By KJ Jones
BENCH RACER VIEWPOINT
Story Telling
To coin the iconic phrase
made by Al Pacino in the epic
gangster movie Scarface,
Say hello to my little
friend! This 100 percent
unmolested, oddly configured
90 LX coupe (factory A/C
delete, no power door locks,
no power windows, no power
mirrors ... but it does have
cruise control) is the latest
addition to your editors
Mustang stable. It was scored
in the same fashion that
pretty much all of KJs other
Ponies have been acquired
by way of the proverbial
killer deal. Keep an eye on
www.mustang-360.com for
updates on the Pony that
were currently calling Son of
(Cheaper) Sleeper.
party in Las Vegas. The
rest of the team at
www.mustang-360.com
did likewise at MCAs
similar shindig in
Charlotte, North
Carolina. Not only did
we see rows and rows
of awesome Ponies, we
also had opportunities
to meet and speak with
people from all points
of the globe, who love
Stangs. Each and every
one has an interesting
story about the road to
being so enamored with
the cars.
For example, there
are the the three broth-
ers from Sandy, Utah,
(Jordan, Jaden and
Josh Breiner) that I met
while cruising the car
gathering at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway. Each
Breiner brother drives a
modified 03-04 Cobra,
and they told me they
come from a true-Ford-
blue, Cobra-loving
family. (There are actu-
ally seven Terminators
among all the Breiners!)
Thats a pretty cool
story if you ask me.
To top it off, Jared told
me their dad and sister
were also celebrating
the 50that the MCA
event in Charlotte, with
their Cobras, of course.
Yes, for each and
every one of us, theres
a story or stories that
help explain and maybe
clarify why were
involved with late-
model Stangs. Id like
to hear yours. Share
it with me and other
Mustang fans by post-
ing notes in the special
topic Ive created (My
Mustang Story) in the
5.0 Mustang & Super
Fords Magazine forum
on our all-Ford super-
site www.mustang-
360.com, or send an
email to 50mailbag@
sorc.com.
Im looking forward
to your stories! 5.0
T
he announcement
of some really
good news serves
as my inspiration for
this months column.
Now, that doesnt mean
I cant think of things
to talk aboutI actually
get inspiration from
all sorts of things, each
and every day. How-
ever, when thinking of a
topic for this particular
column each month,
choosing one from that
multitude usually is the
most difficult part of the
process.
Thats not the
case this time, as Im
inspired by and happy
to report the the fact
that our friend and for-
mer editor Steve Turner
has landed a new job!
While Steves good
fortune unfortunately
brings his time as a
5.0&SF contributor to a
quick end, knowing that
hes now in a good spot
makes me happy, and
Im sure youll all join
me in wishing Big Steve
all the best in his new
post as editor-in-chief
of the SVT Performance
website (www.svt
performance.com).
In Steves announce-
mentwhich came
by way of a short,
corny-but-cool online
video (and I told him
so)he answers the
one question that it
seems most members
of the Mustang Nation
are always asked: So...
Whats your story? How
how did you get into
Mustangs (the Mustang
lifestyle)? What was
your first Stang? And
so on. I recommend
you watch the video for
Steves answer.
I know Ive been
asked that question
and/or its derivitives
countless times in the
many years that Ive
been involved with
late-model Stangs. Like
Steves story, the tale
of my journey into this
madness has been called
everything from cool,
to interesting, to pretty
crazy. However, despite
the various adjectives,
the one constant in
my getting into this
sceneand staying in
it so long, for that mat-
terhas been the way I
acquire Mustangs.
Each and every one
of the many Ponies Ive
owned has come by
way of the proverbial
killer deal, the kind of
sale or opportunity
that you just cant pass
up. Ive had Mustangs
given to meyes, com-
pletely for free. Believe
it or not, Project T-top
coupe, in its originally
rough condition, is one
such Pony. Ive paid as
little as $500 for a clean,
running Fox, and even
scored my wifes New
Edge GT for well below
invoice in 2002, thanks
to shopping late in the
model year and working
every Ford, auto club,
dealership, and other
discounts or incentives
that were available at
the time.
If I can get a Stang
for my price or less,
that Stang usually ends
up in my driveway. Its
been that way since I
bought my first Pony in
1990, a grey 84 GT with
T-tops that I negotiated
down to $1,500, from an
asking price of $2,500.
Yep, Im Killer-Deal
Kaje alright.
The stories are likely
similar for all of us one
way or another. Im sure
everyone who reads 5.0
also has an interesting
story on how he or she
became enamored with
Mustangthe car and
the culture. You see,
while Mustangs are the
the highlight of this
magazines content,
the stories told by and
about the people who
own, drive, and love
them are just as fasci-
nating.
This became very
clear to me on April
17, 2014, the Mustangs
50th birthday, when I
and several thousand
other Mustang fans
attended the Mustang

crystal clear and contains fewer of the impurities found in crude oil, which is

USA Axles
We can never have too many rear axle compo-

about USA Standard Gears offerings, available at

made from durable steel for superior strength and
performance, and use press-in wheel studs. USA
Standard has differentials and gear sets, too.

PA Performance shouldnt be a new name to any of you reading
this magazine. PA is famous for its Mustang electrical components,
like alternators, starters, and electrical wiring. The company has
always had a few custom colors available, but it has added a few
candy colors to the lineup, such as red, blue, and black. The blue, seen
here, is really close to True Blue, or even Sonic Blue, but all three new
colors are available on any Mustang alternator.

Beast Fuel
If your 94 Cobra is mostly stock, Aeromotives

have a hungry beast of a Mustang, the A3000 is up
to the task. The pump made its debut at the 2014
NHRA Gatornationals in several Pro Stock cars,
fueling Allen Johnson to victory. Obviously capable
of providing a bucketload of fuel, its designed to
provide a plethora of mounting provisions, enhanced

California Legal
Due to Californias stringent emissions laws, many supercharger kits that many of us enjoy are not legal to install in the Golden
State. Roush Performance is happy to pass along the word that its Phase 1 supercharger kit for 11-14 Mustang GTs is CARB-legal, with
its own executive order number as proof. The Phase 1 supercharger kit is said to produce 575 horsepower at the flywheel, and includes
a Roush R2300 2.3L TVS supercharger, high-flow 47-lb/hr fuel injectors, a high-effieciency intercooler system, and all the required hard-

By Steve Turner
ity let us test the effect
of design changes and
give feedback to the
studio in less than 48
hours, so they had more
opportunity to try out
different styling ideas.
These efforts keep
the Mustang GT stable
at 155 mph, and the
overall drag force is
reduced by 3 percent,
which is said to yield
a 1-percent increase
in fuel economy. We
cant wait to see how it
improves performance
at the track!
N
ot only does the
new 15 Mustang
have a striking
new design, but its
also more aerodynamic,
which will help it cut
through the air and hug
the road.
Even with the clas-
sic, forward-leaning
shark-bite grille and a
more aggressive stance
for the new Mustang,
the aerodynamics
team has made it slice
through the air better
for increased fuel effi-
ciency while also keep-
ing it planted to the
road at higher speeds,
said Dave Pericak,
Mustang chief engineer.
The best part is that
they met the challenge
of creating the sleekest
Mustang yet without
resorting to a character-
less teardrop shape.
Of course, having
better aero really helps
the car from a fuel-
efficiency standpoint,
but for us it means
improved performance
as well. The air man-
agement not only helps
improve cooling and
fuel economyvia
technology like active
grille shutters on the
EcoBoost 2.3but it
even cuts down on
wind noise. Achieving
all these improvements
was largely thanks to
the magic of computers.
With the new
Mustang, we spent
about twice as much
time running aero-
dynamic simulations
and doing wind-tunnel
tests than the previous
Mustang, said Carl
Widmann, aerodynam-
ics engineering man-
ager. Major advances

Boost in
Production
I
ts clear that Fords future is tightly linked to
EcoBoost. This pairing of direct injection and
turbocharging allows for large-engine perfor-
mance from smaller engines. This phenomenon
is obviously popular with Ford customers as well,
with over 50 percent of F-150 customers opting for
the 3.5L or 3.7L EcoBoost engines. Because of that
popularity, the company is making a big invest-
ment in EcoBoost production capabilities at its Lima
Engine Plant near Cleveland.
Our truck customers have spoken, and we
continue to meet their evolving needs by provid-
ing another V-6 option in the all-new 2015 F-150,
said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas.
The hardworking team at Lima Engine is thrilled
to begin building one of the most technologically
advanced engines ever designed for Americas num-
ber one truck.
Ford will invest $500 million to revamp 700,000
square feet at the Lima plant for new machining and
assembly of this new EcoBoost variant.
Lima Engine has kept Ford and Lincoln vehicles
running for nearly 60 years, said Bruce Hettle,
Ford vice president, North America Manufacturing.
Bringing production of the new 2.7L EcoBoost to
Lima Engine Plant helps build a solid future both for
Ford and the dedicated workers in Ohio.
OUR TRUCK CUSTOMERS HAVE
SPOKEN, AND WE CONTINUE TO
MEET THEIR EVOLVING NEEDS BY
PROVIDING ANOTHER V-6 OPTION
IN THE ALL-NEW 2015 F-150,
SAID JOE HINRICHS, FORD
PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAS.

Take the Challenge
A
s we said elsewhere on these pages, Ford is
all about EcoBoost engine technology. If you
havent driven an EcoBoosted Ford yet, you
certainly owe it to yourself to do so. It is, after all,
coming to the Mustang.
Thanks to Fords EcoBoost Challenge tour, you
can get out and drive a variety of EcoBoosted vehi-
cles in 12 cities across the country. The tour started
in early April, but hopefully you have a chance to
hit one of these events.
Whether its our EcoBoost or electrified prod-
ucts, theres no better way to experience the quality,
innovation, and fun of the Ford lineup than to get
in the drivers seat, said Amy Marentic, Ford Global
Car and Crossover Group marketing manager. The
EcoBoost Challenge lets consumers experience for
themselves the technology that helps Ford deliver
better fuel economy and a more engaged driving
experience than the competition. And its just a lot
of fun!
The part of the event that will excite most of you
is the ST Performance Academy, featuring Fiesta
and Focus STs. Other events are a Hybrid Challenge
to test your economical driving skills, as well as
an Ecoboost Challenge, pitting Fords against their
competitive vehicles. The events are only held on
Saturdays to make them as accessible as possible.

Contingency Plan
T
he Cobra Jet
continues to
rewrite the
racing record books
every time there is
an event, and thanks
to Ford Racing
(www.fordracing
parts.com), the racers
will have even more
opportunities to prof-
it from their perfor-
mance. In early April,
Ford Racing posted
a $25,000 award for
any Stock or Super
Stock Championship
in a 14 NHRA series;
Second and Third
Place finishers can
take home $5,000 and
$1,000 respectively.
The Cobra Jet has
been the most success-
ful late-model racer in
NHRA, holding numer-
ous records and national
event wins, said Jesse
Kershaw, Ford Racing
drag racing competition
manager. Our Cobra
Jet teams are among the
best in the sport. We
want to incentivize and
reward them for their
dedication and hard
work with this contin-
gency program.
Ford Racing has also
posted $7,500 in total
payouts for winners in
the four Factory Stock
Showdown races this
season. A win in FS/A
gains a racer $2,500, a
win in FS/B will also
earn a racer $2,500,
while the champion can
take home $5,000.
The Factory Stock
Showdown is a fan
favorite that showcases
late-model factory hot
rods in a heads-up
format, said Kershaw.
Were excited to help
promote and grow the
class.
And grow it has. If
you have the chance to
see these Cobra Jets
race, do it. They are
amazing. Likewise,
if you are thinking
about racing one, Ford
Racing has given you
thousands of reasons
to do so.

qualified second
at the Formula Drift
season opener in Long
Beach, California, be-
fore going down in the
second round, but dont
look for him to slow
down. When he isnt
sliding around tracks
in the United States,
he is bringing his style
of tail wagging to an
international audience
in China in the World
Drift Series.
Over the last three
years, the Mustang and
I have become a crowd
favorite, Vaughn said.
The fans are amazing,
they know me, and I
feel like theyre totally
embracing the sport.
Of course, the roar of a
650hp racing V-8 echo-
ing inside the stadium
helps a lot. Peoples
eyes light up and they
point as if I was riding a
unicorn.
He stays busy drift-
ing over there so often
that he keeps a prepped
Mustang RTR in China,
so he can just fly in and
get behind the wheel.
Certainly this saves time
and money transporting
the Mustang drifter to
the events, but he still
has to dial in the tun-
ing of the car for each
event.
We get in after a
20-hour flight and its
straight to business,
Vaughn added. That
means unpacking the
car, tools, and tires, and
getting set up for com-
petition.
Soon Vaughn wont
be the only one enjoy-
ing a Mustang in China.
As the 15 Mustang goes
international, Mustang
fans there will soon be
able to buy their own.
OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE MUSTANG AND I
HAVE BECOME A CROWD FAVORITE.

