I'm on the same path. I did a bunch of Steeda upgrades to get rid of the wheel hop. Running ProFlex Commander so can run E85. Got it Dynoed with that: Stock, no tune, E85. It puts down 472 hp, 380 torque. The E85 is noticeable on those lower RPMs. I also track it so wanted to run cooler. I think I also ruled out JLT (my tuner said it doesn't make much of a difference). I'm thinking next carbon fiber driveshaft, Kooks LTH and exhaust (keep the stock mufflers), E85 protune. I'd sell the ProFlex and prob stay there for awhile... My tuner said Procharger is the way to go with this car. I have a buddy putting around 750 down with his. We'll see if I want more power in the future.. But honestly wanna keep it a track monster so don't wanna to do too much power gains that it spins like crazy. Also gonna get a track set of wheels, run the R spec. 11" + 11.5" still debaiting which wheels. Leaning towards Apex or Signature right now.. Definitely want the most weight savings without spending carbon prices.
500 rwhp might be a sweet spot for the 350,pretty sure bolt-ons won't get you there,also considering changing emissions laws...no biggie if you're"track only",but i'd hate to have a 350 that i couldn't drive on the street...catless headers not on my radar(elephant in the rooma 4yr old hard driven engine that has to endure forced induction)your engine enternals are meshed and matched to each other by now...you'll never have enough power,but your current set-up is ideal for "HPDE",you're a talented driver,but pairing up with an instructor could bring your natural skills to another level.(just my opinion)
Hey Rickey check out some of the rims Shelby American ( las vegas)have when my tires are done on my gt 350 going to get some of theres very very nice very classy man great video as always!
Hey buddy just found your channel a couple days ago best videos ever love the car and the way u drive it I have had hot rods my whole life I am 48 now if I was u leave that car stock u got 500 horsepower and a great tremec six speed super reliable hot rod u can beat on for years to come if u gonna start modeing a car get an older 5.0 and just mod the heck out of it you will lose reliability with mods no matter what everyone tells u
Don't know where your located but look up Palm Beach Dyno, they are in Florida. Those guys specialize in GT350 and 500's. They know what they are doing. Me I live in Cali so I can't to Shit to my GT350 unless I want to put it back to stock every time I have to get a smog check. I got the same year GT350 as you, also remember to pay CLOSE attention to your oil level, 2015 -2017 GT350's have the Gen1 Voodoo block, they are known to consume (burn up) alot of oil at high RPM's. Good looking car you have, love the red.
The funny thing, option one on my list that I read was palm beach dyno lol..they do great work and I would let them build my car when the funds is right..I’m in NY so I’m good with whatever I want to do to it
My advice, grab a used Whipple, throw on a 10-rib and be done with it.. Most cost effective performance and smiles per mile, as value seemed to be your major point of comparison. The Voodoo does love turbos, so if you're going that way on a budget I'd say take a look at Hellhorse's newly designed kit with actual headers. Seems solid and I haven't seen word of the issues the first design had. Hellion is fine, but for the money I want real manifolds.. Not adapters. They make power, but when you have the Hellhorse kit available, I don't see why you'd spend more to get less? If you want a solid Twin Turbo kit that may even rival the quality of the one you chose not to name.. Aldowelds is the way, IMO. You don't need a 30k turbo kit with a MoTeC to run fast.. Lots of content on his kit out there. Regarding some of the other options you mentioned.. The JLT intake and some of the others where you were sticking on peak power.. Those comments had me saying look at power throughout the curve. It's not always about peak power. That being said, stock airbox is fine with the ford performance filter. Personally, E85 tune, resonator delete, and free flowing exhaust if you must.. is about where I'd stop performance wise N/A. I'd throw in an MGW with Blowfish Racing brace and if you wanna go extreme, the 4.09 gears in the back. You got suspension covered. Back to the company you're choosing not to name with all the videos.. They've had the manual GT350 record for some time and posted videos of the car back in like 2019.. I think they have videos of the one that went 9.0 and I know I've seen the videos of one going 8.6 @ 161. Regarding the lack of content, I don't think it's them.. I think it's the people paying all that for those kits. They just don't seem to be the drag racing type.. Or at least the drag racing AND recording type.. as we can conclude by the lack of media content.
Nice info bro..I had no clue what the hell was a blowfish racing brace, again I’m new to the stang game..I had to research it, it’s something I’ll definitely look into. I wanted to do the MGW shifter but after hearing mix feedback I was a little skeptical but I’m still thinking about it. I’m glad you figured out what company I was talking about with the fancy turbo kits lol. I’ll look into the other turbo kits/mods you mentioned. Thanks for your feedback bro
Hey Ricky, u are Exactly right about those setup!! They are not worth it for amount of money u have to spend, that one reason my car as not been touch, I going with a 3.0 Whipple supercharger, as you know gt350 is low on torque side, and with that Whipple it will add easy 200+ to the wheels and 300+ to the crank ,and my opinion the Whipple is a perfect fit because it fills in those empty spaces, at 8200 rpm + 300 more hp it will be a handful, I looking to spend $14000, on this setup and trust me I don't have the money neither but l am half way there 😉 ( that includes oil pump gears and sprocket)
The first mod before all this should be a front plate delete lol. The cops would be so distracted by how good the front end looks they'll forget to pull you over 😉
Hey Ricky.. you did a lot of research on your options.. My opinion, just mine. She is not a “Straight Line” Girl.. The mods you did to the suspension were on par with performance gains. The gains for the cost of your options are negligible for what the car was built to do.. Your money, your decision. Looking forward to whatever you decide to do! 👍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍. Best Regards! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience! 👍
Personally, I love the Voodoo engine and I don't think it needs to be boosted. Exhaust/headers/intake sound great, though I would start with lighter wheels first.
im full bolt on and car dyno at 530 whp @7400.. and i love it

Sorry I skipped the whole video just wanted to see you drive the damn thing 😂😂😂
Lol 😂 I wanted to but it was 95 degrees that day didn’t want to abuse the car, plus I have a track day coming up

I’m glad you see my point. I really don’t want to start any major build until I pay off the car. Good luck with the build
The first mod before all this should be a front plate delete lol. The cops would be so distracted by how good the front end looks they'll forget to pull you over 😉
Lol. Taking off my front plate is a invitation for the cops to pull me over, it happened before with my other cars
@@bannerrj41 Dang, that sucks. But on a different note, cant wait to see what you do with the car, whatever and whenever that is.

Nooo to twin vpm odin and you'll be happpy
Nah bro, I love twins 👯♀️ lol 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Lighter wheels are my next major mod once the funds are right. This pandemic really hurt my pockets
@@bannerrj41
Yea, it hurt a lot of people. Hope you get back up to speed soon. What wheels are you looking at?
@@bannerrj41 I've got a set of NIB Signature wheels that would look incredible on your Shelby! You'll save a bunch of money, hit me up.
@RV H
I was looking into BC racing wheels
@JL 52L
I was looking into signature wheels but everybody have them. I was thinking of BC racing. I have a friend in Florida who’s a dealer for them
