HEY MAN I HAVE A QUESTION HOW MUCH POWER CAN A STOCK 5.4 HANDLE SAFELY.I HAVE A GT500 AND 08 AND A 07 CONVERTABLE SUPERSNAKE AND MY 10 SUPERSNAKE.
YAH MAN THE TQ ON MY SHELBYS ARE JUST INSTANT.
WHAT IS THE EXHAUST SET UP.
Post more 2005-2009 mustang videos !!!!!!
Sweet ride, 660+whp is a fun time. It’s the perfect amount for the street once he gets a good tire. I need to get back out and revisit the new shop.
JD JoyrideTV thanks I’ve been watching your videos over and over again love your toy and yes this is my Shelby in the video
Michael Donahue awesome ride...I’m jealous you got a white Shelby. Best color. Your car is in good hands AM will take good care of you.
it is indeed . we have similar rides . but i only make 743 hp i know your 900ish .
Thanks JD- would love to show you around the new space. -Justin
AmericanMuscle.com do it JD that place is incredible my eyes almost fell out of my head lol
Man Justin it seems like you were having too much fun with that car. Your laugh is contagious hahaha. Awesome job.
Thanks Brian- and I was! This thing was an ANIMAL. :) -Justin
I love these earlier S197 GT500's.. They look so good.
Sigrafix yea and everyone on UA-cam getting the newer ones are making those more common
@@davidmartin2231 I think these things will be modern classics soon and we could see the prices going up.. I wish I could get one Lol.. right now you can get a used one for right under 30k.. not a bad deal, I love them.
Sigrafix they are worth every penny
I have one just like this one.
Sigrafix I just got one 45k miles $23,000
Love seeing 07-09 shelby modification videos!
See? money does buy happiness! Look at that boy smile lol.
9:34 that feeling of new power added is so awesome
I wish Santa was real, I'd be asking him for a Shelby like this!
Nice👍
You mean, HE'S NOT!?!?!?!?! :*( -Justin
Relax guys it’s my car it ran out of fuel American muscle got the most out of the fuel system safely that they could e85 isn’t easy for me to get in south jersey don’t sweat it I already have smaller pulley this winter the fuel system will be taken care of and I’ll post a video thanks again to turn5, American Muscle, Lund, VMP, and JLP
Hey Michael, Thank you again for sharing your awesome GT500 with us and letting us work on it!
You mean JLT..😉
Sweet machine man! Always been a dream car of mine, would love the same year in black with red stripes.
Arturo Aguilar no I think it came that way don’t know bought the car 100% stock with 11 thousand miles on it I’m guessing it’s a factory setup
Nice ride!
This was awesome! Really nice car!
As a GT500 owner I love the video. Keep them coming!!
Will do Stacey! -Justin
I'm itching for one of those on my 08 GT 500! Nice video!
Need to ditch the stock wheels and get some tires that will make it actually hook up now!
I have 555rwhp in my 07 GT500 and I think that is insane, so I can't imagine 660! These things are so fun
This car is a blast. I'm jealous! -Justin
These are the BEST videos. Keep em coming👍👍👍
Thanks Jay! -Justin
I have a 2011 and a 2007 GT500, but my 07’ looks just like this. I may have to throw some headers on there to make it sound this good! Wow!
That’s a good time, the sound is the icing on top.
solid numbers for pump gas! I bet on E85 and a few extra PSI that thing would crack 750rwhp no sweat. I made 618rwhp wtih my Whipple Cobra on 91 pump and made 713rwhp on E85.
James Chantry my next move is a fuel system
Gotta love a supercharged car! Especially when it’s a Shelby! Mine doesn’t have the Shelby title, but SVT of course stands out💪🏽
#TerminatorCobra
That triple pass heat exchanger is the truth !!!
WOW… The Sleeper has awoken!
Great job here. What a beautiful car - just about perfect.
Love it!
After watching a handful of these videos.
I might have to move on from my 2010’ Whipple GT. These cars have such cool front ends and color schemes.
Thanks for watching! -Zach
I wish I lived close to you guys. Would love to have you work on my 2014 GT.
Love the car!!! Great video guys! Keep cranking them out!