LATEST
AND
GREATEST
Someone please
remind Tim Handy
that he forfeited the
privilege to complain
about the S550 when
he bought a V-6
Mustang and then
proclaimed it his
favorite.
As an 04 Cobra
owner (whos also
owned a 93 notch
and an 89 GT), I like
the direction in which
the 15 is headed. Im
probably the only
one wholl admit this,
but the current GT
left me flaccid. The
shifter feels floppy,
the engine isnt as
punchy as Id hoped
(yeah, Im spoiled by
a 2.76-pulley Eaton),
and the Coyote hits
its rev limiter before
the tach shows red-
line. The two biggest
negatives are the
solid axle (I love the
handling and ride of
the IRS in my 04)
and the size of the
carthe 13 GT I drove
felt like an unwieldy
boat compared to my
New Edge.
The 15 is clearly
an improvement. The
IRS, lighter weight,
and slightly smaller
size are all for the
better. (In fact, I wish
Ford had shrunk its
poundage and dimen-
sions even further!) I
really like the tapered
rear greenhouse
and flared haunches.
Those changes give
the back of the
car something of a
Porsche 911 feel.
What really
boggles my mind is
people who complain
about the styling. The
15 is a more dramat-
ic change than the
10, but not hugely
so. How can someone
who liked the 10-14
hate the 15?
Im most looking
forward to is the
rumored flat-plane
crankshaft V-8 thats
in the pipeline. I love
the sound of a 4.6
with Flowmasters,
but the Ferrari-esque
sound of the flat-
plane mill will give
me chills.
I cant wait to see
more of your cover-
age of Fords latest
and greatest!
Dave Mack
Via email
Thanks for the kind
words, Dave. You are
certainly confident
in your convictions
about your car, the
current car, and the
2015. Its not really
fair to compare a
modded Terminator
to a stock Coyote.
Just a tune will raise
that rev limiter and
really give the 5.0
legs, just as that
pulley woke up your
blown 4.6. However,
we would agree
that Ford designers
bridged the retro
of the earlier S197s
to the 2015 by giv-
ing the 10-14 cars a
sharper edge with its
Kinetic design. So far
that flat-plane stuff
is just conjecture,
but we are equally
excited about whats
to come from this
new platform.
STIRRING
DREAMS
Per your request
in the King of the
Street article in the
May 14 issue, Im
writing to express my
wholehearted love
of KOTS. I bought
my 95 Cobra in
2003, which was your
first year of KOTS. I
remember it stirring
some big dreams in
me immediately. Ive
looked forward to the
competition every
year since, as it repre-
sents the best of the
best that the custom
Mustang community
has to offer.
In the meantime.
my car has gone from
a stock 225hp snooze-
fest to a 556-rwhp,
Procharged 347 with
HRE wheels, an IRS
swap, Air Ride sus-
pension, four-wheel
Wilwood brakes, and
much more... I know
Ill probably never
reach the level of
KOTS (at least not
until I make a move
on my plans of a
Dart 363 and a lot of
boost), but neverthe-
less each year this
article always inspires
me to push my car
a bit further, and it
would be a shame to
see it go.
That said, if you are
looking for a slight
format change, I think
a few hot laps on a
short road circuit or
autocross for a best
lap time might be a
cool addition. The
Mustang community
has historically been
mostly drag-oriented
(myself excluded), but
in recent years, the
corner-carver popula-
tion in the ranks has
grown considerably.
This addition to the
format might appeal
to those who are not
as interested in drag
racing.
Dan McConnell
Via email
Thanks for the feed-
back, Dan. Our KOTS
main man Michael
Johnson is busy in the
5.0 Mustang & Super
Fords laboratory
tweaking the KOTS
recipe to have it come
back stronger than
ever this year. Adding
some corner-carving
would really make it
tough on the com-
petitors, as it is hard
enough to tune a car
for streetability and
huge power. It is yet
another thing to make
that combination also
work on a race track,
whether or not it has
corners.
Stay tuned as we
get closer to this
years edition to see
whats in store.
DRAG KING
I think you guys
should keep KOTS, but
I believe that the drag
racing portion should
be worth more than
10 percent. Whats the
point of having over a
1,000 horsepower to
the wheels if you cant
drive it worth a damn
and can only bust off
a low 11 while the guy
in the other lane who
knows how to drive
his car with 500 hp
makes you look silly?
In that way, you can
keep out all of the
dyno queens.
Will Cordero
Via email
We can see you
are a fan of drag
racing, Will. We are
fans too. However,
there are plenty
of venues for drag
racers to test their
mettle. The gen-
esis of the KOTS
competition was to
judge the vehicles
performance, while
somewhat down-
playing the human
factor that enters
when you race. We
wanted to see how
far people could
push Mustang per-
formance and still
maintain the kind
of streetability that
the average person
could deal with on a
daily basis.
As we have seen
over the years, it is
exceptionally rare
for a car to acquit
itself well in every
category. Often, it is
the lower-powered,
more-drag oriented
cars that do well at
the racetrack. The
full-weight street
cars on radials with
huge rear-wheel
horsepower are dif-
ficult to get down
the dragstrip, even
for experienced
drivers. However,
the lighter, racier
Mustangs rarely
drive as well, which
is far more impor-
tant at this event.
Like it or not,
KOTS is about the
street and the dyno,
but we like to think
of them as dyno
kings

Major kudos to the

for revamping this former
four-cylinder Fox as a clean,
classy 5.0 Mustang. A Cervinis
3-inch cowl induction hood is
the only body deviation, and
the entire car was covered in

chrome Pony R wheels provide
just enough accent to the DIB

T
wenty-one
years after the
Fox Mustang
galloped off the
production line for the
last time, the car is still
an inspiration to many.
In its heyday, the Fox
captured the minds of
young car enthusiasts
with its combination
of affordability and
performance poten-
tial. That magic recipe
turned the corner for
Ford performance. No
longer was Brand X the
only game in town for
aftermarket support.
The Fox 5.0 created its
own industry, and that
legacy lives on today
with the incredible
modern Mustangs we
enjoy.
Yet, even as the Fox is
old and slow compared
to its younger relatives,
it still serves as a source
of joy for many of its
loyal fans. Across park-
ing lots at car shows
and in Internet message
boards, the Fox still has
an incredible following.
One such loyal group
is the crew at the South-
eastern Foxbodies club.
Formed in 2001, this
club is made up of some
of the most passionate
Fox Mustang fans that
we have run across.
From hosting the mas-
sive Fox cruise at Mus-
tang Week to putting
together this impressive
charity Fox, the club
keeps the love for Fox
Mustangs alive. It was
on that clubs website
(www.sefb.net) that
inspiration transformed
into perspiration and
admiration.
Save A Fox is an
idea that came about
in early 2012 when
one member posted on
the club forum: We
all have so many spare
parts for these cars I
bet we have enough to
build a complete car,
explained Troy Raby.
That tongue and cheek
statement evolved into
the desire for our club
to build a Fox and raffle
it off for charity.
It was a great idea,
but how often do you
and your friends come
up with a great idea,
talk it all out, and never
make good on the plan?
Well, that was never a
danger with the dedi-
cated members of this
club. Their passion for
the Fox is contagious,
and they quickly took
the idea and went to
work turning it into a
reality.
A project committee
was formed by six SEFB
members. The commit-
tee brainstormed and
put pen to paper rather
quickly with the basic
structure of the overall
project. Then we let
the club determine the
direction the project
would take. We held
voting on all aspects of
the build, from motor,
to paint, to interior, and
beyond. The finished
product would be
exactly what the club
wanted, and it would
capture the essence of
the Fox driving experi-
ence.
Not only would the
car celebrate the Fox,
but the resulting raffle
would benefit three
worthy charitiesthe
Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation
(www.jdrf.org), The
Victory Junction Gang
Camp (www.victory
junction.org), and
Savannah Drive, which
benefitted an 8-year-old
girl fighting Leukemia.
The club would divide
the raffle monies evenly
between these three
beneficiaries.
Long before the car
could be raffled, the
club had to find a car
THE FINISHED
PRODUCT
WOULD BE
EXACTLY WHAT
THE CLUB
WANTED, AND IT
WOULD CAPTURE
THE ESSENCE
OF THE FOX

EXPERIENCE.

like these that really make a
project rise above the crowd,
and its hard to go wrong with
a project moniker like this.

a nice balance of fun and
function.

SAVE A FOX
and save it. That began
when Sam Poteat,
the owner of Out To
Pasture Pony Parts
in Kannapolis, North
Carolina, donated a
well-worn 89 LX to the
cause. It was relatively
straight and rust free,
but it did suffer from
pervasive hail damage
and the commonplace
relocation of the fac-
tory radiator support
caused by a front-end
collision. Still, it was a
running four-cylinder
Mustang, and the Save
A Fox project had its
start. From there the
club was on a mission.
They stripped the car to
a shell, put it on a rotis-
serie, and hauled it to
Mustang Week in 2012
to announce the project
and start promoting the
raffle. With tickets for
sale and a build sched-
ule set, they decided to
hold the raffle drawing
a year later at Mustang
Week 2013.
We created a parts
wanted list and the
members responded,
donating a number of
new and used parts.
Knowing the grand
prize needed to be
something special,
stepping up the safety,
performance, and
aesthetic portions of
the build would require
outside support, Troy
confessed. We reached
out to the Mustang
aftermarket community
and the response was
overwhelming
Even with all the
support the project re-
ceived, it needed a home
base. The plan was for
various members of the
club to pitch in on the
build, but every build
needs a shop. Fortunate-
ly, this project found a
roof under a shop, but
not just any shop. No,
this outfit not only of-
fered a roof, equipment,
and parts to further the
cause, its owner offered
a near limitless fountain
of knowledge about the
Fox breed. The shop?
Fox Mustang Restora-
tion in Locust, North
Carolina.
My favorite part
of building the Save A
Fox was the connection
that I made with the
Southeastern Foxbodies
members and seeing
them all come together
for this project. It was
really amazing to have
what seemed like an
army of people in my
shop who were willing
to work on this project,
even if they had no
prior experience, said
Matt Highley of Fox
Mustang Restoration.
I would have several
stations of mini-projects
going on at once; I
would show one station
what needed to be done,
panels and Cervinis
hood, and then apply
a mile-deep paint
job in a modern Ford
color, Deep Impact Blue.
Meanwhile, Kannapolis
Engine Service turned
a $50 351 block donated
by a club member into
a stout, naturally aspi-
rated small-block crank-
ing out 328 horsepower
and 359 lb-ft of torque
at the feet.
The club wanted
a hot driver and we
got exactly that. The
car idles steady at 900
rpm with a fantastic
lope, drives great, and
pulls strong through
a broad torque curve
from the 358ci Wind-
sor, Troy enthused. It
has all of this with the
A/C on and the Kicker
sound system pumping,
without a single squeak
Like its outward appearance, the inside of Save A Fox takes the factory look and tastefully
enhances it. A Florida 5.0 cluster filled with Auto Meters finest replaces the stock gauges. Mean-
while, TMI Products revamped the stock seats with its Cobra-style foam and new upholstery and
supplied the custom door panels, while Redline Goods supplied the suede accents on the dashpad,
shift boot, and armrest cover. The fresh carpet, floormats, and Dynamat underneath came to
the car via CJ Pony Parts. In all, the result is quiet and classy. Underneath the factory floorpan,

and then move over to
the next station and
direct them. Before I
knew it, we had 15-20
people working on this
thing at once. I enjoy
teaching people about
Foxes and this project
gave me the opportu-
nity to do that.
Of course, build-
ing this sort of car in
a years time required
more than just the
generosity of the club
members. They needed
some professional help
to complete some of
the major segments.
Certainly Matts con-
tribution of over 150
hours of labor cant be
overlooked, but the club
also turned to Toyota
West Collision Center
to install the Scott Rod
One look at Save A Fox and
its easy to see why the
clean, simple lines of the
LX have stood the test of
time. The only deviations
from stock in this view are
the Cervinis cowl hood and
the GT rear wing, which sup-
planted the stock LX wing.
+OF COURSE, BUILDING THIS SORT OF
CAR IN A YEARS TIME REQUIRED MORE
THAN JUST THE GENEROSITY OF THE
CLUB MEMBERS.

