- So I finally got around to making this video. I didn’t go thruugh the mods in the order that I installed them but at the end of the video I do have dyno clips in the order that they happened with the mods the car had at the time. I also didn’t tell the whole story of the car since I’ve had it and I didn’t include all the maintenance and extra stuff I’ve done to it (stuff like new rocker arms and lifters, spark plugs, etc.). We’re hitting the drag strip in the next video so stay tuned!!!

I love the 3V mustang, best looking mustang in my opinion
Excellent production and very successful project thus far! Thank you, that was quite interesting and informative. G.
Thank you very much!!!
Nice. A couple of mods I was unaware of that I'm going to need. (i.e cluth cable, and I know I need suspension work). FYI: The GT500 4 piston Brembo front brake and rotor swap can be done on the cheap. And a 2-step can also add a little excitement.
Good job man. I like seeing people do things different and not just listen to everyone else when they tell you it isn't "worth it" whatever that means. I mean 3v can be had significantly cheaper than even gen 1 coyotes so it's all relative. Not sure why these people can't understand this lol. You should throw an m122 blower on it with the department of boost gt450 manifold. Then you could upgrade to a gen3r if you build your motor. I think a gen3r equipped built motor 3v would be cool with cams and headers. 700+ rwhp. I have one on my 07 gt500 and I'm around 750 wheel with stock exhaust manifolds and a twin69 tbody. I'm also running 93/boostane (100 octane) and 20 psi. It's super badass. Thr 5.4 4v sounds wicked too like 3vs do and they got torque for days.
Blow By Racing is a little over an hour from me down here in Florida. Chris at BBR knows what hes doing with Fords because hes been around them for a long time. Ive helped his friend over at Florida High Performance who specializes in Late Model GM builds.
Just coming in, hella late to see I love this--my 5spd 3v is my first car, and I've owned it for 7 years, 3rd owner at nearly 200k miles, and this thing is just a trooper, I'm looking to do the same. Overtime doing some suspension work and going for FBO and lito tuned. A stroked out, cammed 3v with some high flowing heads and screaming to 7500rpm just sounds like more fun than any coyote build and just want it to be a fun pro-touring circuit toy.
Hey, I have a black 3V FBO in Portland Oregon. I was wondering if you could post a link to the key?
Hey Christian, you keep being you and enjoying your 3V - just ignore the haters. I follow you because we both experienced similar damage to our cars - I own a low mileage, pristine 2006 Kenne Bell Mustang GT running 9 psi. I really enjoy watching your posts. I'm at 495.71 rwhp / 453.62 wtq and enjoy the hell out of my 3V also. I've been on a few road courses in VA and tried a few tracks in the UK as well including Brands Hatch and Silverstone. I've installed Steeda Stages 1, 2, and 3 fully adjustable G-Trak suspension kits on mine as well as a Shelby (Fays2) Watts Link out back bolted to a billet Ford Racing diff cover. I provided some of my specs on your wreck video, but I'll repeat here. Kenne Bell Stage 2 (130mm throttle body) - 2.4L intercooled blower, Pypes 1 5/8 stainless LT's with catted X-Pipe and Borla ATAK cat-back, 3:73 gears, Comp Cam Stage 2 NSR cams, one-piece aluminum drive shaft, McLeod RST twin disk clutch with upgraded 26 spline input shaft and light weight steel flywheel with Blowfish shift kit (resolves the high-rpm lockout issue into 3rd), Barton shifter, Steeda brake cooling duct kit, upgraded 14" Brembo brakes up front and Steeda 13" upgrade out back. Installed a BMR tubular K-member and control arm kit and BMR tubular radiator support to lighten up the front a little. I run on 255/45-18 Nitto NT555 G2s in front and 305/40-18 Nitto NT555RII drag radials out back. Also have the Raxiom Vector V2 LED tailights like yours but with the black housing and smoked lenses. I've destroyed many corvettes who wanted to play and didn't expect my girl to be upgraded, Even embarrassed a Ferrari when I was overseas and he didn't know what happened - was hilarious. My Mustang was featured in a UK Ford magazine called Performance Ford back in Jun 2007 edition where I got to thrash my Mustang on a decomissioned runway along with a bunch of other tuned Foci - they were fast as hell. The Brits take racing very seriously - that's why they're nicknamed 'gas can alley' according to urban legend. lol Keep up the good work, bro. Cheers
I appreciate your comment man. Keep doing what you’re doing. 💯💯
@@christianreyes368I got the braided line.. it made shifting smoother, but still getting locked out above 5k.. I just ordered the Che K member brace and torque limiter.. It’s said to work.