Layron Doyal thanks
I'm super fond of this year of the GT500. Gonna keep my eyes pealed for one!@@michaeldonahue
Damnnnn, now I have a fever to build my Shelby
Justin, great video and nice editing job guys! Never got bored and as always I wanted to see Justin beat on this thing some!!!! It’s hard to tell someone that they only gained a little over a 100hp when they just spent $5g’s!!! But look, you can’t hold all that low end torque that 5.4 makes. They are lots of fun and I would love to have one in my garage!!!
Scott- you are too kind sir. I'll let the boys in edit know their work is being appreciated (they don't hear it nearly enough). Thanks again for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video! -Justin
Scott Sigmon thanks for the post ! My fault I thought the fuel system would go farther then it did ... winter project fuel system, tires, gears 👍
Thats one of the best looking cars
I cant express how in love i am with both terminators and gt500s 07-14. Some act like these are far inferior to 13-14 because they have alot less hp stock but its just more restricted stock once the same blowers both cars with similar supporting mods power is comparable and i am not a big fan of early s197 gts but for some reason the gt500 in that style is amazing to me its the little subtle things theyre just such sick cars....two things i like about the 5.4 or the 5.8 over.the coyote...
1. It sounds way better and more pissed off
2. It has way more torque by comparison. The 5.4 normally has aroumd 100 or more torque above what a coyote would have in a similar hp range. It has it further down low too so it has a more old school big block muscle type feeling. Nothing wrong with a coyote theyre amazing but these gt500s have my heart all around and the early ones like this can be had for low to middle 20s real clean with low miles i think im gonna get one when it comes time in a year or so. Love em
Thanks for the comment Michael and I couldn't agree more. The S197 GT500's are absolute brutes with a ton of untapped potential. Thanks again for watching! -Justin
I WILL SAY THIS OUT OF ALL 4 SHELBYS I OWN MY 08 GT500 IS MY FAVORITE. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM BOB TASCA AND IT WAS HIS SON DAVID CAR AND HE HAD HIS DEALERSHIP PUT ON EVERY FORD RACING PART AVAILABLE AND IT HAS ROUGHLY 850HP AND IT RUNS AND DRIVES ALMOST ON THE LEVEL OF MY 07 AND 10 SUPERSNAKES. LOL AND TOO BE ALMOST ON THE LEVEL AS A SUPERSNAKE IS SAYING A LOT.ALSO MAN THERE GREAT CAR'S TOO OWN AND IF YOU WANT ONE YOU BETTER BUY ONE SOON BECAUSE THE PRICES ARE STARTING TO GO UP.YOU CAN BUY A REALLY LOW MILE ALL ORIGINAL VERSION NOW FOR 40 TOO 45 GRAND.I BOUGHT MY 08 WITH ONLY 2 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES ON IT AND A LOT ARE OUT THERE AND IF YOU BUY ONE TRY TO BUY A STOCK ORIGINAL VERSION.
Beautiful car !
Steve Hall thanks
My 09 gt500 is running the smallest pulley on the factory supercharger, it also has a lot of other upgrades that makes it a little hard to handle on the streets, I just finished installing the entire front suspension with bmr to match the rear suspension, I'm thinking is setup would be a good next step.
Awesome video. I just did this swap on my 2010 GT500. Made 10 less whp with the stock injectors and no BAP. Just curious, you mentioned that the metco idler pulley didn't "jive" well with the whipple. What size belt did you guys use for this swap?
I'll take more of these builds please.
What a beast! Whipple does it right baby. Love the video. I have an 03 Whipple Terminator Cobra with about the same power specs as the Whipple Shelby so I know how much fun these monsters can be!!
tominator it is fun to drive now! Working on the fuel system and drag wheel setup
@@michaeldonahue BTW, I'm a Jersey boy too! I hear ya about E85...almost non existent here! I supplement with Torco in my 93 premium gas.
tominator yeah blows right 😡. I have a smaller pulley, 410 gears already waiting in the garage just need to order the fuel system and wheels and tires maybe some Viking shocks 👍 come on spring lol
@@michaeldonahue I agree...winter sucks! Yeah, I have a 3 inch pulley on my whipple 2.3L with 3.73 gears. I hear Viking shocks are great. I'm running Bilstein B8 self-adjusting shocks/struts. They are a little stiff, but the trade off is great traction! Hope to meet up with you in summer bro! BTW, what type of fuel system are you getting?