Simple and effective is the
naturally aspirated combina-
tion under the hood. Assem-
bled by Kannapolis Engine
Service in Kannapolis, North
Carolina, the rebuilt roller
351W is topped by 185cc Trick
Flow Twisted Wedge heads
and a Trick Flow R intake
breathing through an Accufab
75mm throttle body and a
Pro-M 80mm mass air sensor.
Sporting 9.4:1 compression,
KES left some room for the
built Windsor to accept boost
should the new owner chose
to add more power. Even NA,
the combo put down 328
horsepower to the feet.
It was an exhausting
effort and a monumental
task to pull off. We built one
heck of a car and actually
met the deadline without
killing one another, which is
a testament to the members
of Southeastern Foxbod-
ies, Troy said. This was a
rewarding project for our
club on so many levels, and
it shows what the Mustang
community is capable of.
People keep asking us if we
will do another one. Ill never
say never, but if we do, Im
pretty sure Ill just buy a
ticket and let someone else
run point.
+THE CLUB WANTED A HOT DRIVER AND WE GOT EXACTLY THAT. THE CAR IDLES

1989, but it was reborn
in 2013.
Reborn indeed. With
the completed car lead-
ing the Fox cruises to
Mustang Week, Troy
and the entire South-
eastern Foxbodies club
pulled off an impres-
sive feat. They had
completed the car and
sold 2,800 raffle tickets
prior to Mustang Week
2013. By the time the
drawing came around,
the remaining 2,200
tickets had sold. All that
was left to do was pick
a winner. On the final
day of the event at the
big cruise-in, the club
enlisted a random kid
from the audience to
walk up and pull one
ticket from the tumbler.
It never even
crossed my mind that
I would actually win,
says raffle winner An-
drew. The car wasnt
even finished, and the
pictures I had seen were
of this red-and-black
shell on a rotisserie. I
just wanted to donate
to the charities the
call from Troy caught
me totally off guard.
(My friends) kept say-
ing, Who builds a car
like this and just gives
it away? I told them,
These guys in North
Carolina did!
Apparently Andrew
wasnt the only one
feeling lucky that day.
The club was relieved
that a true Fox fan had
won the raffle. The
entire club, especially
the build committee,
worried that the winner
would might part the
car out or do something
contrary to what we
intended. We had no
control over that aspect,
but it weighed heav-
ily in the back of our
minds, Troy confessed.
Ironically, Andrew is a
Fox fan, and he had sold
his 92 LX hatch just
a month earlier as he
contemplated his next
hot-rod Mustang. We
made the decision easy
for him, and it couldnt
have gone to a better
person.
What began as an
idea to reconstruct a
Fox from used parts
turned into a far
more broad-reaching
restomod project. In the
process, it benefitted
three worthy causes
and brought the lucky
winner a new Fox to
enjoy. It really couldnt
have worked out better.
It also stands as a
testament to the power
Mustang wields not just
under the hood, but
also as a force to bring
people together. Nicely
done, Southeastern
Foxbodies. 5.0

built with Roush, so
the quality is top notch.
That also makes them
a natural upgrade for
Roush Mustangs.
Ive been knee-deep
in the Roush market for
years. We had a very
successful VMP 500hp
kit for the 05-10 Roush
Stage 3/427R cars. With
it, customers could add
our pulley, tune, and a
Steeda CAI we pack-
aged with the upgrade,
and get a good bump
in horsepower, Justin
explained. However,
it pretty much stopped
there. Engine modifica-
tions like camshafts
and overdrive crank
balancers were required
to go further, and even
then the combos still
topped out around 530

The 1.9L VMP TVS is good for up to 15 pounds of
boost on the six-rib belt, and is far more efficient
than the M90 Roots blower that is standard on the
05-10 Roushcharger kits. Among its many VMP-
engineered benefits is a bolt-on pulley arrangement,
which allows for easy pulley swaps should you want
more boost at the track than you run on the street.
Designed to lift a Three-Valve 4.6L to 435 horse-
power and 400 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel
thanks to 5 pounds of boost, the Roush M90 super-
charger kit provides a fun-to-drive gain, especially
down low. However, the Roots-style blower tends
to heak-soak rapidly, especially if you turn up the
boost with a smaller pulley.
This Eaton blower has served Matt Silvares 08
Roush 428 well, but its time to see what the VMP
TVS can do. Ricardo starts by removing the strut-
tower brace and driver-side fuel railyou need to
safely relieve the pressure before unbolting it. Then
he loosens the supercharger belt, and disconnects
the electrical and vacuum connections. With that
done, only six bolts hold the Eaton M90 to the
intercooled Roush lower intake manifold. After
freeing the fasteners, Ricardo lifts the blower off
the engine. You might want a friend to help with
this part.

nology, we are able to
remotely log onto mul-
tiple computers from
across the country. I had
GTR set up a laptop for
datalogging procedures
and the desktop to view
the dyno runs, Bob
explained. Its better
than being there in per-
son, as I dont smell like
exhaust when Im done
tuning. Its important to
have a competent person
on the other end, as he
listens for detonation and
things that dont seem
right.
Experienced tuners
know where to adjust
the programming for a
given combination, but in
the end, it comes down
to tweaking the timing
curve and air/fuel ratio.
In the case of this com-
bination, the improved
supercharger efficiency
allowed for more aggres-
sive tuning. The TVS
charge temps are much
lower than its traditional
Roots counterpart, Bob
explains. This means we
can run the car a little
leaner and with more tim-
ing. That equates to more
power and torque!
The results certainly
speak for themselves.
Matts car had a strong
baseline thanks to a
smaller pulley on the
M90, as stock setups usu-
ally clock in around 360
at the wheels. However,
the power and torque
improvements from the
VMP TVS come on early
and stay until the needle
hits the top of the tach.
These are the kind of
gains that will not only
make you smile every
time you step on the
loud pedal, but will really
make the vehicle faster.
Of course, you could see
higher gains with good
East Coast pump gas and
higher boost, but these
gains are stout.
If the vehicle had an
aftermarket motor with
forged internals and a
real fuel system, we could
have easily made another
30-40 horsepower! Bob
said. The VMP 1.9 TVS is
a great inexpensive swap
for the Three-Valve S197
platform!
On a conservative
91-octane tune and boost
Now its time to see what this
new combo can do. Ricardo
straps the TVS-equipped
Roush to GTRs Dynojet
chassis dyno. At press time,
Matt was still breaking in a
new clutch, so he had yet to
experience a full-throttle hit.
The only WOT pulls were made
on the dyno for our story.
Of course, VMP can provide
a tune with its kit, but GTR
has a standing arrangement
with Bob Kurgan at Kurgan
Motorsports to dial in and
remotely tune vehicles. As
such, Ricardo ran the dyno
and listened for detonation,
while Bob looked over the
datalogs and dyno data to
tune the combination.
Bob refined the combina-
tion over several pulls, and
the result is a significant
improvement in power and
torque across the entire rpm
range. Of course, the gains
really start rocking around
3,100 rpm and swells all the
way to redline, which shows
off the efficiency of the VMP
TVS technology.
levels that are safe for
the stock bottom end,
that gain is pretty nor-
mal. I dont recommend
pushing the stock engine
beyond 500 rwhp, even
when you consider the
efficiency of the TVS.
Justin explains.
At the same boost
level as the M90, you
gain 50 rwhp right off
the bat. Push the boost
2- to 3-psi harder and
you can be at 500 rwhp
pretty quick. Our local
test car has made 698
rwhp with the blower
on a 5.0L stroker with
Hot Rod cams and Ford
Racing heads.

While the outgoing Roots blower is shiny, the 1.9L
VMP TVS is obviously a bit larger. It also features a
driver-side inlet as opposed to the passenger-side
inlet on our test vehicle. The 10 Roush Mustangs
feature a driver-side inlet, so installation is further
streamlined. Though it is physically larger, we
weighed the two superchargers and the VMP TVS
(38 pounds) only clocks in 5 pounds heavier than
the M90 (33 pounds). The extra power will more
than make up for that modest weight increase.
horsepower due to the small M90 blower.
Until recently, many of the full super-
charger systems were dedicated to newer
Mustangs and the vaunted Terminator.
VMP certainly offered upgrades for Eaton-
supercharged Three-Valve 4.6s, but the
newest addition to its line of supercharger
upgrades is a 1.9L TVS supercharger
thats a direct bolt-on for 05-10 Mustangs
As you can see from the belly of the two super-
chargers, the VMP TVS (left) features a much larger
discharge area for boost to exhale from its more ef-
ficient rotors. The real calling card of the TVS is its
helical rotor pack, which is far more efficient than
traditional Roots rotors. Interestingly, the 1.9 rotors
are the same diameter as its 2.3 big brother, they
are just shorter, which decreases their displace-
ment, but improves efficiency a bit.

ROUSH BLOWER UPGRADE
+THE VMP TVS
UPGRADE KIT
FOR 05-10
THREE-VALVE
4.6L WITH
M90 SUPER-
CHARGERS
(PN 19TVSM90;
$3,599) CAN
DELIVER A GAIN
OF UP TO 250
HORSEPOWER AT
THE WHEELS ON
VEHICLE WITH
A BUILT ENGINE,
AN OVERDRIVE
CRANK DAMPER,
AND AN EIGHT-
RIB BELT.
To reorient the inlet to the driver side on 05-09 Roushcharg-
ers, the VMP kit includes a P51-style cold-air inlet, as well as
the necessary hoses and harnesses to facilitate a hassle-free
install. If you own a 10 Roush, you can save money and install
time by retaining the factory air inlet (if you run a GT throttle
body). In either case, you can also opt for an aftermarket CAI if
you are so inclined.
Like its VMP 2.3L big brother,
the 1.9 is equipped with
VMPs signature Q-port
inlet, which Justin has
perfected after years of
porting TVS inlets. Now these
inlets are cast into the VMP
superchargers, so no porting
is necessary. This opening
maximizes flow and allows
for the installation of VMPs
high-flow inlet elbows. With
the proper pulleys sizes,
gains of 50-250 rwhp are
possible over the M90. A
larger throttle body such as
the VMP Twin Jet 67mm will
yield as much as a 30-rwhp
gain, while the stock GT500
dual 60mm is an inexpensive
upgrade that is worth about
15 rwhp, Justin said. We
make two elbows for the VMP
1.9L to allow use of the GT
bolt pattern if you already
have an upgrade you like, or
the use of the larger GT500
bolt pattern.
In the case of the 1.9, you can opt to run an elbow for a smaller
stock throttle body, or move up to an elbow that can accept
GT500 and larger aftermarket bodies. Naturally, we opted for
the latter and ran a GT500 throttle body (bottom), which you
can see is significantly larger than the GT unit (top). Stepping
up to the larger throttle body can be worth anywhere from 10
to 30 horsepower, depending on whether you run a stock GT500
throttle body or move up to a larger Cobra Jet or VMP body. We
stuck with the GT500 for our 10-psi setup, but with more boost
a higher-flowing unit would be prudent.
With an increase in boost,
it is wise to install a set of
colder plugs and rein in the
gap a bit. Here Ricardo uses
this handy tool to set the
new Autolite HT0s at a boost-
friendly 0.032 inch.
While the blower and inlet hardware was out of the way, Matt
took the opportunity to have Ricardo install a set of powder-
coated cam covers from Ford Racing Performance Parts. Though
this is not a required part of the supercharger install, the black
finish really meshes well with the black finish on the VMP TVS.
Now we are getting somewhere. Its time to drop the VMP TVS
onto the Roush lower intake. It is a direct bolt-on, and reuses
the metal blower-to-intake gasket. Just be sure that the
alignment dowels are in place before you lower the TVS into
place. Also, the left-rear mounting hole is slotted, so you need
to start the fastener, and slide the blower over the dowels and
onto the fastener before dropping it down. There is enough
clearance, so dont worry. With the blower in place, tighten
the bolts to 20-30 ft-lb of torque. The intercooler core in the
manifold is approximately the same size as the core in factory
Terminators. VMP has successfully run big boost with the 2.3L
TVS, so this setup works well for the 1.9.
With the blower bolted into place, its time to start reconnect-
ing things and reinstall the driver-side fuel rail. Ricardo Td
into the vacuum line for the fuel-pressure rail sensor to provide
a signal for the bypass valve. On 10 Mustangs, the fuel-rail
crossover is in the rear, so you dont even have to disturb the
fuel system. For the earlier cars, it is also important to install
the protective sleeving provided in the kit to protect the
crossover where it touches the larger supercharger.

equipped with Roush superchargers. That
includes Roush Stage 3 and 427R Mustangs,
or Three-Valves equipped with the after-
market version of the Roushcharger kit.
Our manufacturing partnership with
Roush allowed us to design and build a
turnkey TVS upgrade for the M90. It was
tough, but we were able to fit the larger
TVS in the M90s place and give it a correct
driver-side inlet, Justin said.
Space was the driving factor to use the
1.9L. It limits peak boost, but has a host
of other benefits. The 1.9 takes less power
to turn and is less prone to belt slip with
smaller pulleys. Its more efficient in the
midrange than the larger unit.
The VMP TVS Upgrade Kit for 05-10
Three-Valve 4.6L with M90 superchargers
When parts are built for maximum performance, it
can make installation a bit trickier. Its not a big
deal, but the larger inlet makes accessing the lower
fasteners a bit more challenging. Fortunately the in-
let mounts are slotted, so you simply start the two
lower fasteners, then slide the inlet into place and
use an Allen-head extension to tighten them down.
After installing the inlet, Ricardo bolted on the
GT500 throttle body and made the wiring and PCV,
EVAP, and brake booster vacuum connections. The
VMP kit includes all the needed wiring-harness
extensions and new hoses to simplify this process.

