🔧 BUILD 01bluesnake's 2018 TT GT350

General Information

TURBO UPDATES START HERE - https://www.thechicagogarage.com/threads/01bluesnakes-2018-tt-gt350.173540/post-4278124


Sooo, couldn't wait any longer for my '94 cobra to be done, needed my fix lol. As seeing how my other turd box is moving away from 'street car' manors, I wanted something I could take out to shows, cruise, and just enjoy. I do plan to fuck this car up, so for any Shelby purists, this thread will not be your friend. I'm not a big road race guy, been there, and done that with some of my older cars. While fun, I like my short burst, lame 1/4 mile racing that takes no skill (kidding). Some may remember me, some may not, for those that do, you know what's coming lol.

I picked up the car a few weeks ago from Fargo ND, was a long trip but worth it. Car is bone stock, with 2600 miles on it. It's a lead foot gray, strip delete car, babied its whole life. Heres some pics from that journey. Left at 7am, got back at 3am that night. Was so tired, just pulled the trailer in the garage with the car and said fuck it lol.

Jeeeeeeesus. On just 6psi.

Did you put that gt500 block with built rotating assembly in it too or are you sprinkling fairy dust on the stock voodoo?

I need a ride. Will pay in sexual favors
Still rocking stock motor in this car, the built motor is for the cobra, unless this one shits itself lol. You let me know the day, we can go get food too.

Drew u have a huge balls I love the gt350s but that voodoo motor scares the shit out of me. I’ve seen so many in the shop that needed engine replacements that were under 2500 rpm

lol thank you. I've had great luck with it, and the customers cars i've done as well. I think a lot of it has to deal with guys not running the right oil, and letting oil temp get up to operating range before beating on it. The oil temp needs to be 175-180 before i will go wot, or take the rpms over 3k, otherwise the pistons will rattle the shit out of them selves and start killing the plasma coated bores and skirts. I have zero oil consumption on this car, but the original owner also broke it in correct and knew about oil brand and operating temp. Another issue i'm avoiding is fuel, these cars being 12.0 comp with no DI really makes them work hard under 93oct, another contributor to engine failures. If i had to run 93 oct, i would be using Torco or Boostane as added safety.

Agreed ^^ That engines too special for the average Mustang owner that just beats the piss out of everything.

I still think the GT350 is worth the price of admission for the engine alone.

The engine, and being stick is what sold me. Cosmetically I think the gt350 looks a lot better then the GT500. The GT500 looks over done to me lol

Need some rev and drive by exhaust clips of this thing!

I'll try to make some with the GoPro next time it's on the dyno, maybe over the weekend.

After seeing how fucking bad ass and clean this thing was in Algonquin, I see even awesome pictures don't do this cat justice! I have to set up a dyno session with Drew so I can attempt to keep up with this car, lol
Thank you! Better hurry, cause I'm about to up the boost haha. If I finish the boost controller, just being lazy at this point, ill see what it does on 10psi. I dont think the stock clutch will take more then that though.

01bluesnake 01bluesnake you going to have this thing in the shop Monday when I swing by with the cobra? ?
Depending what time you want to pick your car up tomorrow, I might bring it out. Yours is done BTW lol

Whats the TCG price on another kit for a 2020 GT A10 car?
If you want some pricing, I can get some for you. Have done a few of these setups on S550's, just have to figure out what options and other supporting mods you'd want.

So in attempt for a more street friendly wheel and tire combo, I ended up grabbing some Forgstar F14 for in back. I may grab the fronts, just want to check fitment and how off they look with the stock front wheels. Gonna throw on some radials, so I can at least cruise the highway with confidence and take turns again. Ordered two wheels, both are suppose to be here, only got one. Something i must of never noticed before on the 15x10 is the two valve stem holes, why why why ?
