<p>The <a href="http://www.lethalperformance.com">Lethal Performance</a> 2010 GT500 made its way deeper into the 9&#8217;s cracking off a 9.66@146.19mph. The weather was in the 60&#8217;s with a little bit of moisture in the air. Jeremy Martorella of <a href="http://uprproducts.com">UPR Products </a>pulled the car up to the line for our first run of the evening. With the 2 step set at 2100 he made the launch. First gear looked awesome and so did the 1-2 shift.. However after the shift the car broke loose and started going sideways but Jeremy&#8217;s professional race experience got the car back in the groove and down the rest of the track shifting as fast as an automatic could. As he passes the traps the board lit up with a<strong> 9.66@146.19mph</strong>. The car ran 114.14mph through the 1/8th.</p>
<p>This is still using a 4&#8243; pulley which produces 21.5psi. We were using C16 with no methanol and blower only. No changes were made besides the rear end since our last outing at the track. We&#8217;re going to continue working on the suspension and once it&#8217;s dialed in we&#8217;ll turn up the boost. Our goal we&#8217;re working towards is to make an 8 second pass with the 6 speed.</p>

The project started as a dream of one of his dearest friends and fellow Lightning owner, VinnieP. Vinnie passed away before the project got underway, and for that reason, it&#8217;s affectionately dedicated to him. The build itself took nearly 3 years so I think it&#8217;s safe to say that Matias was very passionate about this project.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">The truck was purchased brand new in 2003 after ordering it in late 2002.  It spent the first few years of its life as the owner&#8217;s daily driver, and had the usual bolt-ons, intake, chip, pulley, exhaust, and eventually nitrous. With that combo the truck ran a best of 11.90@114 with the stock motor. That wasn&#8217;t quite enough for MisterGadget so he decided to take the performance to the next level.<br />

<p><strong>Basic diagram of A/C system, and Killer Chiller modification</strong></p>
<p>Figure 2 shows the basic Ford A/C system and components. The 03-04 Mustang cobra is slightly different, but all the major components and connections are the same.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.modularfords.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/table2.jpg" alt="table2.jpg" /></p>
<p>The principal modification to the A/C system from installing the KC system is the replacement of the condenser to<br />
evaporator tube, with a line that goes from the condenser to the KC unit, and a line from the KC unit to the evaporator (at the firewall).</p>
<p>The flow path of the refrigerant at the end of this installation is: Compressor – condenser – KC unit (including orifice tube) – evaporator – accumulator – compressor</p>
<p>The flow path of the coolant at the end of this installation is: Reservoir – pump – heat exchanger – KC unit – intercooler – reservoir</p>
<p><strong><em>Read through the all the instructions before starting to improve your understanding of all the steps<br />
Make sure to follow standard safety rules associated with automotive maintenance and repair<br />
Suggestions and tips in the figures and text are denoted by an *</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Installation</strong><br />
* If the vehicle has been lowered, or you have difficulty reaching underneath, putting the front end up on some jacks maybe helpful.</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong><strong>Evacuate the A/C system.</strong> Do not vent the refrigerant to the atmosphere, it is toxic and harmful to the environment. Most service stations with A/C equipment can do this.<br />
<strong> 2. Disconnect the battery.</strong> (safety precaution).<br />
<strong> 3. Remove the front bumper cover.</strong> Follow the service instructions provided in Figures 3 and 4. You do not need to remove the headlights, just be careful to make sure the tabs under the headlights go back into their correct locations upon re-installation. An interior trim tool would be helpful to pull the two retainers from the bottom of the cover.The pin retainers on front of the inside fenders (Figure 2) are actually screws that attach the inner wheel vendors to the front bumper cover. Pull out the inner fender to gain access to the two bumper cover nuts inside. Don’t forget to disconnect the fog lamps, the connectors face the floor.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.modularfords.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/table3.jpg" alt="table3.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://www.modularfords.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/table4.jpg" alt="table4.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>4. </strong><strong>Drain the intercooler fluid.</strong> Remove the coolant line going out of the heat exchanger (the line going back into the intercooler). The section of hard line that the heat exchanger hose connects to (that goes to the intercooler) is shown in Figure 5.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.modularfords.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/slide10.jpg" alt="slide10.jpg" /><br />
Figure 5. Detail of coolant return line with hose removed.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong><strong>Remove the air filter and intake assembly.</strong> Remove the entire assembly from the throttle body forward. This<br />
will allow access to the condenser to evaporator line that must be removed.<br />
<strong> 6. Remove the factory condenser to evaporator A/C line.</strong> Service instructions for disconnecting the spring lock<br />
couplings are shown in Figure 6. Disconnect the low pressure suction line (at the top of the accumulator, Figure 7)<br />
to gain easier access to the evaporator line and for routing of the new A/C hose. The low pressure suction line (w/<br />
low side pressure port) requires the BLACK (5/8”) quick disconnect, the evaporator inlet coupling the BLUE<br />
(1/2”) quick disconnect tool, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. Service instructions for removal of the<br />
condenser to evaporator line are shown in Figure 9, and a detail of the peanut fitting to be removed is shown in<br />
Figure 10.</p>