ROUSH BLOWER UPGRADE
If you push the boost beyond 10 psi, as we did, you will need
to either install a fuel-pump-voltage booster or a GT500
dual-pump setup. Naturally VMP offers its own pump booster
(VMPAMP; $249.99). To address the need for more fuel, Ricardo
turned to a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump (KB-89067; $239.99), as
Kenne Bell HQ is right around the corner from GTR. The single
BAP is easily installed with a plug-and-play harness. We used
the KB BAP jumpered for full-time operation and opted to
control all the fuel pump duty cycle, pressure, and such through
the tune, Ricardo explains. This avoids and spikes in fuel
pressure when the BAP is triggered with a boost switch and
avoids the possibility of the adjustment knob getting moved
around.
The aforementioned inlet is essentially the same hardware used
on the Roush P51. Its installation is straightforward clamp-
and-hose work. Ricardo installed the heatshield first, then
assembled the inlet tubing and filter so he could slide them
on it as one piece. Then it was just a matter of connecting the
breather tube and plugging in the mass air sensor.
Before installing the belt, Ricardo reinstalls the alternator. The
alternator installs right back in the same spot it did with the
M90 supercharger. With the alternator back in place, Ricardo
loosens the tensioner and reinstalls the serpentine belt.
Here is a look at the completed install. VMP says it will take 1
to 2 hours to perform the swap. It might take a little longer if
youve never done this work before, but it is a straightforward
install. Moreover, the finished product looks factory. If it
werent for the VMP logo on the blower, the average passerby
might think this combo came straight from Roush.
VMP offers pulleys from 63
to 85 mm, and they all are
easily swapped. We chose
the 75mm pulley to generate
about 10 pounds of boost,
and Ricardo bolts it on here.
Be sure to use thread-locking
adhesive on the fasteners to
ensure the pulley stays put.
You can go up to 15 pounds
of boost with the 63mm
pulley on the six-rib belt
standard on the Roush kits.
For engines with stroker kits
or aftermarket camshafts,
Justin recommends an over-
drive crank damper and an
eight-rib conversion, which
VMP offers.
(PN 19TVSM90; $3,599)
can deliver a gain of up
to 250 horsepower at
the wheels on a vehicle
with a built engine, an
overdrive crank damper,
and an eight-rib belt.
Our test vehicle is a
slightly modded 08
Roush 428R owned by
Matt Silvares. It obvi-
ously wasnt ready to
max out the boost, but it
serves as a great testbed
to see what the average
Roushcharged 4.6 owner
can expect to see from
this upgrade.
The TVS 1.9 is an
ideal swap for a custom-
er that currently owns a
Roushcharger. It allows
for a very easy swap
that is DIY-friendly,
looks factory, and signif-
icantly increases power
output in a cost-effective
package, says Ricardo
Topete of GTR High
Performance. Since a
great deal of the Roush-
supplied supercharger
components are re-used,
it really keeps the cost
down to a minimum and
provides a blower that
has room to grow.
To find out what its
worth, we met up with
Ricardo at GTRs Rancho
Cucamonga, California,
facility to follow the
installation and testing
of this offering. 5.0

knows all the tricks and ofers the following tips for success.

FOR 84-95 MUSTANGS
8.5 MORE HORSEPOWER!
7.2 MORE LBS. TORQUE!

5.0 Dyna-Module

Pep up your 5.0 with the Dyna-Module. The 5.0

Dyna-Mod has more electronic dwell time in it to
provide you with more coil saturation time. This
extra dwell time allows the coil to produce a more intense spark. Mounts in the
original position on the side of your distributor housing on 84-93 models. Mounts
under the air box on 94-95 models.
Screamin Demon

Coil
Open up your spark plug gaps to a whopping .060 when you
run our Screamin Demon Coil. The fatter spark it produces
burns fuel more efficiently. No drop off in power as RPMs go up.
The brass terminal coil tower is more conductive than the stock
aluminum terminal. It also resists corrosion longer. Your spark
plugs also stay cleaner. The Screamin Demon is easy to install,
mounting in the original equipment position.
NOTE: This coil is too hot for stock plug wires. Use our
5.0 LiveWires spark plug wires for maximum performance.
5.0Firepower
After bolting on our Dyna-Mod, Screamin Demon
Coil, and 5.0 Cap and Rotor, you'll need a set of
Livewire

Spark Plug Wires to deliver a hotter spark
to your plugs. LIVEWIRES come with space age, heat
resistant sleeving to provide protection from exhaust heat, non-flammable and
non-corrosive to chemicals. LIVEWIRES are custom fitno assembly is required
Each wire is numbered on each end for the correct cylinder. Spiral wound core
prevents electronic interference. Available in blue, black, red, yellow, purple
or silver.
5.0 Cap & Rotor
Youll definitely need a cap and rotor thats
capable of handling the high output sparks
which the Dyna-Mod and Screamin Demon
produce. The super conductive brass terminals
on our 5.0 Cap and Rotor deliver all of your spark to the plugs.
Excellent dielectric strength resists carbon tracking. Comes in Ford blue.
Performance Distributors new
5.0 Hot Forged 5.0 Distributor
encompasses the toughness
and durability that your 5.0
motor demands. Hot forging is
superior to both casting and billet
processes because the metals
natura| grain ow is designed
to conform to the shape of the
product being made. As you forge
a piece of metal, the high pressure
collapses the individual grains.
This results in a denser, stronger,
and more durable distributor. Also,
forgings are superior in tensile
strength (stretching properties
under exertion). The structural
integrity of hot forging allows a
more consistent response to heat
treatment and CNC machining
operations compared to castings
and billet units. Remember, billet
is only another name for lump of
metal. The term has been used
over the years by marketers to
confuse the consumer.

A Word About Hot Forging
Stee| is composed of groups of mo|ecu|ar
structures that align themselves at
random. Fortunately, steel can be shaped
as needed when heated. Hot forging heats
stee| to over 2000 degrees. Whi|e heated,
stee| can be modied to a|ign its bers
by the lines of force needed to obtain the
optimum strength in the desired direction.
The 5.0 Hot Forged Distributors go
through this process on state of the art of
hot forging machines.

ost of us have

A project car
starts off with
a rush of passion and
enthusiasm. We cant
wait to get out to the
garage and make it
happen. Then life gets
in the way. Whether its
the pressure of budgets,
the commitments of
work, or the need to
spend time with family,
there just isnt the time
we need to move the car
along as quickly as we
had hoped.
Often this sort of
life-versus-project-car
battle can bring us to
a crossroads. We can
either persevereuntil
the budget, passion, and
time find usor we can
cash it in. Many par-
tially finished projects
have changed hands due
to project-car burnout.
Often its another fellow
enthusiast that picks up
the pieces and benefits
from the efforts of the
last owner. Its far less
often that a shop brings
back a fallen project
from the brink and
turns it into a rolling
business card. However,
thats just what hap-
pened to this gorgeous
Mustang.

Now dont think that
this car was in a com-
plete state of disrepair.
In fact, a lot of time,
effort, and money had
been dedicated to beau-
tifying it. Despite those
efforts, the project hung
in stasis, but perhaps
its the impressive looks
that helped the car find
the finish line it was
meant for all along.
Before the car got to
us, it had already been
fully taken apart and
painted with the beauti-
ful House of Kolors Ma-
jestic Blue paint, so we
just had to plan how the
car was to be finished,
notes a KMS team
member. The original
plan for the car was to
build a high-horsepower
street car, so we stuck to
that plan
The crew at KMS put
their heads together
to come up with the
strategy to fulfill this
cars complete street car
destiny. Its goal wasnt
just high performance,
but it was meant to be-
come an ultimate street
car. From our experi-
ence with the King of
the Street competition,
we are all too familiar
with how difficult it is
to create one of these
masterpieces. The KMS
crew was confident they
had the right plan, and
KMS Jim Jarrad and
Mike Kollander handled
the construction.
Central to this build
was the installation of a
Four-Valve 5.4L modular
engine in place of a pe-
destrian Two-Valve 4.6.
The process was started
by the original owner,
but KMS took it to the
next level. This is no
stock 5.4 or basic crate
engine. Bob is a racer at
heart, so the KMS crew
turned to noted race-
engine builder Proline
Race Engines, which
constructed a stout

We all know that a super-
charged 5.4 is a stout combo

The power was

combo laid down 830
rear-wheel horsepower

up like a slot machine

94-04, 05-10, and

subset of that overall
timeframe is a series of
special-edition Ponies
called SVT Cobras,

B
y a show of hands, how many of you know that Eatons M112
supercharger was not the blower that Ford SVT engineers
initially selected for then-new 03 Cobras? Thats right, an Eaton
M90 blower was chosen first. However, when it became clear
that the smaller unit could not meet the huge intake-air require-
ment of Cobras 4.6L, 32-valve engine, the call was was made
to add the larger blower from SVTs Lightning pickup truck. The
decision resulted in an unheard of 390 horsepower at the fly-
wheel (for a production EFI Mustang), and the rest, as they say,
is history.

BUDGET TERMINATOR
Tedds mission to buy and upgrade a Terminator on a small
budget got off to a great start when he scored this fantasti-
cally mint (one owner and babied) black 03 for only $22 grand.
The car was listed on Craigslist.com and was located not too far
from where Tedd lived.
At the projects outset, the 4.6L 32-valve bullet in Tedds Cobra
was completely stock with the exception of Lethal Performance
coil covers, and a Bassani catted X-pipe and Flowmaster muf-
flers. In our first report, Tedd installed a slew of popular Cobra
bolt-ons that were all purchased at minimal cost (through
shopping and horse trading with fellow Terminator fans on
Mustang forums). These increased the stockers power from
404.65 to 430.07 for a total cost of only $1,118.

