Its Been 2 long - The V6 Lives on

So ya its been a wahile and I just wanted to give a update since my last post. 

Its been 2 years since I drifted. 

The transmission was changed.

Car gutted.

Roll Cage added.


Planted seat brackets for 05-09   - THe Sliver things are Kirkey side brackets for the 18" wide seat


After that a 'On 3 Performance' turbo kit was installed with some modifications as the car is set low.




A new fiberglass dash and setup from Matt Graham




Here is a picture of Matt at East Coast Bash:



Followed by a ASD 12" Hydro, electric power steering pump and Lexan Glass windshield



Then a trip to RT Tuning for a tune but that did not work out as the turbo had oil leaking from it.





When we got to Englishtown, NJ for Eash Coast Bash 2014 we changed it back to stock on Saturday.




The car ran well stock during acceleration but during drift it can cut out during high rpm, so back to the drawing board. I think we will keep it stock until the winter comes.

Here is a pic of me and my boy Logan Bryce:

MMD is giving Away the May 2014 Muscle Mustangs  Fast Fords Cover Car

The Giveaway

One person will get to drive home from the annual AmericanMuscle Car Show—the largest Mustang only car show on the planet—in their newly acquired magazine cover car—Project MMD. Not only is this Muscle Mustangs and Fast Ford’s (MM & FF) May 2014 Cover Car, it’s also the same build that was featured at Forgestar’s booth for the 2013 SEMA Auto Show. The winner will be selected on 8/4/2014 and will be handed the keys at the AmericanMuscle car show on 8/16/2014.

The Car - SEMA 2014

Sometimes you plan out an entire build before you ever pick up a wrench—this was not how Project MMD began. This car started out as a way to showcase some of MMD’s most popular modifications, but once the opportunity to showcase a car at the 2013 SEMA Auto Show came along, the guys at MMD went back to the drawing board. They commissioned AmericanMuscle to handle the performance aspects of the car while they gave it an appearance overhaul. The end result was a successful appearance at Forgestar’s SEMA booth and a few neck snapping trips in Las Vegas and the surrounding countryside.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Cover Car – May 2014

Project MMD was designed and built to be a SEMA car, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fully functional street machine—the guys at MMD actually drive it around town and to shows. That’s what pegged the interest of the crew over at MM & FF and once they finally saw Project MMD in person at SEMA, they knew they were looking at a cover car.

Project MMD – Styling

What began as your run-of-the-mill 2014 Oxford White Premium GT received the perfect synergy of classically inspired styling mixed with a bold, attention demanding modern twist. The car takes inspiration from the late ‘60s Mustangs, such as the GT350 style spoiler and hood scoop. It also employs more recent aesthetics such as a matte white vinyl wrap and an adjustable air ride suspension that lets you drop the car to the ground when parked or at a show, all while still delivering the performance of coil overs. With the fog light deletes, page was taken from the BOSS 302’s playbook, along with the matte black roof decal.
Of the more modern styling, the MMD windshield and side decals offer a stark color contrast while the matte while tail light covers make for a more fluent paint scheme. The rear diffuser is an MMD prototype developed for this car and accounts well for the Ford Racing exhaust dumps.

From my Friend Peter


Found two dyno graphs for the 05 V6, both show peak power round the 170bhp mark (one was taken when car was fairly new too). So I think Ford, in saying 210, have either lied, or quoted the hp at the flywheel. Anyway, I overlayed your dyno results (green) on top of the dyno results I found for a stock one (red), and also one with $400 worth of mods from “Alternative Auto” (blue). Turns out your bhp is actually impressive as hell compared to stock and your probably getting 30-40 bhp more than your car originally had. You’ve increased torque throughout the whole rev range too, so if you chipped it differently for peak power only you could probably squeeze another 10bhp out (but I wouldn’t). V smooth power delivery as it is (just as I remember!)
