery. :food-smiley-005:

[firestang70]

Bryan that is awesome news man! I think 400 rwhp you will be safe with good tuning and is a great number. Good luck on the install.

Bryan that is awesome news man! I think 400 rwhp you will be safe with good tuning and is a great number. Good luck on the install.Thanks Dale! I've already got my eye on a CHP forged long block though! LOL! 400hp will be OK for a little while, but I already feel a need for more boost!

[firestang70]

CHP huh. That is cool to here. Once you get a forged bottom end the sky is the limit!

[Buckman]

Thanks Dale! I've already got my eye on a CHP forged long block though! LOL! 400hp will be OK for a little while, but I already feel a need for more boost!

LOL, that brought a tear to my eye! Spoken like a true junkie..er...enthusiast!
Seriously though I gotta keep this thread close, I want to follow this install and see what you put down. You have a beautiful car, well done!

I ordered some new silicone connectors (blue) to replace all the ugly blackones under the hood, and I think I have a line on a fuel pump at Dallas Mustangs, so if everything goes well, I should be able to start the install this weekend!

[bscottie]

sweet, hey can I have a few of those benjamins. :cool-smiley-030:

[firestang70]

If you see me on the news, you don't know me. Anyone know where I can get a forged block like tonight? LOL

[firestang70]

DT your car is going to be a beast. I have a budy with an 00 GT and a ProCharger, its mean!