Immediately after the bolt-on session, the team at GTR pulled
the transmission and exhaust, replacing the stock pieces with
new hardware from McLeod Racing (RXT twin-disc clutch) and
long-tube headers from BBK Performance. A return to the dyno
wasnt immediate, as Tedd had to put roughly 500 miles on the
new clutch before we could evaluate the cars performance with
the long-tubes.
Here is the showpiece for
our last segment of Tedds
projecta Gen 1 Whipple 2.3L

increased performance
has been well covered
over the years. At this
point, the tried-and-true
templates for increas-
ing steam havent really
changed.
The initial jump to
more horses is made by
installing a variety of
bolt-on parts that focus
on optimizing intake
and exhaust airflow,
and slightly raising
boost output (CAI,
throttle body and ple-
num, MAF, an X-shaped
crossover tube and
mufflers, and a smaller
blower pulley). Once
youre acclimated to the
Several support pieces for
the blower swap were neces-
sary, and Tedd stayed true
to his low-dollar plan with
each purchase. Pieces from
SCT (X2 programmer, Big Air
3000 MAF) and Metco (idler
pulley set) were all purchased
from online connections. A
set of new gaskets was the
only full-price setback be-
cause a Ford dealer was the
go-to source for those items,
which are highly recommend-
ed for a project like this.
As we explained in the first
report, Tedd stresses the
importance of communicating
with online sellers and asking
a lot of detailed questions
about parts youre consider-
ing. Doing this really helped
weed out the stuff that
wasnt good or complete,
as well as good sellers from
bad, he says.
Ricardo and Eddie go about
removing the Cobras stock
Eaton M112 supercharger.
While the blower produced
just over 6 psi of boost with
the factory pulley on Tedds
ride when the bolt-ons were
installed, the Roots-style
unit is capable of generating
8 psi.
With the stock blower
removed, Eddie extracts
the OEM intercooler, which
is reused with the new 2.3L
charger.
Because the new super-
charger is physically larger
(dimensionally) than the
M112, a slight modification to
the stock belt-tensioner is
necessary. Cutting material
(a small stopper) from the
tensioner will increase its
swing radius, and ensure
the belt remains tight under
boost conditions.
Ricardo cleans and prepares
the cylinder heads for
placement of the upgrade
supercharger. While residual
gasket material isnt an
issue with modular engines,
its still important to ensure
there is no debris around the
intake ports or any of the
head-to-manifold seal areas.
A set of new spark plugs
(PN NGK TR6/4177) was also
installed at this time.

Here is a comparative look at the original Eaton
M112 supercharger that Ford installed on its 03-04
Cobra Mustangs and the 2.3L twin-screwstyle
blower that were installing. The 2.3s larger air-
intake capacity, bigger rotors, and screw method
of forcing air into the engine are the major differ-
ences between the two, as are their discharge areas.
Before installing the new blower, Ricardo bolts
the OEM intercooler to the 2.3 and adds a bead of
silicone around the entire perimeter of the area
where the cooler is placed. This ensures a tight seal
and prevents boost or coolant leaks.

level of the project is
highlighted by replac-
ing the Cobras stock
supercharger, its first
data point comes from
dyno-testing with BBKs
long-tube headers and
H-pipe installed. The
components actually
were added immediately
after the first bolt-on
session (along with a
McLeod Racing RXT
twin-disc clutch system).
However, testing on the
Dynojet chassis dyno
could not be performed
until Tedd had driven
a few hundred miles to
break in the clutch.
While a supercharged Cobras
factory-installed 39-lb/hr in-
jectors (right) are capable of
supporting a little more than
450 rear-wheel horsepower,
stepping up to 60-lb/hr
squirters is necessary when
the stock blower is being
exchanged for a 2.3L unit.
With the low-budget blower
in place, Ricardo gives the
pulley a few turns to confirm
the rotors spin freely and
there are no other operating
issues.
Eddie positions the throttle
body, JLT air-intake tube,
and SCT BA3000 mass-air,
which were carried over from
the projects initial bolt-on
package.

Were going with a 3-inch-diameter pulley on the
supercharger. This is considerably smaller than the
stock 3.65-inch pulley, and should increase blower
speed enough to generate about 16 psi of boost.
Adding supercharger oil and a new serpentine belt
(a longer belt is required for the new blower), and
connecting such ancillary items as throttle/cruise-
control cables and such are the final steps in the
blower-swap process.
With its black finish, the bigger 2.3L charger looks
sinister atop the 32-valve bullet in Tedds Snake.

Obviously, add-
ing a 2.3L twin-screw
supercharger made
the biggest impact on
Tedds Stang, taking
rear-wheel horsepower
and torque well beyond
the 500/500 that Tedd
hoped his upgrades
would produce using
91-octane fuel. To make
such performance gains
possible, GTR High
Performance turned to
Bob Kurgan for assis-
tance with the Snakes
PCM calibration.
While proper fuel-
ing is critical whenever
forced-air increases are
made, spark is equally
important. In tuning
Tedds ride, Bob focused
on making small tim-
ing increasesstarting
with 16 degrees, and
eventually locking in
18 degrees of timing
advanceto achieve 600
horsepower at the feet,
with a very safe 11.6
air/fuel ratio. (A glory
pull that yielded almost
610 horses was made
after nearly an hour
cool down and with 20
degrees of timing.)
Below is a final ver-
sion of Tedds detailed
ledger of his projects
expenses (parts/labor
prices), and how those
amounts relate to the
increased horsepower
and torque. One of the
things that makes his
project so compelling
and relatable is the fact
that all of the perfor-
mance improvement
came by way of adher-
ing to a tight budget and
making good choices
when partsnew or
usedwere purchased.
Its something thats
easy enough for anyone
to do.
GTR High Performance works very closely with Bob Kurgan of
Kurgan Motorsports when developing custom PCM calibrations
for upgraded Stangs that require changes in the computers
air, fuel, and timing strategies. Bob uses SCTs Advantage III
software to create a new file for Tedds car, which Ricardo
downloads into the shops workstation and then transfers
into an X2 handheld programmer for porting into the Cobras
processor.
WHILE PROPER FUELING IS
CRITICAL WHENEVER FORCED-AIR
INCREASES ARE MADE, SPARK IS
EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

gains and the need for more becomes too
great, a power-adder change of some sort
is the standard next move. Were talking
about an upgrade that typically involves
doing away with a Snakes factory Eaton
supercharger, and replacing it with a twin-
screw or TVS unit that displaces more air
volume, and ultimately makes more boost.
Weve been following the modification
efforts of Tedd Mason, a Southern Califor-
nia Cobra owner, who is taking such steps
toward achieving big steam with cost serv-
ing as a major guideline for his project.
As we detailed in our first report on
Project Cheap Snake (July 14, p. 64), Tedd
was able to beef up his 03 Terminator
with just the basic bolt-ons, which he
acquired through shrewd, online parts
deals with fellow Cobra owners. As we
explained, Tedds ultimate goal is to hope-
fully increase his Snakes power output to
the 600-horse range, by way of addition of
a replacement supercharger procured by
the same frugal means.

his brothers Termina-
tor. Around this time
he had just sold his
beloved 93 Cobra and
was on the hunt for a
new project.
I ended up selling
the Cobra and picking
up an all-original Reef
Blue coupe from a guy
in Chicago. Once I got
the car, I immediately
started tearing into it
to install some go-fast
parts, Jonathan said.

+NOW PUTTING A GT500 5.4 IN A FOX HAS BEEN DONE, BUT IT IS
FAR FROM A COMMONPLACE SWAP.
72 5.0 SEPTEMBER 2014
775HP FOX COUPE
My original goal was
to build an X275 car
out of the coupe, so
off I went. I installed
a cage, minitubs, and
all the other goodies
to support 1,000-plus
horsepower. I ended up
making around 1,200
horsepower with a 363
and a T-6framed 88mm
turbo. The car was fast;
it ran consistent 5.20s at
140 mph.
Surely many of you
reading this would be
happy to own a 1,000hp
drag car. However, in
the world of X275 rac-
ing, keeping up with
the front-runners means
keeping up with their
spending. Jonathan
decided it would just
cost too much to keep
his car competitive, so
he adjusted his focus
to returning the Fox
to the street. Making
that move called for
something a bit tamer
than the turbocharged
363ci small-block, and
it didnt take Jonathan
long to form a new plan
for doing just that.
My brother Jeremy
had an 03 Cobra with
a blower on it. I loved
the performance and
driveability that combo
offered, Jonathan
confessed. Of course,
never wanting to do
anything typical, I
decided to buy a GT500
motor out of a wrecked
car. I was able to find
a motor with 800 miles
on it
Now putting a GT500
5.4 in a Fox has been
done, but it is far from
a commonplace swap.
Jonathan had a head-
start thanks to the flex-
ible AJE K-member that
once embraced the 363.
A simple motor-mount
swap would allow the
5.4 to bolt right in. He
took it upon himself
to modify a set of JBA
Headers long-tubes to
mate the big modular to
the rest of the exhaust
system. After about 30
hours of fabrication
and welding, he had
the exhaust solution
he was after. Then he
went about replacing
the factory coil-on-plug
ignition with a distribu-
tor driven off the cam
drive. Combined with
a crank trigger fitted
to an Innovators West
15-percent-overdriven
damper, the 5.4 was
ready to take orders
from a Big Stuff 3
standalone fuel injec-
tion system.
The car ran like
a top. Tuning resulted
in 540 horsepower
through the TH400
with the stock unported
blower that was making
about 16 pounds (of
boost). First pass out,
this car ran a 6.23 at
115 (in the eighth-mile).
I was tickled to death
with it, he enthused.
The car drove perfect.
I ended up driving the
car to and from Mus-
tang Week4.5 hours
each way.
Despite the fun
combination, Jonathan
is like most of ushe
wanted more power.
His next move was
swapping out the stock
Roots supercharger for
a 3.3L Lysholm twin-
screw blower. Simply
swapping the blower
delivered a massive
increase. The GT500-
powered Fox was now
clocking modded-GT500
powerwith 705 rear-
wheel horsepowerat
a much lighter fighting
weight. Jonathan knew
he was pushing his luck
with the stock engine.
Still, he wanted even
more.
I have always been
a turbo guy, and when
I bought the motor,
my original plan was
to turbocharge it. Off
came the blower and I
started my turbo build. I
flipped the factory man-
ifolds and built a turbo
setup based around a
Precision 7675-billet-
wheel, dual-ball-bearing
turbo. The lid is 6061
aluminum and is strictly
a lid. I wanted to use
Enhancing the classic Fox
interior are a pair of Corbeau

place. A Fastlane Motorsports
chrome-moly cage keeps the
chassis stiff and the passen-
gers safe, while a Florida 5.0
cluster filled with Auto Meter
and AEM gauges keeps tabs
on the turbo 5.4.
If the whoosh from the two Turbosmart blow-off valves wasnt enough to clue in potential chal-
lengers, the massive 345 rubber allowed out back by the minitubs lets you know this Fox is ready
for action.
Jonathan won a
familiar-sounding
race event, called
the King of the
Streets, at Rock-
ingham Dragway
in Rockingham,
North Carolina.
His car survived a
30-mile cruise and
three back-to-back
passes. He clocked
a 9.50 e.t. average
for the win. That
was back when the
5.4 was sporting
a Lysholm 3.3L
supercharger.


+EVEN THOUGH JONATHANS COUPE IS STREET-FRIENDLY, HE STILL LIKES TO MAKE
SOME LAPS AT THE DRAGSTRIP.
Turbocharging was always
part of Jonathans plan for
this coupe. However, what
started as a pushrod-
powered race car morphed
into a street car. To make
it even more streetable, he
swapped in a 5.4L modular
engine. After an engine issue,
Jonathan turned to Justin
Talbert at JT Motorsports to
build a boost-friendly engine
with JE pistons, Manley rods,
and a Cobra Jet crankshaft.
The stout short-block is
topped by Ford GT Four-Valve
cylinder heads, a stock
GT500 lower intake, and a
custom upper fitted with a
mechanical FRPP Cobra Jet
monoblade throttle body.