<p><strong>7. </strong><strong>Modify the foam bumper insert to house the KC unit.</strong> Remove material from the foam bumper insert, similar to what is shown in Figure 11. Test fit the KC unit as you remove material, the KC fittings should be below the bottom of the radiator grille opening. If desired, the foam insert can be separated from the bumper to ease modification but it must then be re-attached to the bumper (with an electric fan mounting kit, for example). If you want to use the enclosed bracket, the foam material can be completely removed below the KC unit, and the bracket attached to the bottom of the bumper (as shown in Figure 12) to support the unit. Additional material will then also have to be removed to run the hoses out of the foam insert.</p>

Figure 12. Detail of the KC unit support bracket.</p>
<p><strong>8. </strong><strong>Install coolant water line from the heat exchanger to the KC unit.</strong> Depending on whether you have the factory or aftermarket heat exchanger installed this could be located at either the driver or passenger side. For this example an aftermarket dual pass unit was installed, and both the inlet and exit lines were on the passenger side. Use the enclosed heater hose and worm hose clamps. Figure 13 shows how the lines should be attached to the KC unit and the flow path of both the coolant and refrigerant lines. Figure 14 shows a detail of the line coming from the intercooler heat exchanger which uses one of the 90° PCV fittings to avoid kinking of the line. Two fittings have been included, use as necessary. Do not cut the hose until you are sure of the length by routing the line up to the KC unit first.</p>

Figure 14. Detail of the heat exchanger coolant outlet line.</p>
<p><strong>9. </strong><strong>Install coolant line from KC exit to intercooler.</strong> Install the hose from the intercooler inlet (hard line shown in<br />
Figure 4) to the KC unit (coolant exit, Figure 12). Again use the included heater hose line and worm hose clamps, and do not cut the line until you are sure of the length required.</p>
<p>* BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF THE NEW A/C FITTINGS AND LINES MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE O-RINGS AND PUT SOME PAG OIL (OR OTHER SUITABLE LUBRICANT) ON THEM. PUTTING PAG ON THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FITTINGS WILL ALSO HELP INSTALL THEM ONTO THE HOSES.</p>
<p><strong>10. </strong><strong>Install A/C line from condenser to KC inlet. </strong>Install the new A/C line (#8) from the condenser (peanut fitting) to the KC unit (inlet w/ orifice tube, Figure 13). Use the included high pressure line, connect the peanut fitting and 90° metal hose fitting together, and attach the #8 hose. A detail of how the high pressure hose clamps are attached is shown in Figure 15, with additional tips for crimping the clamps. Figure 16 shows a detail of the fitting and installed onto the condenser, note that there is a slight angle to avoid the hose from resting against a screw that protrudes from the fender. Test fit the assembled fitting prior to attaching. You will need an open end 13 mm wrench to get to the nut, remember the torque spec provided in Figure 9, do not over tighten or you may strip the bolt.</p>
<p>*Make sure that the peanut fitting is flush with the condenser. Once the peanut fitting is properly attached at the condenser route the #8 hose to the KC unit to determine the exact length required. Attach the #8 fitting and clamps to the hose and thread the fitting and finished line onto the KC unit A/C inlet line (Figure 13).</p>

