Pump Gas Monster. Twin Turbo Ford GT build.
Over the Last few weeks at the shop we have been hard at work on another TT Ford GT build. This Specific build has been a little different from our standard off the shelf Twin Turbo Kit. The Game plan for the car revolved around making lots of power on pump gas only for tearing up the streets of Austin.
The Basic premise of the setup was to go with a slightly bigger compressor wheel with all the technology stuffed into to try and make it spool comparable to a gt35R but still make more power on the top end. We also started

Ford GT custom Exhuast Fabrication
This week we thought we would show you a little about the fabriction process and what it takes to build a piece for the almighty FORD GT.
The Stock Exhuast system is removed in favor of a lighter and more powerful system. Everything you see here is built out of 304 Stainless steel and is hand TIG welded. The Process is very tideous and time consuming, but patience is key. Stainless tends to expand and contract as it heat cycles. This makes for a very diffucult fabrication process when trying to keep eveything symmetrical on these high dollar cars.
Enjoy the Pictures of the process. Soon the car will be back for a…..

Completed Single Turbo Ford GT
Well its now December, a good months after the mile and the single turbo FGT made its debut. Unfortunately the event didn’t treat the car too well and we winded up chasing bugs down all weekend. Although, we did manage a few 215+ mph passes on low boost. Seeing the car go down the track was enough to put big smiles on the crew after the long month of assembling the car.
The setup put down just over 1040 rwhp at 19 lbs of boost at 6800. Shaking down the car has shown us how

Outlaw Drag Viper
This 1997 Dodge Viper GTS started its build with a teardown of a beatifully prepared streetcar with the tune of about 1300rwhp. The Chassis work is Immaculate, the Carbon Fiber Trim work is amazing. This car is astonishing inside and out all the way from the interior to the power plant.