Even though
Jonathans coupe is
street-friendly, he still
likes to make some laps
at the dragstrip. With
the boost cranked up
to 24 psi, he engaged
some rice burners at an

hard launch, the car
nosed over and ugly,

from the engine. The

could only preserve the

ing session, which Bob
was able to help diag-
nose. We were not able

like to see four-digit

That sounds like a

Jonathan. Can you say

unique theme.
To put a bow on
the project, we turned
to Keith Doughty, the
main man at KDezines,
to create a custom hatch
enclosure for the Fox
500. Keith is a genius
at rear-seat deletes and
custom audio creations
for Mustangs. By simply
sharing a few photos
and measurements with
Keith, he was able to
create an incredible
custom setup for the
hatch of our 88 T-top
LX. The system installs
in a logical fashion,
and it gives our audio
system the custom look
it deserves.
Filling that enclosure
with top-shelf audio
gear was crucial as
well. We chose Kickers


Heres a sampling of the Kicker gear we chose for our project
upgrade. We opted for the KS 65 coaxial speakers for the doors,
KS 5.2 components for the rear, and the PXi50.2 to control the
music from our iOS devices. Also shown is the Front Row digital
sound processor, which played the crucial role of dividing and
processing the single output from the PXi50.2 to the Kicker
KX400.4 four-channel amp and Kicker KX1200.1 sub amp. The
KX400.4 feeds the front and rear channels, while the KX 1200.1
pumps the low end to the two Kicker Comp RT 10-inch subwoof-
ers in the KDezines enclosure.
To carry the sound to and from the kicker speakers and amps,
we ordered up the necessary Scosche EFX Hexad RCA intercon-
nects and speaker wire. If you are looking for an easy way to
order audio gear like ours, just point your browser over to
Crutchfield.com.
We ran the speaker wire down both sides of the car under
the carpet to feed the door speakers, while the Scosche
RCAs routed right down the middle of the car and under the
passenger-side seat.
After removing the inner
door pull and carefully pop-
ping off the door panel, we
installed the Kicker KS 65
speakers in the door. These
are slightly large for the
factory opening, but with a
little massaging the fit. Of
course, the factory mounting
holes dont quite line up, so
we had to carefully drill some
new holes.
We also opted to install Kicker DSC35 3.5-inch speakers in the dash and feed them with audio
right from the PXi50.2. Not only does this placement deliver more even sound in front, it really
helped to have a simple way to test the system during setup. If you really wanted a simple, light-
weight audio system, you could just run the PXi50.2 and a pair of speakers. It wouldnt sound as
good as our system, but it would put tunes in your ride without much extra weight.
The Kicker KS 5.2 component woofers are a bit smaller than
the factory rear speakers, but they include this simple adapter
which allows them to mate with the factory speaker grille. We
mounted the component tweeters by modifying the shoulder
belt bezels in our 90-93 hatch panels, as we didnt update the
rear belts in our 88.
Since we were forgoing a traditional head unit, we mounted the
Kicker PXi50.2 inside the centerstack where the factory radio
guts once lived, and covered the hole with a simple block-off
plate. Sometime down the line we hope to upgrade to the new
Bluetooth version (see Horse Sense) and fill that spot with
an iPad mini, but for now we just want some tunes. After all,
project cars are never really finished.

FOR THE HATCH
OF OUR 88

Not only does the Front Row offer numerous adjust-
ments on the main box, it allows you to further
tweak it with this remote, which we placed in the
Fox 500s glovebox. Not only can you tweak the
bass level with this remote, you can adjust the
sound staging and surround to place the music in
the sweet spot for the intended listener, typically
the driver.
With all the speakers mounted and the wiring
routed, it was time to install the KDezines enclo-
sure. Keith fabbed this box to fit the factory spare
tire well and serve as the foundation for the entire
audio system presentation.
FOX AUDIO UPGRADE
Primarily designed to help tweak a
factory audio system to work with
aftermarket speakers and amps, the
Front Row digital sound processor is
a crucial piece of the Fox 500 audio
puzzle. It not only allowed us to split
the single preamp channel from the
PXi50.2 into three channels to suit the
needs of our two amplifiers, but it also
allowed us to tweak the sound of the
system to our liking. Sure you could
just plug a music player right into an
amp, but you wont have the tuning
capability delivered by the Front Row.
We cant recommend it highly enough
for a system like this.

The box fits snugly in the tire well, but it is further
secured to the car via two screws into the rear of
the well. There is little danger of a conflict there,
but be sure to crawl under your car and check
before you drill the holes and mount the enclosure.

After routing
the power and
speaker wires
to the tirewell
enclosure, we
placed the new
KDezines hatch
floor/amp rack
into place.
It not only
serves to fin-
ish the hatch,
but it hides
the wiring to
the amps and
cooling fans.
Next we wired up the Kicker KX1200.1 and KX400.4
amps and mounted them to the KDezines enclosure.
We also opted to hide the Kicker crossovers for
the rear-channel speakers inside the sub box for a
clean, easily accessible solution.
The Kicker KX1200.1 is a mono unit, so the subs are
wired in series. Keith at KDezines wired and sealed
the box for this arrangement, so we just had to
install the wires and mount the subs.
Keith also designed the beauty cover to match the
graphite-carbon-fiber inserts in our TMI Products
upholstery. It hides all the wiring and looks good
doing it.
The finishing touch of the amp and sub display is a
Plexiglas cover emblazoned with the KDezines logo.
We carefully placed it over the carbon cover, re-
moved the protective sheet, and screwed it in place.

unit for an audio system. It perfectly suits
our quest to have a simple, clean, mobile-
centric audio system in the Fox 500.
All told, the system sounds and looks
great, just like the Fox 500. The photos
and captions show how we closed out the
project by adding sound to its fury. 5.0
The KDezines enclosure isnt all about showing off.
To keep things a bit stealthy and protect the system
during everyday use, this speaker grille just pops
into place. Combined with the 5.0&SF-logod battery
box cover and the Fox 500 rear-seat panels, the
KDezines gear really gives the Fox 500 a proper
finish.
Heres one last peek-a-boo in the daylight with the
LED lights on. Keith at KDezines really outdid him-
self with this custom audio solution, and the Kicker
gear fills the Fox 500 with loud, clear rock n roll.
The whole system is controlled via the PXi50.2
remote, which we mounted in place of the factory
ashtray. All we need to do to hide its capabilities is
close the ashtray door and unplug our iPhone.

Without question, the star of both shows was obviously the 15 Mustang, specifically the 50th Anniversary Edition. Ford will only
build 1,964 of them, and there are several distinguishing characteristics to separate them from standard 15s. First, the 50th An-
niversary is a GT model with the Performance Pack, and its only available in Wimbledon White and Kona Blue. The rear-quarter win-
dows are louvered with layered sheets of glass, the faux gas cap out back is marked with GT and 50 Years, the 19-inch Y-spoke
wheels were inspired by the steel wheels bolted to the original Mustang, and chrome touches frame the cars tail lights, grille, and
side glass. 50th Anniversary-specific touches are on the seats and the dash, as well, with an exclusive two-tone cashmere-and-
black interior color scheme. Mustang Melvins already know the 50th Anniversary will be the only way to get an automatic-equipped
Performance Pack GT, which includes Brembo brakes, Pirelli P-Zero tires, and a limited-slip differential with 3.55 gears. Manual-
transmission 50th Anniversary GTs will receive a Torsen differential with 3.73s.
ing Mustangs 50th
year. Despite cloudless
skies and brilliant sun
at both venues at the
Thursday opening,
Mother Nature had
other ideas for the rest
of the weekend at the
North Carolina location.
So, if fair weather
was a consideration in
deciding where to take
your Mustang for the
50th anniversary, Las
Vegas proved unbeat-
able in its consistency.
Of course, geography
played the dominant
role in most celebrants
decisionmaking, with
East Coasters head-
ing to Charlotte and
Westerners hitting the
highway to Las Vegas.
However, the parties
global coordinates also
played a role in another
group of Mustangers
travel decisionsthose
coming from overseas.
Though there was a
strong foreign contin-
gent at Charlotte, we
think Las Vegas prob-
ably drew more visitors
from abroad. Not only
is the gambling town a
household name world-
wide thanks to endless
movie appearances, but
the western U.S. has an
exotic attraction, with


Even with the prevalence of 11-14 GTs and Shelby GT500s at
the show, we were still kind of surprised to see JLT Perfor-
mance as one of the vendors at Charlotte. JLTs customer base
leans to the more modified side of the Mustang fence, not the
MCA crowd. However, there was a steady stream of Mustang
fans through JLTs display, checking out the latest cold air
intakes, oil separators, and underhood accessories for their
Mustangs. JLT also had a couple display Mustangs to show its
products in the wild, just in case they were unaware.
Rich Johnson and Gerry
Brymer of Canada dont look
bothered by this grilling from
the local press at the Saleen
kick-off. The pair hail from
the Canadian maritimes(!),
and drove well over 4,000
miles from Nova Scotia, down
the East Coast and across
the southern U.S. just to
get to the West Coast Pony
Drive starting line. Obviously
making a vacation out of the
whole deal, the pair still had
to drive back to Canada in
their Lime Green convert, eh?
Showing how the Euro-
contingent saw the 50th
anniversary as a chance to
see the USA in their rented
Mustangs, this phalanx of
blue-and-white drop-tops
were positively slathered in
vinyl Slovakia, 50th, route
maps, and driver name stick-
ers. It would have been far
easier and less expensive for
them to attend the Charlotte
event without starting in
Corona, California!
WHAT BOTH
VENUES
OFFERED WAS A
HUGE FACILITY
READY TO WEL-
COME AS MANY
MUSTANGS AS
THE WORLD
COULD BRING.
Revolution Automotive cus-
tomers are known for having
wicked street cars, thanks to
Adam Browne and his crew.
Rob Rabon is the Rev Auto
customer who owns this 11
GT, which boasts 610 rwhp
thanks to a Paxton Novi 2200
supercharger, and increased
coolness thanks to a Airlift
Performance Digital airbag
suspension and a Chameleon
dip transformation. Rounding
out exterior mods are RTR
wheels, front fascia and
splitter, and rear decklid
and spoiler. Rob also does
quite a bit of photography in
the Baltimore area, as well,
under Rob Rabon Photogra-
phy. It appears Rob is adept
at shooting both cars and
people ... with a camera,
that is.
Las Vegas showgoers entered the speedway grounds via this
arched display of significant Mustangs sponsored by Ford. It
was a fine showcase, and we wish there had been more formal
displays such as this around the show.
At first, when
we saw Rick
Andrews little
89 coupe (with
a Four-Eye front
end), we thought
he had snuck past
security to get in
the show. Upon
second look, we
saw the car as
a project in the
works. Though
the exterior was
still a work-in-progress at Charlotte, under the hood is a Two-Valve with enough spray to hope-
fully eclipse 700 rwhp. The engine uses a Fastlane 5.0L stroker combination within a Teksid block,
Modular Performance-ported heads, Comp Cams XE274 cams, an Edelbrock carbureted intake,
an AED 850-cfm carburetor, and an MSD MOD-6 ignition. Rick sprays the house down with a NOS
Pro Shot Fogger kit, with all the power going through a Centerforce clutch, a 3650 transmis-
sion, and back to an 8.8 rear with 3.73 gear. Cobra brakes brings everything to a halt, and as of
this writing, Rick only has 350 miles on it so hes still breaking in the engine. Most of this cars
combination came from Ricks former 02 GT, which was totaled a few years ago. Pretty much the
whole drivetrain came from the 02, including the cars QA1 K-member and Hydro-boost system.
Creative Acoustics did the cars stereo system, which we unfortunately, werent able to listen to.
Rick has decided on House of Kolors Beryllum for the cars new paint, which should be done for
Mustang Week.
By Friday, Ford had a 50th Anniversary S550 special on the
rotunda in their main pavilion, and it got plenty of attention
right away. The new car doesnt take long to look good!
We could count the number of Fox Mustangs weve seen on bags
with one hand, and probably have a few fingers left. Taking
one finger is Jim Buehler from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, and
his 88 GT, which features a RideTech/Air Ride Technologies
suspension. In short, Jim hasnt left any nut or bolt unturned
on his GT. The drivetrain consists of a Ford Racing 347ci
stroker, a Tremec TKO transmission, an aluminum driveshaft,
and a 3.27-geard 8.8 with Moser Engineering axles. A Ford
Racing five-lug conversion featuring Cobra brakes brings the
fun to a stop, while Jim keeps an eye on the mechanicals via a
scattering of Auto Meter gauges. A Kenny Brown Performance
six-point cage encompasses the inteior, which benefits from
Classic Soft Trim leather seats and a KDezines rear seat delete.

its deserts, mountains,
and canyons, plus the
relatively nearby Los
Angeles and all its cin-
ematic celebrity. Which
may explain why 400
French made a highly
visible showing at the
Las Vegas confab, plus
numerous Germans,
Danish, Swedes, Austra-
lians, and New Zealand-
ersnone of which
discounts the legions of
good ol Mericuns that
showed up, too.
What both venues
offered was a huge fa-
cility ready to welcome
as many Mustangs as
the world could bring.
There was more than
ample parking outside
both Charlotte Motor
Speedway and Las
Vegas Motor Speedway,
tons of room inside for