Figure 16. Detail of the new A/C line attached to the condenser.</p>
<p><strong>11. </strong><strong>Install the new A/C line from the evaporator (firewall) to the KC unit exit.</strong> Use the supplied coupling and<br />
thread the hose fitting and clamped #10 hose onto the coupling (Figure 17). The installed fitting (at the firewall) is<br />
shown in Figure 18. Run the hose underneath the low pressure metal suction line, and if desired insulate all or part<br />
of the line as shown in Figure 19. This will help keep the refrigerant going to the evaporator (and the cab) cooler. Similar to the condenser line, do not cut the hose until it has been routed to the KC unit. Attach the #10 fitting and clamps to the hose and thread onto the KC unit exit (Figure 13). The completed zip-tied lines (underneath the vehicle) are shown in Figure 20. Your installation may be different depending on heat exchanger and routing of lines.</p>

Figure 20. Detail of final coolant and A/C line configuration with the KC installed.</p>
<p><strong>12. </strong><strong>Re-attach the low pressure suction line spring coupling.</strong> Once the KC to evaporator line is installed, re-attach<br />
the low pressure line coupling to the accumulator. Double check all the coolant and A/C line connections and fittings before proceeding.<br />
<strong> 13. Re-connect the battery.</strong><br />
<strong> 14. Refill intercooler reservoir.</strong> Use both anti-freeze and water due to the improved cooling, and insure that all air<br />
pockets have been removed. The intercooler pump can be jumpered at the relay to run without the engine on.<br />
Should the pump cavitate due to air, remove the upper hose coming from the intercooler at the reservoir and blow<br />
strongly into the line, re-start the pump and continue to add fluid until the system is full. Depending on the model<br />
of heat exchanger a stop cock can also be opened to remove additional air in the heat exchanger. Check for any<br />
coolant leaks.<br />
<strong> 15. Reinstall the intake and air filter assembly.</strong> Remember to plug in the MAF and IAT1 sensors.<br />
<strong> 16. Vacuum the A/C system to remove moisture (low pressure side).</strong> An inexpensive air vacuum pump can be used if the proper capacity air compressor is available. This unit is shown in Figure 21. If R-134A is used insure at least 25 in-Hg of vacuum for 30-45 minutes prior to filling (depending on humidity). If ES-12A is used, a shorter time maybe sufficient since ES-12A is unaffected. A typical vacuum setup is shown in Figure 22 with an A/C gauge set also purchased at Harbor Freight.</p>

Figure 22. Example setup for pulling vacuum on the A/C.</p>
<p><strong>17. </strong><strong>Re-charge the A/C.</strong> Follow standard A/C service procedures for re-filling the system and checking the low and<br />
high side pressures. Add in 2 oz. of PAG oil to the system, before adding refrigerant. Depending on the refrigerant 3-4 cans are needed to refill the system. Use A/C service charge pressure recommendations. One simple formula for determining the high side pressure is:</p>
<p>Average Ambient Temperature (F) X 2.3 = High Side Pressure (psi)</p>
<p><strong>18. </strong><strong>Re-attach the front bumper cover.</strong> Once the system is operational, and no leaks have been found, re-attach the<br />
front bumper cover following the procedures shown in Figures 2 and 3 in reverse.</p>
<p>Depending on the vehicle modifications, ambient conditions, refrigerant and refrigerant pressure levels, the KC (at idle), should be able to reduce the ambient coolant temperatures down to mid-40’s (F) in about 4-5 minutes of operation. Installation of a temperature sensor in the coolant reservoir will provide an average temperature of the coolant. Placement of a temperature sensor into the KC coolant exit line (near the KC unit) will provide temperature of the coolant going into the intercooler.</p>
<p>An example of the results are shown in Figure 23. The A/C (w/ KC installed) is turned on with the car (cold). The ambient and coolant temperature (Figure 22a) is 81 F. After approximately 3-3.5 minutes of idling the coolant temperature is 50 F (Figure 22b). After about 5 minutes of idling the coolant temperature reaches 44 F (Figure 22c). The vent temperature (as measured with an IR probe) is 40 F.</p>

