New Products Update

Well, as we prepare for the installation of the Auto Meter Gauges, we figured out, that to run the Wideband 02 AF Ratio Gauge, we need to upgrade our Downpipe, to one that already has the 02 Wideband sensor bung already included. So, while we get that sorted out, were taking a look at a couple of new items here in this post that will soon appear installed, here on the blog.


As you already know, we are installing the Auto Meter Gauges to have a better way to monitor our engine critical components, and we will be running the Nitrous Express Kit for the G35, but we wanted to upgrade the factory bracket for the 10Lb. Bottle. We want to make sure the Nitrous set up, is securely in place in the truck, so we decided to upgrade the factory provided bracket included, with a more durable solid billet bracket, (the one you see here) designed and engineered by the one of the Premiere Billet Custom Parts manufacturers that has been in existence, since before Billet was Cool; UPR Products, www.uprproducts.com. Now, before you start asking yourself, why would he go to a Mustang Billet Parts manufacturer to get a billet Nitrous Bottle Bracket? Well , all I have to say, is that, if you know anything about drag racing, then surely, you have heard the name, "Billy Glidden" at some point in your life. Billy Glidden, holds the records as the Worlds Fastest Nitrous Assisted 10.5W Mustang and Pontiac GTO When it comes to Nitrous, Billy Glidden has a "PHD" in the subject. His Nitrous Fed cars have graced the pages of literally every performance drag racing magazine in the world, and if Billy Glidden trust, UPR Products Billet line, for both his Mustang and his NHRA Pro Stock 6.50 second, 200+ MPH quarter mile Pontiac GTO, then, surely I can trust their Billet manufacturing expertise.

Next Step, to Monitor the Vitals of the Engine with the help of Auto Meter Gauges

Well, as far as the "SCleeper" look is concerned, I'm not going to be able to continue to run without monitoring all the vital signals the engine sends, without the use of some quality gauges. No one else to turn to but Auto Meter, the Masters of Gauges. One call to the folks at Auto Meter, and speaking to Kris Carlson, he recommended a 3 Gauge Package, Boost, Air Fuel and Fuel Pressure, along with their Bad Ass to the bone, Auto Meter Nexus controller. The Nexus controller allows your gauges to match the factory dash colors of virtually any car out on the market. http://autometer.com/demos/nexus/
check out how cool these things are. Gauges install is scheduled in the next couple of weeks, with a friend of mines, Sr. Editor of Modified Mustangs and Fords, Mark Houlahan. We will be posting pics of the complete install and some video as well so stay tuned...

Upgrade Time, from Vortech V2 SC, to a New Vortech V3 self-contained SC

Well, could not leave well enough alone...So I called my Marketing friend at Vortech Engineering, and we both agreed, it's upgrade time. Nothing wrong with the V2, but the new V3, self contained Supercharger, no oil from the oil pan tap? Too good to pass up. So out came the V2, and the new Polished V3 goes in, literally in like an hours time, thanks to my friend Larry Macedo, at Macedo Motorsports in Sanford for the install.

Here are pics of 1- the V2, 2- the V2 getting the "stare down" by the New V3 self-contained Vortech SuperCharger, 3- The V3, showing the oil drain line