When it came to looking at Mustangs at Las Vegas, the place
to be was outside the speedway in the northwest parking lot,
where the iron was lined up mainly in the order it rolled through
the gate, which made for endless variety. Here an uber-rare
Saleen SA-15 Speedster looks over everything from late-60s
restomods to a California Highway Patrol Fox.
Another Mustang we thought
to be out of its element on
Charlottes show field was
Roxanne Shepards Tweetie
New Edge GT, now wearing
a 03-04 Cobra nose. A
multi-time national event
winner in both NMRA and
Fun Ford Weekend, Roxanne
has also won countless local
events with the car. Roxanne
and husband, and legendary
Ford racer, Barry Shepard,
now live in Virginia Beach,
Virginia. We werent able
to catch up with Barry and
Roxanne at the show, but
seeing Tweetie brought back
a rush of memories of seeing
the car on track. We still
miss hearing Roxanne bang-
ing gears in her former 96
Tangerine GT back in the day.
Seeing how Las Vegas is also
home to Shelbys assembly
plant, it was no surprise
there were enough late-mod-
el Shelbys in the Las Vegas
50th mix to put on a serious
car show all by themselves.
Heres a typical example: a
cleanly-detailed GT350 with
Kenne Bell blower, with seven
Shelby event participant
stickers and sworn allegiance
to some heavyweight after-
market hardware, including a
wooden hood prop rod.
Unlike the Vegas event, which
had a dominating number of
Shelby GT500s, the Charlotte
event had a mixture of ev-
erything. Take, for example,
this Foose Stallion. This car
was Chip Fooses brief foray
into the Mustang tuner
market, if you will. This 07
model is naturally aspirated,
but the Stallion was available
with a supercharger and
a Roush custom tune. The
Foose Stallion benefitted
from Chips design cues from
front to rear to distinguish it
from your average Mustang.
Besides the exterior dif-
ferences, each Stallion also
came with Chips own paint
scheme ideas, with hues and
designs to further set them
apart.
Roush Mustangs? Yep, they
were there in squadron
strength. Here a P-51A leads
a flight of 427Rs and their
kin. We discovered a fair
number of model-specific
parking jobs such as this
around the speedways walk-
in entrance, which made it
easy to study the evolution
of these brands. You had
to look for them, though,
as there was no signage or
program guide to mark these
displays.
The midway at Charlotte had
a lot to offer Mustang fans,
and to our surprise, the
majority of vendors were
performance-based outfits.
Just on this row alone there
was SCT, Kooks, Redline Tun-
ing, and MMD, a subsidiary of
AmericanMuscle.com. MMD
was holding a giveaway of one
of its project cars, and we
stood in line to register for
even though we cant win the
car. Hey, a free shirt came
with registeringcan you
blame us?!
The supply of dressed-up
late-models was endless at
Las Vegas. This showy GT
is from Texas (and parked
among his club buddies) and
exemplifies the sophistica-
tion possible today with
easily applied graphics and
dress-up parts. Theres
plenty of hand-detailing
here, too.
Its said you cant know
where youre going until you
know where youve been. For
Mustang enthusiasts and the
15 Mustang, were still going
in the right directionand
this is where weve been.
On display at Charlotte was
this original Pace Car from
the Indianapolis 500. As the
sign says, this car was built
the first day of Mustang
production and sent to Hol-
man Moody to be prepped
for the race. As timeless as a
Mustang can get, this one is
all original, as seen on race
day over 50 years ago.
+THERES A
REASON WHY
CONVENTIONS,
INCLUDING THE
AUTOMOTIVE
KIND, DRIVE TO
LAS VEGAS. IN
CHARLOTTE,
ATTENDEES
WERE TREATED
TO SOUTHERN
CHARM, NUMER-
OUS NEARBY
AUTOMOTIVE
MUSEUMS, AND
A PLETHORA OF
DINING CHOICES.
Color sure plays a larger
part in Mustanging than ever
before. This is another visitor
from Texas. The ProCharged
3V looks like fun, but the red-
on-black treatment is what
catches the eye.
Steeda Autosports had its
famous #20 car at Charlotte,
taking people for hot laps
around the small infield
section and out on to the
legendary high banks of Char-
lotte Motor Speedway. Unlike
the Vegas event, which Tom
Wilson says was dominated by
S197 Mustangs, the Charlotte
event had an even mix of
every generation to keep the
crowd entertained.
There was no shortage of
restored early Mustangs at
Las Vegas to represent the
Mustang heritage, but to our
eye, Larry Knapps Boss 429
66 fastback drag car beats
them all. A street car for the
first three years and a drag
car ever since, the beast is
still owned and campaigned
by Knapp. Thats our kind of
one-owner Mustang!
Saleen had a large display
at the Charlotte event, as
well. With such a profound
effect on the Mustang hobby,
any Mustang fan would be
hard-pressed to pick his/her
favorite Saleen model. For
Associate Editor Johnson,
the 93 SA-10 just might
be at the top. A Saleen
10th Anniversary car, the
SA-10 was basically the most
custom Saleen you could
buy up to that time. There
were supposed to be 10 built,
but one buyer had to back
out; that car was left stock
and sold. Every SA-10 built
was a custom order, and no
two are exactly alike. Of the
nine built, eight remain in
well-loved hands. To see one
at Charlotte as an SA-10 fan
was a treat for everyone who
knows what it is.

MUSTANGS 50TH BIRTHDAY
vendors and displays,
an inside road course
for Ford demonstration
laps, and open-track
opportunities at both
speedways. At Las
Vegas, Nellis Air Force
Base next door provided
random moments of
jet-powered patriotism.
And need we note that
Las Vegas glitz was
just five miles down the
freeway? Theres a rea-
son why conventions,
including the automo-
tive kind, drive to Las
Vegas. In Charlotte,
attendees were treated
to Southern charm,
numerous nearby
automotive museums,
and a plethora of dining
choices.
As expected for such
giant events, there were
glitches. Registration
lines were sometimes an
hour and half of tedium,


It seems the West Coast guys drove to Charlotte and the East
Coasters came to Las Vegas as illustrated by this Gotta Have
It Green GT out of Frankfort, Kentucky. The combination is
mainly green, with some Roush trim, 1
1
2-inch lowering, and the
obligatory billet wheels.
We dont think anyone likes
turning 50, but nothing has
looked this good at 50 since
Raquel Welch (sorry, KJ), so
the Mustang was deserving
of a cake. We didnt stick
around long enough to get a
piece. No one seemed in too
much of a hurry to cut a cake
such as this, signifying such
a momentus occasion.
Were not so sure about this
one, but to each his own.
Imagine living in a small town
with this paint scheme. It
would be worse than a GPS
tracking collar.
One car we recognized from
our King of the Street com-
petition was in the Shrader
Performance booth on the
Charlotte midway. Steve
Shrader is owner of both the
car and the company bearing
his name. Shrader Perfor-
mance specializes in modular
Mustangs, and his New Edge
continues to evolve. Steve
told us of big changes ahead
for the car, but was tight-
lipped on what those might
be. We can only imagine what
he has up his sleeve. Guess
well have to stay tuned.
Television cameras at Las
Vegas were mainly limited
to the local stations getting
coverage for the 5 oclock
news, but Hal Sperlich was
able to attract the video
crews with his stories of
bringing the Mustang to life.
Over in the 281 Motorsports booth, owner Ken Schafffer, an
ex-Navy SEAL, was showing this very cool Saleen Extreme.
Its wrapped with all the names of fallen special operations
members of late, sort of a rolling Vietnam Wall memorial for
this generations wars.
The rarest car at Las Vegas was the 62 Mustang I Roadster
concept car in Fords entrance display. Ironically its a Mustang
in name only and has nothing to do with what eventually be-
came the Mustang we know, but it did point towards a sportier
Ford image. The car is amazingly small and low in person. Its
on permanent display at The Henry Ford museum in Dearborn,
Michigan, so it was a rare treat indeed for West Coasters.
Four generations of Mustangs
separate Hal Sperlich at left
and Hau Thai-Tang at right,
but they might as well have
been brothers at the 50th
Anniversary. Both men are
or were Ford vice presidents
and both were instrumental
in Mustang development.
Sperlich was the original
Mustang program manager,
and Thai-Tang was the 05
Mustang chief engineer.
Sperlich went on with Lee
Iacocca to save Chrysler
by inventing the garage-
able mini-van; Thai-Tang is
currently Ford Group vice
president in charge of Global
Purchasing with a $90 billion
checkbook in his hip pocket.
Understandably, Hals wife,
Dee Ann, looks on approv-
ingly.
Open-track action at Las Vegas was plentiful, but not crowded.
Participants were overwhelmingly mounted in late-model rides,
with Boss 302 and GT500s prevailing. In another sign of the
times, the GT500 crowd from the bay area brought their own
detailerDerek Lay of Alpha Auto Detailingso the cars would
never get too dirty.
Here is a look under the
hood of the open-track Boss
302a black Vortech cen-
trifugal. Wheel blowers are
perfect for open tracking,
where their lack of induction
heat and easier-to-drive top-
end power are big advantages
over positive displacement
blowers. This one is Mike
Evans with a JBA/Vortech kit.
As one can see, Gary Fisher
uses his 00 Cobra R as it
was intended by John Colleti
and the Special Vehicle Team.
Garys R was built by Kenny
Brown Performance as a
CSR-OT (Open Track) back
in 2004; at Charlotte, he
was putting that technol-
ogy to good use. We tried
to organize a dyno test of
rare Mustangs at Charlotte,
and wanted to include Garys
Cobra R in that competition,
but rain Friday night and
Saturday kept that from go-

90 5.0 SEPTEMBER 2014
MUSTANGS 50TH BIRTHDAY
and many of the details
on opening day had
gone unrehearsed. But
the pleasantly enthu-
siastic MCA volunteer
organization improved
with experience, and
the big stuff was in
place from the get-go.
Frankly, we would have
been surprised if this
immense celebration
spanning the entire U.S.
ran like an oiled main
bearing. It was a huge
enterprise, and one that
only need run once
each generation.
The vibe throughout
the speedway grounds
was unhurried. With
so much room, there
certainly was no crowd-
ing and none of the
hurry-it-up sense you
can get at more-com-
pact venues. Outside,
in the huge parking
lot, couples and groups


On Friday night of the Charlotte event, organizers attempted
to set a Guinness Book of World Records mark for the largest
number of cars in one cruise. The staging area was over at zMax
Dragway, across the street from Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This shot was taken just minutes before the skies opened up,
and they didnt close again until Sunday morning.
Mike Maier and Chuck
Schwinoch at Maximum
Motorsports are friends,
and they decided to share
some expenses at the 50th
by splitting a booth. Maier
seemed to handle the early
cars and Maximum took care
of the late-models.
About the only thing you can
do at a rainy track is get in
a Mustang, flick her around,
and do some drifting. Thats
exactly what Vaughn Gittin
Jr. did on Saturday. Even
with the rain, Vaughn said,
The show must go on, and
proceeded to give the fans
what they wanted. Of course,
Vaughn also had a couple
RTR Stangs at Charlotte,
and fellow drifter Ryan
Tuerck was on hand to show
the crowd how tandem drift-
ing is done. Cruise over to
mustang-360.com to watch
the video.
Craig Denson of Bend,
Oregon, was liking the Recaro
GT500 seats as an upgrade
for his 347-powered 94
GTuntil we pointed out
they were OEM-only and the
aftermarket Recaros were on
the other side of the booth.
We sounded like experts, but
in reality we had just heard
the
gal
from
Reca-
ro tell
the
same
to an-
other
cus-
tomer.
Craig
also
has 67, 69, and 70 Mus-
tangs.
This is where we hoped to be Saturday morning for our dyno
test of rare Mustangs at Charlotte, but Fridays rain spilled over
into Saturday to spoil our plans. Pro Dyno was all set to help us
see what a Cobra R, a Saleen SC, and other rare Mustangs would
put down. Alas, that idea will have to wait for another day. Well
see the guys from Pro Dyno at Mustang Week for our Battle at
the Beach dyno competition.
92 5.0 SEPTEMBER 2014
MUSTANGS 50TH BIRTHDAY
leisurely eyeballed the
impressive spread of
Mustangs arrayed in
the order they drove in
the gate.
Of course, the mix
was bar-belled with
early classics at one end
and the current crop of
late-models at the other.
But well admit a little
surprise at the realiza-
tion of just how many
Mustangs Ford must
have sold in the last de-
cade, as legions of S197s
were found throughout.
These ranged from daily
driver sixes to exten-
sively modified GT500s,
and there was no lack
of any of them. There
were also a good rep-
resentation of Mustang
IIsalways a rarity.
A bit around the
corner from the main
show entrance, the
open-track crew was
somewhat in their own

f the obvious in-
ternational pres-
ence at the 50th
party, the Mustang
Club of France was
the most visible. How?
They all wore a white
uniform shirt with the
club logo on it, and
there were approxi-
mately 400 of them
on site (200 members
world. Here the S197s
held near total domina-
tion, with squadrons of
Boss 302s, GT500s, and
the odd Boss 302S or R
highlighting the track
prowess the modern
Mustang enjoys. The
few classics on hand
were, as expected,
all-out race cars or
dedicated track toys
trailered in for their bit
of noisy fun.
Finally, as a joke in
Las Vegas, everyone
could be heard saying
they werent going to
attend the 100-year
anniversarybut it
wasnt because they
didnt want to! At the
Charlotte event, people
expressed the hope they
would be around for the
75th.
It was good to catch up with our old friend Dutch at the Baer
booth in the impressive manufacturers midway. Here hes
chatting up a GT500 conversion system with Kerry Tuck of
Vancouver, Washington. Kerry was thinking of a two-piece rotor
option for the upgrade to his GT350. Why she had to carry both
goodie bags remains a mystery, though.

they arranged their rental Mustangs in a

Taking full advantage of the touring
opportunities, the French club had been
touring a week prior to the celebration,
hitting Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon,
and Bryce and Zion National Parks. They
went on to do more of the same the

The only part of the car not destroyed was

that bar. It (and the seat belt) saved his life.

