Boost is fun, isn't it? I'll be interested to see how long it is before you think about ditching the 4.10's. 1'st and 2'nd gear are pretty squirly I bet.....Enjoy the Vortech, I love mine...John R

glad to see you got it done. I know you will enjoy it.

1-2 and 3 but this thing moves, theres only little things one is when u really get on it slow down and do it angain it blows the dicharge tube off the blower end and dies 2 the idler pulley rubs the alt a little bit.
any ideas? thanks Bob

put a clamp and tighten it down? go over all the hoses again and make sure everything is facing the right way

today i rescaned my car to make shur no codes didnt come back and i had 3 of them. i have a system too rich on both banks but im scared to send the chip back to have then lean it out. they might go to far so im going to just leave it alone i think.

 

[johnr2001]

I would leave it alone, better a little rich then lean. and you may not be rich under boost in the higher rpms. just my opinion.

 

[01 Mustang Gt]

it is a little bit rich in upper rpm and under boost. not being mean but i graphed the fuel trims and O2's with our scan tool at work at it was just a little rich all the way up

so ill just let it go.


have u hade any tranny problems yet, just asking cause the amount of boost and power your run'in im scared for mine

 

[johnr2001]

no tranny issues so far. hope this does not jinx me.:laugh: and believe me I have not cut it any slack. I had the best times at the track just leaving it in drive programmed to shift at 5900.

t45 trannys only handle 350lb/ft of torque t3650 trannys only handle 325lb/ft torque. 99-01 pre feb has t45 after feb-04 Gt's have t3650s.. If you have a handheld tuner you should be able to lean it out atleast 6%

 

[01 Mustang Gt]

i have a tremec 3550 and i have a custom chip

 

[fobra559]

Your lucky man, I want to get blown already lol. How long did the install take you? I was looking to get a vortech.

 

[01 Mustang Gt]

i had it done but the belt (needed a pulley) by10:00 and i started at 5:30 when i got off work with no help. oh my bad my girlfriend ran the jack when i did the fuel tank, and got me tools

 

[fobra559]

Thanks, it's always good to have a helping hand

 

[FM2K GT]

aftermarket tranny? pretty sure gt's only came with t3650s.

 

[01 Mustang Gt]

if ur talk'n to me yes it is aftermarket it came with the car when i got, and im shur thats what it is because i'v the tranny out 3-4 times since i'v owned it

 

[FM2K GT]

thats cool, i'm 100% sure stock past feb 01-04 GT's have T3650s in them, if your tranny ends up going from the newly found power id suggest TKo600 or T56 viper tranny. gotta love them blowers!!!

 

[01 Mustang Gt]

this thing is just, a different car 100% i love it
