To start off with electronics i will be installing two Sundown audio SA-12's, these are a competition grade sub woofer that are not only loud, but crisp. These subs have been known to shatter windows and make nuts and bolts come loose. The sundown audio SA-12's run at a 600 watt rms, or continuous power. usually you want to match your amplifier with the brand of sub and also the watts of rms the sub runs at. This is provides the sub with a longer lifetime, and matching brands is always important in that every companies rms rating is different.

Now to install these its more time consuming then dificult, first i would recomend laying wires out and figuring out the best way to run/hide them. After you have figured out the easiest way to run and hide the wires, cut them all to the length desired. Once cut to length, you should run and hide all your wires make sure to leave the possitive wire off of the positive battery terminal to avoid shock. For now just apply the negative or ground wire, after that is done you can now install the RCA cables into the back of your radio, there should be a yellow and red AUX plug in, now that all of that is taken care of tap into somewhere that gets a constant power. Run that straight to your amplifier, connect that asap so you do not short it out. You can also connect the rest of the wires. By now you should have mounted your amp in a safe steady spot, and should also fasten the wires down so they will not get pulled out our be in contact with any metal. Once you have this complete you should have speaker wire running from the amp into the subwoofer box, and connect those to the subwoofer. Once this is complete you should turn the bass all the way down on the amp and turn your radio to an appropriate loudness. Tunning the subwoofer will be time consuming depending on your taste, wether you would like it to sound crisp or loud.  You should be done with installation, now its time to go show it off to your friends and set some car alarms off.

For this post it will be more pictures then words to explain. This is what body accesories i will have on it when im done (everything will be black).

Cold Air Intake & Tuner

I would like to start this post off with the tuner; The SCT ISTX wireless tuner allows you to do anything imaginable with a tuner, and is built for your year and comes with custom tuning. i will list below the specs of this amazing tuner.

 To install the Cold air intake i will first have to remove the front bumper and grill, along with the core support old air intake setup along with a cross bar. Now for the dificult part, install, you will first bend all piping acording to cold air intake plans, and where you would like to place it. some people prefer to leave it turned of at a 45 degree angle. Personaly  i would like to get the best for my money, and this is why i will have to tear apart my front bumper, grill, core supportt, and cross bar. To bend it to get an 80 degree down will be alot of work and custom fabrication. Most of it will be mounting and bending everything else comes as a kit. With having it bent down on a 80 degree i can reach a cooler air to gas flow ratio which can save me gas and also horsepower. Along with the cold air intake i will  also install the tuner which simply suction cups or sticks to your dashboard, then you plug the cord into your cars port. The tuner should turn on and have a welcome screen; it will give you step by step directions for instalation.

Now onto the cold air intake, this a crucial part in have a moded engine, none the less a engine that will be pushed for its power. Keeping cool helps engines last, this keeps the cyclinder walls and cylinders from expanding to much or if they do expand it shrinks them back to appropriate size. It does more then just that it cools the complete engine and brings cool air into the fuel lines also.This is the cold air intake i will be instaling, specs will be following the picture.

Steeda Black High Velocity Pro-Flow Cold Air Intake Kit for 2005-2009 Mustang GTs.

Steeda's new Cold Air Kit for the S197 produces the greatest power gains of any Cold Air Kit on the market. Testing has shown increases of up to 38 HP and 30 ft lbs of torque to the rear wheels with Steeda's Cold Air Kit combined with our Custom SCT Tune.

The big news here is that Steeda has streamlined the airflow in the S197 Mustang to the point that a computer re-flash isn't just an option, it's required! Check out the SCT XCalibrator 3 - the perfect tool for the job with Custom Tunes!

The kit is supplied with a stainless steel air box with built-in velocity stack and a 90mm mass air housing. It mounts in the factory location with the supplied rubber trim to seal it against the hood & fender to keep the hot air out . Our tests showed inlet temps a mere 5 degrees above ambient temperature. The Steeda Lifetime Filter can easily be cleaned and re-oiled, making maintenance a snap. All hardware required for installation is included in the kit.

Get the Kit: Steeda's all new complete Cold Air Intake system replaces everything from the throttle body forward. Now available together for one low price.

exhaust

After i install the supercharger i will need an exhaust, if you do not install an exhaust after installing aftermarket parts for your engine it could blow. The reasoning behind this aftermarket parts put more pressure on the engine, especially turbo or superchargers. This is because turbos and superchargers produce boost which is pressure to give you more power and speed, if you do not modify other parts on your car it could be too much stress and blow the engine. Depending on how much the supercharger or turbo put out, you might have to buy forged engine, or new pistons. This can cost money but also will help you with power. So back to the real meaning of this blog post, I will be installing a Borla cat back polished chrome exhaust with black tips. Also even an exhaust can add a few horses to your mustang, but by now you shouldn't need much more.

he very first things i would like to do to my car would not be appearance, but performance. I will be buying the Kenne Bell Mamoth 775 rwhp supercharger, along with a new cooling system, and also a tuner. The installation of the supercharger will take maybe a day or two; along with the cooling system. To  install the Kenne Bell supercharger kit You will have to pretty much tear off the whole front end, because you have to install the supercharge, injectors, the intake manifold, and the cold air intake with the 89° down pipe. The install won’t be hard itself, it’s just going to be very time consuming to position everything where it is supposed to be. Once you pull your front bumper valance radiator and the OEM air filter, then replace it with the new cold air intake run it down to the front corner of the valance. To apple the supercharger replace the engine cover with the supercharger, bolt it down and swap the intake manifold. You now can put the finish touches on, putting the pulleys and belts on, and don't forget to tune it with the Kenne Bell pre tune after this you are all ready to go rip your 775 rwhp mustang gt, not to mention this car will be pushing more rwhp than your average corvette.

Here are some pictures of the supercharger and a dyno run:


 

Introduction

This blog is going to about me (CJ) pretty much building from ground up a 2006 ford Mustang GT. The 2006 Mustang GT is a 4.6L V8. I chose to get the mustang GT because it is the V8 which makes it somewhat fast from the factory. The mustang GT comes stock with about 300 rwhp (Rear Wheel Horsepower) which is pretty good (considering a corvette comes with about 400rwhp). My hope with this project is to get the car to be pushing more then 600 rwhp, yes this is going to take some time and alot of money, but money well spent.I plan on making this car different from anyother mustang gt out their. A big part of my life is being different, and finding new things. And what im about to do to this car will make it one of a kind, it will be turning heads all over.