I purchased a roll bar from you a couple years back, and installed it in my
95 convertible. Last weekend, my 17-year-old son missed a corner and ended
up in the bottom of a canyon, 200 feet below the road. The car must
have rolled 10 times side over side, end over end. He took
a pretty good knock to the head, but should make a
full recovery. Thanks so much to Maximum
Motorsports for making a quality product
(and a quality installation kit)! Dave D.

87-93 Replacement
Headlights and Taillights
Y
our editors recent
acquisition of
a very clean,
black-on-black, 5.0L/
five-speed 90 Mustang
coupe set the stage
for this months Tech
Inspection. Addressing
one particular problem
(of the very few issues
the car has) presents
a great opportunity to
detail a tried-and-true,
do-it-yourself repair
that almost all 87-93
Mustangs need at some
pointreplacing bro-
ken, missing, or cloudy
headlight and taillight
assemblies.
The exception is
the small percentage
of ultra-pristine Fox
Stangs that are still in
existence (you know
the super-low-miles LXs
and GTs [we recently
saw a 92 GT with 26K
on the odometer] that
have languished in
Our 5.0 Mustang & Super
Fords banner hangs proudly
on the wall at Gear Driven
Automotive, which is based
in Northridge, California. The
new Mustang performance-
and-restoration laboratory is
home to our good friend Saul
The Surgeon Gutierrez.
Saul will be helping us with
the upgrades on our latest
acquisition, a 90 LX coupe.
It will be featured in a series
that will appear exclusively
on our Mustang 360
Network supersite
mustang-360.com.
Here is just half of the reason were performing a full light
replacement on our coupe. Faded, damaged taillight lenses
and housings like this are pretty common for older Ponies,
especially those that have been in regular/daily service since
they were purchased.
Starting in the front, Saul unplugs the bulbs from their hous-
ings, then removes the Stangs original headlights, inside
marker lamps, and corner-light assemblies. A
7
16-inch wrench
and socket are used to remove the nuts that secure these
pieces. Extraction starts with the corners, followed by the
headlamps and marker lights.
SO ITS MORE LIKELY
THAT THE STANG YOURE
PUSHING IS READY FOR NEW
FRONT AND/OR REAR LAMPS,
JUST LIKE OUR NEW COUPE.

storage for more than 20 years and are
now beginning to pop up in online classi-
fied ads for just as much as they cost when
they were on showroom floors). So its
more likely that the Stang youre pushing
is ready for new front and/or rear lamps,
just like our new coupe.
AmericanMuscle.com has the simple fix
for this problem; OEM-style replacement
headlight (PN 94324; $84.99) and taillight
(PN 49319; $214.99) sets. These bolt in and
immediately improve an 87-93 Stangs
exterior appearance, as well as increase
illumination and visibility, which is impor-
tant for drivers and fellow motorists alike.
Veteran readers remember the name
Saul The Surgeon Gutierrez. In addition
to being the lead wrench in our 86 T-top
coupe build, Saul has provided his skill
and late-model Stang expertise to many a
5.0 project. Well, The Surgeon now has a
new operating roomhis very own, called
Gear Driven Automotive, in Northridge,
California.
While the remove/replace procedures
for the light assemblies can be handled by
The stock headlights are attached to plastic
mounting housings that must be reused. A small flat
screwdriver is used to gently pry away locking clips
and separate the lights from their frames.
After reinstalling the factory weatherstrips around
each headlight, Saul installs the new front-light
pieces in reverse order of the originals removal.
(If your weatherstrips are beyond reuse, American
Muscle offers replacements [PN 94323; $24.99].)
Note that the lights should be adjusted for proper
alignment before theyre secured for good. Due to
the very tight space up top, the lower nut for the
driver-side marker lamp is the only fastener that
must be tightened from below.
This photo shows the dramatic difference between
our LXs well-aged front lights (right) and the new
pieces that are included in American Muscles six-
piece, OEM-style headlights set (PN 94324; $84.99).
Note the strip of grey silicone running across the
top of the stock headlamp. We believe it may have
been added by the Stangs previous owner, possibly
to prevent water from leaking through a crack in the
headlight lens.
almost any novice mechanic, were thank-
ful to Saul for his great assistance with the
process, which enabled us to capture these
photos detailing the process.
TECH INSPECTION

Replacing taillights is also an easy procedure, which
again requires only a
7
16-inch wrench or socket/
ratchet combination. After removing the trunks
rear-panel trim, disconnecting bulbs and removing
the nuts that secure each tail light, Saul installs the
new replacements (PN 49319; $284.99).
Taillight installation really is a pop-em-in process.
All of the light assemblies are made with studs that
are in the correct position, and fit cleanly without
modifications.
Our Stangs future definitely is a lot brighter with
the new headlights, and weve got several more
restorative upgrades planned for the latest Pony to
hit KJs driveway. Be sure to follow the series online

Q&A QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

WEEKEND FUN
Q
I have owned a 00 GT since 2001, but
the car has been sitting for three years
collecting dust. Im trying to modify it, but
I want something reliable. I dont want to
blow the engine. Its not a daily driver. The
car has 70k and an automatic. My budget is
$5,000 ... and go.

SOUND ADVICE
Q
What would you recommend as the
most aggressive-sounding axle-back
exhaust for an 11 Mustang 5.0 ... both
for a person going all out, and also on
a budget?
Dave Cruz
Melbourne, FL
A
More and more shows have an
exhaust rapping contest of some
sort, especially if said event is void of a
dragstrip or open-track venue. It seems
to draw a crowd at each venue weve
supported, so there is a market for loud
exhausts.
Most exhaust manufacturers have an
aggressive muffler, just like they have
a street design thats designed to pro-
vide quieter operation. Generally, every
exhaust manufacturer offers two to three
different muffler designs to meet the
demands of all customers. That way, if
someone wants a more discreet muffler,
the company has one. Or for someone
who wants an aggressive-sounding muf-
fler, that is available as well. And note
that most manufacturers have different
price points for their muffler designs.
While every manufacturer has an
aggressive sounding axle-back for your
11 Mustang GT, you have to decide
what sound you want. Thankfully, most
of the exhaust manufacturers have
YouTube channels to help.
Besides mufflers, you need a pair
of long-tube headers and an off-road
H-pipe or X-shape crossover pipe. All the
above will make sure your GT is heard
and seen wherever you go. 5.0

Send us the $5,000 and youll still have a
reliable 00 GT. Seriously though, luckily
for you all of the entry-level blower kits are
under $5,000.
We looked at Vortech, Paxton,
ProCharger, and Kenne Bell kits for a stock
99-04 Mustang GT, and all are available for
under $5,000. However, that doesnt include
labor, so hopefully youre handy with tools
or have friends to maybe pitch in on the
install.
If kept at boost levels from 7 to 9 pounds
and the tune is right, these kits wont reduce
the life of your engine or make it any less
reliable. Furthermore, any of these kits are
sure to put a smile on your face for weekend
drives.

+WE DONT KNOW HOW MUCH FURTHER YOU CAN GO. IT HAS A 347 STROKER UNDER THE HOOD...
Making Progress
To us, it looks like Ryan Schemas 91 GT is
almost done. However, Ryan says, I still have a
long way to go. We dont know how much further
you can go. It has a 347 stroker under the hood, with
Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads and RPM II intake, Comp
Cams valvetrain, BBK Performance headers, and a
Flowmaster after-cat exhaust. Behind the stroker is
an Astro Performance A5 transmission, and to help
slow the go, there is a five-lug Cobra brake conver-
sion behind 94-95 GT 17-inch wheels. 5.0

Fifth Saleen
Tim Preston from Greenbriar, Tennessee, pur-
chased this 00 Saleen S281 in 2013 from the second
owner with just 21,000 miles on it. This is the fifth
Saleen Ive owned, and by far the closest to new out
of all of them, Tim says. It still smells new inside,
he adds. Tim tells us the only extra Saleen options
on the car appear to be 3.55 gears, floormats, and the
10-inch rear wheels. The second owner replaced the
cars original treads with the correct Pirelli P-Zero
tires from Saleen. Tim says he has the receipts for
the tires and every stitch of paperwork since the car
was new, including the window sticker. However,
the car is slightly modified, with an off-road X-shape
crossover pipe, 02 Mustang hoodscoop, a grille
delete, and an MGW shifter with a Bullitt knob.
TIM SAYS HE HAS THE RECEIPTS FOR THE TIRES
AND EVERY STITCH OF PAPERWORK SINCE THE CAR
WAS NEW, INCLUDING THE WINDOW STICKER.
White Unseen
Larry Hamlin, master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, recently served a tour in Afganistan. He had been without a Mustang for a bit
after selling his 96 Mystic Cobra, but his search for another intensified during his off time while in-country. He looked at 03-04 Cobras,
New Edge Mustangs, S197 Saleens, and even a few Foxes before arriving at this 12 GT. He found it online in Texas, which also made
it somewhat easier since hes stationed at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas, as of this writing. Our boy Joe Cram checked it out
since the car was in Houston. Once he gave the car his approval, Larry bought the car sight unseen. The GT has a Boss intake, a JLT
Performance oil separator, American Racing Headers long-tubes, Borla Stinger axle-back, an MGW shifter, and an SCT tune. Since Larry
likes the curves, the car is outfitted with Eibach Pro Kit springs, Koni shocks and struts, and Whiteline Racing sway bars. Larry wanted
visual appeal as well, and to that end, the GT boasts Niche wheels wrapped in Falken FK452s up front and Michelin Pilot Super Sports
out back, a Saleen grille, and an HID conversion.

BOTM BABE OF THE MONTH
TYLER
Are you BOTM material?
W
eve never met
a girl named
Tyler. This
months BOTM Tyler
Mims says she hears
that a lot since its
more of a dudes name.
However, as you can
see, this Tyler is defi-
nitely not a dude.
Unfortunately, the
Mustangs shes pos-
ing with arent hers,
which would add to
her hotness factor.
Nonetheless, it mat-
ters little if these
Mustangs are hers or
noyou may not have
even noticed there
are Mustangs in these
photos.
For those who did,
the 13 GT is owned by
her boyfriend, Dillon
Kingsburgh; the other
Mustang is a Roush-
appointed 14 GT
owned by Latemodel
Restoration.com.
Dillons GT boasts
a cold air intake, a
custom tune, and low-
ering springs, while
Latemodel Restoration
basically built a Roush
Stage 3 tribute from
a box-stock 14 GT.
Check it out on the
companys website.
Modeling and
Mustangs are two of
my favorite things,
Tyler says. And she
notes that while she
doesnt have her own
Mustang yet, shes
wanted one since
she was a little girl.
Thankfully for her,
those close to her, like
her boyfriend, have
Mustangs to help get
her fix. She enjoys
going to Mustang
shows with Dillon,
working out at the
gym, participating in
running events, and
riding dirt bikes. Nice
catch, Dillon.
