You just want pics of the Range Rover. Gotta make sure it is okay with the customer to post them first. We dont post anything without the customers permission.

Tru trac is an awesome unit. The only down side to them is if you are going to run all out slicks. Depending on the force you put through it, you can explode it. Since it is gear driven, there is no clutch to give and if you have enough traction to keep the tires from spinning and are putting all of the power through the gears of the tru trac, under the right circumstances bad things can happen. If you are going to run full on slicks, I would go eaton posi. If you just plan to run drag radials I would go with the tru trac.

That is my bet as well.

Just replace it

Swap injectors with another cylinder that is good and see if the problem follows. If it does, the injector is your problem. If not, it may be an intake manifold gasket. They like to lay over on and cause a leak. Alot of times, they will run poorly when cold and once some heat comes into it it will expand and seal up.

A few months back we had the opportunity to work on yet another GT500 for a customer. When we received the car, it was already equipped with a Steeda 2.7 pulley, FRPP cold air kit, Bassani long tube headers, and full Bassani 3" exhaust. The car had a few minor problems the customer wanted worked out. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/20100303093512_1_.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/20100303093423_1_.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/20100303093349_1_.jpg The car was making decent power on the tune it came in, 537 rear wheel horsepower to be exact. The goal was to eliminate a nagging check engine light, quieten down the exhaust a tad, and we were asked to make sure everything else was in line as well. Two 12" resonators were installed directly after the collectors to help calm the noise of the exhaust. With the installation of the resonators we were also able to eliminate two exhaust leaks that were affecting the front oxygen sensors. We then moved on to verify that the correct heat range spark plugs were installed and set to the proper gaps. In this case, stock plugs were reused in the original install and they were still set at the stock gap. The stock plug is way to hot for any additional boost and is a huge no no on these cars. We went ahead and put the correct plugs set at the correct gap in the car. To help eliminate belt slip we installed a Metco 90mm axillary idler pulley. The idler not only takes up belt slack from using the smaller pulley, but it also helps wrap the belt further under the smaller pulley, allowing for more pulley contact. The smaller supercharger pulley before the installation of the auxillary tensioner. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/DSC03157.jpg You can see how much more contact the belt has with the supercharger pulley after the installation of the auxillary tensioner. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/20100305175126_1_.jpg Next it was time to move onto tuning. The first thing we did was ditch the previous tune and Istarted from scratch.Since power was good with the tune in the car, the plan was to improve driveability, eliminate the check engine light, and make sure the car was safe. The result was gains as high as 20 lb/ft tq in the lower rpm ranges and 19 horsepower up top and a very nice progressive pedal. Another added benefit is that @ 6200 rpm, where the original tune was falling off, the PPC tune is still on the rise. I probably could have pulled the car a little higher and saw more peak horsepower but for safety sake, I left the stock rev limiter @ 6250 rpm and did not feel the need to pull any higher. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/555hpgraph.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/before_after.jpg Here is the before and after graphs broke out every 50 rpm for comparison. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/p1.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Tim%202009%20GT500/p2.jpg

Sent you a pm Rob.

No problem thanks for checking with us.

Thanks. Wheel Medic actually handled the wheels. They turned out to be a real challenge with the way the customer wanted them but they turned out good and he is happy with them. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the insets are done the same color as the stripes on the car.

We logged intake temp through the laptop. I dont have a way to everlay it on the dyno graph. The car is equipped with the upgraded C&R/Shelby Heat Exchanger which has the dual 9" Spal cooling fans on the backside. It does a great job of keeping things cool. On this run the car was fairly cool and the intake temps peaked in the mid 130's. Heat soaked we were seeing 145 by the end of the pulls.

Power numbers are in. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Mark%202007%20SuperSnake/751_657.jpg

Sure thing. Let me get with one of the sales guys and we will get it over to you.

All this and 8 miles a gallon!

They offered a 605hp version and a 725hp version. Both are quoted crank figures though. The 605 hp version would have put down low 500's to the tire and the 725hp versions put down 600-650 to the wheels depending on the dyno. I actually think this car would have done a little better on the stock tune than on the Quantum tune. About 625 is what I would have expected to see on our dyno.

Car pulls good. Feels really nice on the road although it is a handful on street tires. Funny story, the guy lives all of 3 minutes from the shop and got a ticket doing 87 in a 55 on the way to drop it off. When the cop asked him why he was speeding he told him he was dropping it off at our shop. The cop then asked what we were doing to it and the guys answer was "making it faster". We were all rolling laughing listening to the guy tell the story.

Thanks Scott. It doesnt matter to me as long as in the end the guys is happy with the car we roll out.

This is what you need! http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/IMG00086.jpg Seriously, looks like fun and the pic of the outback is hilarious.

The new 72 lb/hr injectors got installed today. The blower had to be removed to get the fuel rails out. While we were in there we went ahead and installed a new set of black anodized Fore Precision fuel rails. Thought I would post a pic up with the blower removed. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Mark%202007%20SuperSnake/IMG00012-20100529-0937.jpg We also were able to get the Innovators West 10% overdriven crank pulley installed. Here is a pic of the stocker vs new. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Mark%202007%20SuperSnake/IMG00014-20100529-1157.jpg We have a few more upgrades to make and the car will be ready to hit the rollers. We are hoping to have it finished up by next weekend. Jon Lund (Jon handles the tuning for Lethal Performance, Evolution Performance, and has tuned several of the fastest GT500's out) will be handling the tuning of the car. The guy really wanted Jon to do the tune but did not want to travel. The tune that is in the car at the moment is from Quantum out of Texas and it has never been 100% right. He really wanted to deal with someone local to prevent more of the same. With Jon being a friend of mine, I just made the call and set it up for the customer. The car should be really fun when it is finished!

We did this car a few months back. The car at the time made 640/585. The customer had ordered an S&B replacement air filter to replace the ugly yellow filter Ford supplies with the car. We popped the filter on and thought we would check to see if there were any power gains to be had from the filter. As we suspected, power was virtually the same. While the car was on the dyno, I went ahead and made a few minor adjustments to the tune and the car finished up with 661/605 on 93 octane! http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03214.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03211.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/662_605.jpg Video

I say this is ultimately the correct answer.