A fellow Vista Blue Mustang owner from the UK. Nice!
Do you have an Instagram I can follow you on? Would love to see more of your car, assuming you still have it. Cheers 👍
Hey, Your car looks super nice. I really like the silver wheels about 2 minutes into the video. Car looks really clean. What are the specs on the wheels and tires for that look?
Thanks! They’re Avid1 AV06’s 18x9.5 +38 all around with a 275/40/18 Nitto NT555 G2
I'm building a 3v mustang as well doing fbo hot rod cams full exhaust and 125 shot of nitrous with 3.73 gears my cars a 2010 5 speed manual
Good taste 👌
I have an 08 gt premium. Howard rattler cams, ford racing manifold, gt500 twin 60mm tb, jlt cold air, steeda underdrive pulleys, 1-3/4” longtubes cat/muffler delete, zex 150 shot Lito tune, 4.10 gears, hoping to do a 6r80 swap next. Right now it’s my second tr3650. Not sure what the car makes power wise but it’s gone 11.24 @ 121mph. I have all adjustable rear suspension upper and lowers panhard bar relocation brackets also. On motor I’ve beat several gen1 coyotes and on the bottle I’ve beat a lot of new cars. Can run right beside my buddies 21gt fbo 10spd on e85. Actually get out on him till I have to shift then I stay stuck to his door till I run out of gear at 130mph
125 goes very fast an isn't really needed. A 75 shot with them mods beats most cars on interstate rolls.
@@stevie9361 I started with a 75 shot. But it’s a whole different animal on that 150 😂
Hey man what are the silver wheels called? The one that you race with/ the ones you showed with your halo fog lights with too?
My silver wheels are a set of Avid.1 AV06 wheels in hyperblack. Thanks for checking out the video!!!
@@christianreyes368 thanks man. content is dope rn keep it up
Love the car, and I prefer the look of the 05-09 and the 3V sounds better ! Someone is always gonna be faster so who cares !! These early S197 sold so well Ford was able to use that money for the R&D of the coyote motor that would replace the out going 4.6 3V. So dog on them all you want they are a part of Mustang history !
Besides a lot of the Modular 3V is carried over to the Coyote
Hey this might be a crazy question but I have gt500 throttle body with the adapter plate on my 05 fbo mustang gt and you were saying in the video you lost power with your nitrous plate on the throttle body. Do you think my adapter is causing me a few hp? It’s got Detroit rocker cams and lt headers and frpp manifold with the gt500 throttle body and it put down 335 to the wheels
I wouldn’t be surprised. A 62mm throttle body with no spacer would help the most. But it would probably only be 5-10whp and it might be negligible on the street or track
I have a 2010 GT and was wondering what is a good deep sounding exhaust you would recommend
Sweet car! I have a 2009 GT automatic, love my car. I want to ask you for some help contacting Manuel (Lito), he's not responding to any of my emails. Could you please ask him if he will tune my car? Take care, and have a nice day.
So what's the total amount of money spent on mods plus installation?
I install everything myself so that was free haha. In terms of straight up power mods it’s only been like 4k worth of parts. Suspension was probably around the 2-3k mark too. Drivetrain from the clutch to the gears wasn’t more than about 2k. The nitrous kit was around $1200. I ended up spending more on suspension after I crashed cuz I rebuilt all of the suspension so everything minus the sway bars and rear upper control arm are brand new.
The 3V sounds great so can’t hate that! Only issue is when you go FBO they just don’t compare to a FBO coyote. My 13 GT puts down 430 wheel so unless you boost a 3V, it just can’t keep up. Not a fan of nitrous so when I say boost, I mean supercharger or turbo. Get a watts link
LOL I HAVE A 07 SHELBY GT AND I LOVE THE CAR IS IT AS FAST AS A 11 5.0 NO LOL BUT IT HANDLES GREAT AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO OWN A REAL SHELBY FOR NOT A CRAZY AMOUNT OF MONEY IT'S THE PERFECT CAR.I ALSO HAVE A 08 GT500 AND MY 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE AND MY GRABBER BLUE KENNY BELL COUPE SUPER SNAKE AND IN THE FUTURE I WANT TO ADD A 08 SHELBY GTSC AND THE GTSC CARS ARE VERY RARE AND THEY CAN DEFINITELY HANG WITH A 5.0 NEWER MUSTANG.