I want it 😍😍😍
Nice i like that supercharger
Best video ever!!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Great great great project!!!!!! 🤘🍺👍👏😄 I have one, and want to do some upgrades! This video will definitely help!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching! -Justin
@@americanmuscle thanks. Great project, even if it was short.
John Lund is amazing tuner
Nice
Sammy Nunez thanks
Justin, you should have put your baby seat in the back for more traction. You already proved it works for your gen3.
Haha, good point! -Justin
That’s a shame you didn’t call me back. You all did the bolt on build up on my 08. I thought I woulda got a call from you when ready to add a blower to this build. That sucks
Looks like the mustang isn't the only thing bulking up, Justin putin work at the gym💪
I'm constantly fluctuating between being 'kind of in shape' and 'kind of out of shape'- this video must've happened during a good stretch...lol. Thanks Blue! -Justin
WHAT TIRES DO YOU HAVE INSTALLED ON THIS GT500?
man those flowmaster outlaws render my blower silent . his has all the range
Gopherchucks Games corsa extreme’s
im sold
Thanks for watching! -Zach
What corsa axle backs exactly?
Hey! Did you have TC turned off? What a beast! Smoken !
Its the only way to roll David. ;) -Justin
Burning money. You can make that power with the stock supercharger!
The people that think its only 100hp gain shouldn't even be car enthusiasts if they don't understand how good that 100 hp would feel.. and it's not just 100hp gain its bringing torque up and producing it earlier and making that old 550hp that it used to have alot sooner so if it was making 550 hp at 550hp 5800rpm its now making the 550 at. 3500rpm and that means it would feel like a completely different beasts and be well worth that 4000 💪🏽
Why not do a 96 98 svt cobra build
Have a 2007 GT500 with stock blower. Love the SC whine - can't tell in the vid but what changes if any to the *whine *?? Less? Same? Considering doing this upgrade but not if the whine is lessened.
Teneray Clarke I have 2007 GT500. I changed blower to 2.3 vmp. It whines less than stock one. Whines in higher rpms.
The whine itself is a sign of restriction so to speak so having a little less whine isnt a bad thing that means its more efficient. With that said if you pulley it down and have an open element filter and large intake, throttle body, etc there will be plenty of whine to be heard and they make a mod where you can pump in supercharger whine noise into the cabin where you can hear it better if thats what you want. I wouldn't choose blower upgrades or weather or not to do one based on how much whine it has lol.
Stock supercharger with smaller pulley and open element air filter gives best whine. Believe me I did that before going to bigger Vmp supercharger.
I'm truly impressed with just your last burn! Lmao
The cold air intake do they have those for 2004 Infiniti fx35 that fits?
No
5.4s sound absolutely ungodly and they do sound better than coyotes. That might piss some people off and that is fine. Coyotes can sound great too but these are just better. Ppl say the 3v sounds better they should get a load of the 5.4 4v it's like a 3v on steroids lol. God I love early gt500s they're so slept on.
just have one question, how do you all deal with the speeding tickets when going this fast??? XD
Who said I went over the speed limit? I just got there REALLY fast :) -Justin
Haha. I've got an 07 with a 2.3L ford racing blower, am racing long tubes, afco dual fan. Making 673hp 669 torque on 91 octane. Dont waste your money on a whipple. These cars like tvs blowers way better.
I made 655 hp 650 torque on 2008 with 2013 2.3 blower dual fan no headers though e85 next .
Brother where is your shop?
Anyone ballpark how much all of this together would cost? If the whipple itself is just under 4k (just assume it IS 4k) what would everything else cost on top of it?
And for those who don't understand; this js 662hp...TO THE WHEELS. Not base hp. These come with 500hp (about 434rwhp)...this one, if you do the math, is making a little north of 760hp to the flywheel.
How do I get a lund tune for my Supercharged 2016 GT?
Call or message them. They will ask you for a list of all your mods and you'll be able to get it tweaked by email
Can AM or the owner let know if the stock strut tower brace will fit with this Whipple? I like this setup but want to keep the strut tower brace. Thanks
Stock will not fit, however Steeda makes an option that will clear the Whipple. -Justin
@@americanmuscle Thanks Justin pretty sure this is the route I am going to buy with you guys. I just hope it retains the supercharger "whine" I did not hear any whine on the dyno or street in this video. You guys do a great job with these videos!
