I thought about adding one but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. The SHO would have been my first back up camera anyhow. My stock one was glued on. Its not too hard to take that rear trim piece off either you can easily access from the inside just remove the liner. Theres clips you can slowly pry one by one and it also has some double sided tape helping hold it in place but that peels up pretty easy. So for me I'll just heat it up and peel it off, put the new one on...if it doesn't come with anything I'll 3m tape it on.when I do it I'll take pics

12.5 sounds pretty dang fast. I'm stuck at a best of 13.0 and only when it was 45 degrees out, lol.
Congrats! Excited to see the new numbers!
Matt and I have been working together the past couple days on some really cutting edge stuff in the tuning department.
You will for sure be in good hands!
When are you scheduling the install?

Thanks! The install is scheduled for the 24th and I'm sure I won't get it back until the 25th. I dont have dyno numbers of the set up I have now. There isn't an AWD dyno here that has mechanically linked rollers, there is one that is a hub dyno but the shop is odd, never has returned any of my calls and Ive left a couple voicemails. I would prefer to do a dyno before and after GH turbos, intercooler and second meth nozzle. I will have before and after track slips that's for sure.
I did find a dyno in NH I plan to use post install but at the moment I'm trying to plan something at a different dyno. Hopefully that works out or I'll end up at the one I found in NH, Granite State Dyno & Tune.
The plan right now is to use GH's complimentary base tune to accomodate the new turbos and intercooler to get me going. GH is certainly a tuner I would run with as they clearly have a grasp on this platform seeing how they developed the turbos and intercooler but I'm resisting that idea. I'm inclined to believe GH has the best strategy for tuning their turbos and intercooler however I'm not counting my buddy AJP out so I've reached out to Brad and Ive got a plan in the works that I hope turns out.

Right? wth is all that money coming fromme and my hopefully 12.5 second car are starting to feel old and slow as crap ..
How do you think I feel I actually have to go to the track WITH him. :help:
Got you covered there buddy how about you drive!
Cut my tips off last night and dropped them off to Vermont Powdercoating. Decided to go matte black instead of gloss. Sp542 plugs showed up. Still waiting on my badge from Billet Badges. GH turbos and intercooler should be here later in the week. Placed my order with TascaFord parts for all new turbo oil and coolant lines along with a brand new rear reinforcement bar. Also placed an order today with Alky Control for new pump and dual nozzle upgrade. Mike @ EPP said the intercooler to throttle body pipe is 1-2 weeks out so hopefully I will be able to install them before the 24th when the turbos go on. Also ordered another trans cooler by Derale. 16 row cooler that I'm going to also mount on my front impact bar, but I will also delete my grille mesh, the cooler is black so it should look pretty mean with a grille delete with the added cooler on display. I want to change up my front spoiler. A sheet of 3/8 abs plastic will be plenty to make a custom front splitter with rods. I want the front end to look like one mean mother*****r. Items all add up and getting pricey...thats about all for now. Just sit back and wait for them to show up then it's time to install everything myself except turbos.
Exciting stuff!! You won’t be disappointed! I have contemplated grabbing another Alky kit... but ultimately decided against it for now. With E30 I’m already at the limit of the stock block. Do you not have e85 by you?
Matt should have the drop in LPFP kit soon which will help, and in planning on it.. just an FYI

I'm excited...a little nervous too which is probably a good thing bc that translates to more precautions. Gotta respect the beast.
I don't have any E85 available to me. I like to get the most out of my setup and eblends are proven more powerful than 93...but I would have to supply myself with barrels...ive considered it but I dont think I could maintain that level of performance on a regular basis...idea of storing fuel at home in large amounts isnt exactly ideal.
I wanted to add a HPFP, specifically the XDI pump but I bit the bullet and decided to pay for turbo install and I underestimated the cost of replacing the oil and coolant lines. More or less the price for the HPFP right there. The downside of not getting exactly everything I want all at once is adding them slowly in the future and giving me more excuses to hit the track and update my best track time.
I have a vision for my car, specifically how it will look aesthetically along with how it will perform so I hope I can turn my vision into reality in the next 2-3 weeks.
I was hoping for it to be completed sooner as I really would like to attend Ford Nationals. Not that I still can't go but to go without my car wouldn't be ideal. Of course it would be cool to meet up with some of you guys, put faces to names and just enjoy the event.
We'll see.
Luckily the shop said my lines looked good... they cleaned them when they took them off... said there was no reason to replace them. I was prepared for the hit though...
My qualm with bigger turbos and meth without a HPFP on a stock motor would be if the meth fails during a run, chances are high it’s gonna blow if it’s meth dependent.
Matt’s 93 tune works well on the bigger turbos... it’s also auto octane so it’s a robust tune. He did tell me a small amount of meth would help with that tune though, so I’m sure he won’t make you meth dependent.
Nationals was a blast last year. Hoping I can make it again, but with the house for sale I have no clue what my schedule is gonna look like..... highly recommend going though.

Yeah you're lucky you didn't have to replace the lines but you really shouldn't have needed to, with it being a 16 and low mileage...I think if you would have needed to it would have been surprising. I'm at 72k and yeah I haven't really driven it in the snow much past the 1st year of ownership but the previous owner did for sure. Even if I didn't need to replace mine I would want to...they have surface rust on them and a bit unsightly...up against New turbos..heck no! Chris from GH said yeah replace them and they will be good for an easy 70k more. I'm replacing my meth pump and I haven't had any issues yet so knock on wood with the new pump and turbos.
