BradyPPC Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think I probably posted about this car the first time around. Anyway, this car is back for round 2 of mods which includes a new twin disc clutch, our custom cam upgrade, and all of the plastic body paneling on the outside of the car is getting replaced with real carbon fiber pieces from TruCarbon. It will probably be a week or so before the car is 100% complete but thought I would share some pics in the meantime. The first thing to do was drop the engine/trans out to begin making way for the cams and the new clutch install. http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6215&g2_serialNumber=1 Stock valve springs http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6221&g2_serialNumber=1 New valve springs after being measured and shimmed http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6224&g2_serialNumber=1 One of the new custom cams (on the right) vs the stock unit http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6230&g2_serialNumber=1 Custom cams drop back in and timed http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6233&g2_serialNumber=1 Since we were in this far, we went ahead and upgraded the oil pump gears with a set of billet ones http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6218&g2_serialNumber=1 For the clutch we went with a Mcleod RXT twin disc. The clutches have good holding capacity and a very light pedal which makes it great for street use http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6212&g2_serialNumber=1 And a pic of the car http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2518&g2_serialNumber=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelloman4571647545499 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nice build. BTW is that a 599 GTB in the background of the first photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, it's a bigger blower, boost-a-pump, etc... For some reason I thought they came with 750 HP, or something along those lines. Didn't IPS mod one to over 850? I've only seen one in person and it had a much different exhaust note. Sounded pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradyPPC Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 What makes a supersnake different then a normal GT500 of the same year, I dont think I have ever seen one The SuperSnake's are sent to shelby for an upgrade package. Most get either a 2.8 Kenne Bell or 3.4 Whipple blower, a new hood, different stripe package, carbon fiber ground effects, 1 piece driveshaft, upgraded baer brakes all the way around, and a few other minor things. What are the specs on the new cams? We dont publish our custom specs. They are huge though compared to stock. On most of our custom cams, we give the customer the specs and let them decide if they want to publish the specs or not. Most do not. wow over 700 how much does one cost The SuperSnakes are generally a little over $100k when it is all said and done Nice build. BTW is that a 599 GTB in the background of the first photo? 2012 Ferrari California Yeah, it's a bigger blower, boost-a-pump, etc... For some reason I thought they came with 750 HP, or something along those lines. Didn't IPS mod one to over 850? I've only seen one in person and it had a much different exhaust note. Sounded pretty good! Im not sure if the Kenne Bell versions come with the bap or not. We have done a few with both the KB and Whipple blowers. The whipple versions do not come with a pump upgrade and I simply cant remember on the KB version. The 750hp package shelby sells is pretty lame. Most of the cars lay down around 600-620 at the tires and a simple tune only will net right at 700 to the tires give or take. IPS did a silver one a while back and then Power by the Hour,L&M Engines,and Revan Racing teamed up on that same car and did a new motor, larger blower, and a few other goodies for the car and set the standing mile record for a SuperSnake at the texas mile last october. The same guys then turned around and went even faster this spring with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangman2011 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 So what do most car put out with these mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradyPPC Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 So what do most car put out with these mods? The car hasnt been on the dyno yet. It is probably a week or so out from being completed. We expect to see a 50-75hp gain from the cams. The car previously made around 690 to the wheels iirc.

BradyPPC Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The car is getting close. I was out on vacation all last week, so Im just now getting back into the swing of things. The car is up and running. Gonna put some break in miles on the new clutch and then it will be ready for the dyno. The car hit the alignment rack today for a quick adjustment after having the k member dropped out with the motor. http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6476&g2_serialNumber=2 http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6479&g2_serialNumber=2 http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6482&g2_serialNumber=2 The ac system was also recovered after the engine was reinstalled http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6485&g2_serialNumber=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