Oh man- the Whipple whines way harder than the stock Eaton! It was just hard to hear over the Corsa/Long Tube combo haha. Thanks for the kind words! -Justin
@@americanmuscle I'm sold! That and the strut was my only concerns. Justin I did see this video withe the strut bar in place was this a smaller Whipple? ua-cam.com/video/tczPmgGMS_Y/v-deo.html
what ever happened to kenne bell blowers? back in the 2000s kenne bell was popular but nowadays its all about whipple.
They're still very much around, we just don't sell 'em. (For reasons that are outside of my control) -Justin
Why didn’t I get a notification?
770 rwhp 07
If this video was 10 years old I would say awesome build but now with the hellcats and ZL1 Camaros running around not to mention 2018 GT Mustangs with 10 speed automatic and running on E85 with a tune 650 horse is not enough!
Sure it is. It’s basically already too much power to really be used on the street.
@@markevans658 tell me about it...modern cars are all about bragging rights with dyno numbers..."oh this car "only" makes 660 whp its not enough because joe blow has 800 whp on his car that cant hook on drag radials bellw 60 mph but by God the dyno sheet looks impressive!" Lol. Theres more to a car than peak hp. For example this car is north of 600 torque to the ground through most if not all the power band...that is one sweet powerband for the street and with some good tires could put in some work. Its capable of alot more once the fuel system is added. It kills me people acting like 660 wheel and north of 600 torque through the entire powerband isnt enough...its just stupid
what does all that cost?
sheikh saif supercharger was on sale , not going through my receipts I’m saying a little over $4500 ish. for the parts they installed in the video
Strange your video of the 2008 Shelby bolt on build didn’t even have the headers and made 581hp and 600tq. That’s way too much of a power difference for a Shelby to have 70tq more than one with headers.
I have the same car but still all stock maybe it's time for more power 😅
Where are u guys located.
We are just outside of Philadelphia, Pa. -Justin
AmericanMuscle.com damn, 13 hours away. Trying to find a shop I feel safe bringing my car to. Not some mom and pop local shop
Good thing American muscle gets support from Lund, because they suck when it comes to customer service.
Needs a smaller pulley and bigger throttle body.
Why didn't you guys tune it?
Because we don't tune. -Justin
@@americanmuscle oh i thought Bama was affiliated with american muscle , I rember watching some older videos where it looked like the same company
We worked with them exclusively for a few years but now we offer a number of tuning options- including Bama. -Justin
yOU SHOULD HAVE WEIGHED THE EXISTING AND THE REPLACEMENT HEAT EXCHANGERS. DO WE LOSE ANY WEIGHT???
Eh, if anything we added a bit due to the bigger blower and larger heat exchanger/fans. -Justin
@@americanmuscle Justin; I think there is a large silent section of the population who want to improve their car performance by reducing 300 or 400 pounds while maybe also adding another 100 hp. Not everyone thinks that a 3750 pound Mustang with 750 pounds is the best and most affordable option for the dollar..... So it is a question of does 3750lbs/750hp = 5.00 .... or ....3100lbs/600hp = 5.12 pounds per horsepower. Which option costs less? Which option will wear and tear less? American Muscle should investigate the ways and means of losing weight. Magnesium weighs 22% of steel. Aluminum weighs 35% of steel. I dream of a 6 cylinder Mustang that weighs 3000 pounds and has 600 horsepower ...from New Orleans , Merci Beaucoup.
I see what youre saying im all about weight reduction too but the cooling is def something you dont wanna be skimping on, you can get weight out of the car in a bunch of other ways losing 300+ lbs would not be hard at all on this car without going nuts with insane weight reduction stuff.
My 07 gt500 pretty much stock and traction is nonexistent up to 4th gear.
Now I really can't wait for the 720+hp 2019 GT500....
5.4 firing order is different than the 5.0. It's more akin to the Terminator sound from 2004. The 5.4 is so easy to make stupid torque.
Going to need to put a Watts link, coilovers, bracing, and stiffer bushings on that to hook.