<p>Techco International has just released their 3.0L twin screw supercharger kit for the S197 Mustangs.  Being comprised of several of the engineers that brought us the Saleen blower, Techco has the talent to deliver a powerful blower.  How does it measure up?</p>
<p>Our test car is a 2006 Mustang GT (Auto) previously equipped with the Saleen supercharger kit, as sold by JDM Engineering.  Prior to the Techco installation our test car was put back to stock minus American Racing 1 5/8” headers, catted X-pipe, Zoomer’s axleback, and GT500 fuel pumps. The installation of the Techco blower follows very closely with the other twin screw kits, so our review will concentrate on the differences of the install, and the performance of the blower.</p>

<p><em><strong>You Kill it, We Grill It Barbecue Cook off Contest</strong></em><br />
It’s come to our attention that not all of our customers are out cruising the streets or lighting up the tracks in their super-tuned Mustangs 24/7. As it turns out, many of them spend ample time pony’d up to the barbecue searing, smoking and delivering meticulously rubbed and marinated meatiness to fork and knife pounding carnivores everywhere.<br />
Well let it be known that we at American Muscle are hungry too. We’ve been known to sink our teeth deep into a hearty steak and chew like rabid dogs thrashing our heads until only bone remains. But we digress. With the summer grilling season now upon us, we are asking our customers to submit their favorite Ford Mustang-inspired recipes for the grill. Be it your 1/4-Mile Race Strip Steak, or your explosive NOS-Infused Filet Mignon, or your Extra Greasy Rack ‘n Pinion Ribs, you send us your favorite recipes and we’ll have our very own professional chef (Yes, we actually have a professional chef on staff, because that’s just how we roll.) prepare ‘em per your exact instructions.<br />
And when all the grillin’ is done, the Official AmericanMuscle.com Eating Team, a select group of world-renowned barbecue aficionados who also just happen to work for us, will devour your delectable eats and proclaim a winner, or vomit, but hopefully the prior.<br />
To the winner goes a Grand Prize package valued at more than $300 that includes a stainless steel Keg-a-Que portable grill, a deluxe 18-piece barbecue tool set, a manly American Muscle chef’s hat and apron (because you’ve gotta dress the part), an Extreme Barbecue Cookbook, and an Omaha Steak Gift Package that will be lucky to escape the building.<br />
Submissions must be made to <a href="mailto:contests@americanmuscle.com">contests@americanmuscle.com</a> before 5pm EST on Monday June 22, 2009. All submissions must include the senders full name, address, phone number, and email address. Everyone is eligible to enter and up to three recipes are allowed per household.

In Feb this year, Brent contacted FB Performance Transmissions and Pro Torque Converters, because of concerns he had regarding the strength and durability of the existing C-4 transmissions being used in some of his race cars.  No sooner did FB quote a replacement Pro Competition AO3 transmission when two of the C-4’s were already began having serious problems after only two events. After repeated repairs it was obvious that these units could not survive a long racing schedule.FB then supplied Hajek Motorsports with an AO3 Stage-2 transmission and an 8” Full Race converter specifically built for Super Stock Class racing.  Any concerns about efficiency and durability were completely dispelled at the recent launch of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series at S.R.C.A.. Dragstrip in Great Bend, Kansas on April 25th.On the first qualifying pass, Brent’s 3660 lb. Cobra Jet had a 1.32 60ft and went a 10.32 ET. off the “foot” brake while operating at 5000 feet of air.  This was enough to make his car easily the No.1 Qualifier in the “A” Stock class. By comparison, the same type of car with a stick could only manage a 1.42 60ft. and 10.60 ET.  Quite a difference!We’re not at liberty to reveal what the Cobra Jet turned during the test and tune passes, but Brent commented after the event that he believed that the car would go a 9.60 at sea level without a problem.  This event only reinforced everyone’s beliefs that the AO3 transmission would not only out perform the C-4, but would last a heck of a lot longer. Any myths about the reliability and performance of properly race-built AOD were completely dispelled.More information about the AO3 transmission can be viewed on the following links:<a href="http://www.fbperformance.com/page.asp?get=23&amp;t=Top2">http://www.fbperformance.com/page.asp?get=23&amp;t=Top2 </a><a href="http://www.fbperformance.com/PrintTrans.asp?TransmissionID=79">http://www.fbperformance.com/PrintTrans.asp?TransmissionID=79</a>Or contact:<a href="http://www.fbperformance.com/ContactUs.asp"> http://www.fbperformance.com/ContactUs.asp</a></p>
