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.

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.

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