Lifted_Above it has adjustable control arms upper and lower and I’m going to a drag wheel setup 👍. 410 gears and pulley are in the garage already , waiting for the return style fuel system and Viking shocks. Should be fun lol come on spring 🙏
@@michaeldonahue nah its slow it "only" has 660 whp....lol jk. Im mocking all these internet experts who think because joe blows car makes 800 wheel on a dyno sheet that somehow makes this less impressive. I love your car man its bad ass...a 660 wheel that whipple aint even sweating lol
That’s it?
D S 🤣🤣
D S more is coming after an fuel system upgrade 👍
1-14-19 R.I.P crowds and curbs. Demons aren’t the only thing venom kills.
Yawwwwnnnnn....
AmericanMuscle.com lmao I didn’t expect anyone to reply to this nonsense. I have a 13 gt so I’m just showing Ford fanboys can crack a joke or two.
So gay and unoriginal.
Traction control was an issue before your alls upgrades lol
there is 250 or more horses left in that thing
biggdaddy blade works I’m working on getting it out of it this winter ... thanks
Michael Donahue nice
yeah a 2.5 pulley will put it over 700
Wait what’d you build? Just saw a S/C swap? Just call it an upgrade so I don’t waste my time with misleading videos
I said that in the video at the 6:25 mark- but unfortunately I'm not the one that titles them. -Justin
All that power and the car can't handle it. That makes me mad because it's like getting food and dropping it. You know all of it is there but can't eat it. Hopefully some tires like my good sir said and it'll be laughing at all those hellkittys and CaMarOs.
He's a radial away from getting traction on the street. -Justin
tocas21 working on it thanks for the post
That's awesome. Can you imagine the faces on those hellcats and ZL1 when the realize they got smoke by a 10 year old car. Anyways have fun with that beast on the road and as always safety first.
it may just be me, but i would leave a shelby stock, and get a regular GT for any modifications. your hurting the value of it imo
I understand where you're coming from and these are alot more unique and special than a normal gt is and while they do hold their value better than a normal mustang they made enough of them for enough years where they arent gonna hold any significant value to where youd wanna never drive it or mod it. They were made to be enjoyed, modded and driven not sit in guys garages so they can hope one day itll be worth something. You cant just buy a gt and get the same driving experience these have a blown 5.4 and a tr6060 trans both totally different animals than what is in a gt. Yea you can get a newer coyote but they dont sound as good or make as much torque as these cars and they dont have the badass trans in them. Im a manual guy so i aint interested in 6r80 or 10r80 really they are very good transmissions but as i said in a manual guy. No reason not to drive and mod your shelby the way you want thats what they were made to do.
*edit*
Also if you do nice tasteful mods to your shelby mods really dont hurt the value on shelbys really...they dont really add much value per sey but they dont really take it away either. A nice tastefully modded shelby that isnt chopped up or completely changed can and will bring as much money as stock examples do.
low numbers
should be in the 700
Not low for 17 psi and pump gas. If it was running 20+ on e85 with. Fuel system it would be well over 700 easily.
BAPs are such a garbage "mod". It's a bandaid that gives so many people a false sense of security.
While I agree its not the end all/be all fueling fix they are hardly 'garbage'. -Justin
disinferno06 winter project is a fuel system, tires and gears believe me if I’d known it would run out of fuel that quick I would have had a fuel system done before dropping it off to them
Ha !!! You sound like everyone on SVT performance ...... “bandaid “ let me guess lund told you that lol ...... BAPs have been on pretty much on more SUPER cars then Shelby’s and they work great never once failed my 850hp shelby and I have a John lund tune ...... show me some data that there garbage or maybe sit down lol
disinferno06 google VAN Collier and his accomplishments he uses a BAP lol 😂... you have no clue what your talking about
First
First 🔥
Now were talking screw this s550 crap
While i like s550s EVERYBODY has one there is nothing unique about them. I love these 5.4s they sound better and make way more torque by comparison and seem to be generally more reliable overall. Never heard of any engine problems unless theyre making well north of 700 and/or extend the rev limiter way beyond stock. Outside of that they seem bulletprood....id rather have one of these over an s550...stock blower makes a blower swap alot cheaper than adding a blower to a coyote. These will get 100 times more stares out in the wild compared to a dime a dozen s550
Nice
Heebee Jeebeez thanks