You mentioned Oregan Ridge... Maryland?.
Oregon Raceway Park is probably what I was referring to!
At 2:03, I love those wheels and tires combo. Please tell me what they are.
18x9.6 +38 Avid1 AV06’s! Got them on fitment industries
@@christianreyes368 Thank you!
That Ford performance intake manifold will make you loose bottom end unless your boosted
As you can see at the end of the video you are correct. I lost 14lbs of torque in the low to mid range but I made more horsepower in the top end and it allows me to rev out to 7k. I also have 4.10 gears now so I easily made up for the loss of torque. And tbh that loss of torque wasn’t even noticeable, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it weren’t for the dyno lol
So the 410s did make up the dif? Should I even get the ford intake manifold I’ve been debating hard for a month seen a lot of good and bad
@@christianreyes368 would really love your opinion I love your build
@@masonmaldonado5318 I’d say unless you plan on doing nitrous or a centrifugal supercharger like a Paxton, Vortech, or ProCharger, stick to the stock intake manifold. I rev out to about 7k rpm which this manifold allows me to do. The stock one was around 6500rpm. But the stock manifold with all other bolt ons, cams, and 4.10’s would be a very great setup too.
@@christianreyes368 Thanks a lot I think I might want that extra 500 rpm’s that helps a lot tho thank you
What internals to get it to 7k rpm?
I’d say long tube headers or shorty, CAI, Cam and a Ford Racing Intake Manifold
Internals are stock. The cams I have like the higher RPM’s and the headers and intake manifold I have also like higher RPM’s
@@christianreyes368 amen. I just customized my exhaust and love it. Got tired of hearing the same thing over and over.
Isn’t s197 years from 05-2014 so yours would be a s197??
That is correct!
How much nos where you running?
At the time, I hadn’t ran more than a 75 shot. But I don’t remember if I had sprayed it at the strip yet. However, around that season I went 12.2 w a 7t5 shot on radials, then 11.9 on slicks with a 75 shot also
hi
Tb spacer removed and lost 10 torque and they dont work? Wtfk?
No lol with the spacer there the car lost 10lbs of torque to the tires and 7whp. I might’ve worded it a little weird my bad. With the spacer removed it picked up those 10lbs of torque.
@@christianreyes368 ty. I planning to put holes on stock intake manifold and put on bug catcher open it at wot, so rammed air should go into combustion by force. At 64 mph, its 1 lbs of turbo lol.
Do you daily the drag pack wheels
I did for about three weeks. It’s horrible lol. Can’t take corners confidently. I daily it with my other wheel and tire combo and it’s much better.
" I slammed this car into a tree when it was snowing because I was driving on summer tires with no tread because...... I am foolish" Lmfaooo nah fr I put my 3V in a ditch trying to drift and show off to a girll after it had snowed the night before. FOOLISH
nature caught us both lacking lol
This stang cost at leat 50% more than any stock coyote with almost same power. Whats the point man?
I got this car for 10k. All these mods have made the total price to still be way less than a 2021 Mustang GT. And I can keep up with them without nitrous and beat them with just a 75 shot. Plus I autocross the car a lot and I’m typically the fastest Mustang out there during most events.
This stang Def don't cost 50% more than a coyote. You can get a decent 3v for 10k add the mods it's not even close to what even a gen 1 coyote would cost lol
Waste of money for what you get in return. The 4.6L always was puny when left NA.
Watch my videos where I consistently beat Scat Packs, hold off gen 3 5.0’s, and beat, if not hang with 400+whp cars all day. Also I wax pretty much every other domestic except for the GT350’s and Corvettes at autocross, and the GT350’s/500’s usually are the only Mustangs that beat me on road courses like ORP.
@@christianreyes368 LOL OK man, try that without the nitrous. Or don't, keep using that nitrous till you have a catastrophic engine failure. It's fine.
@@windwalker121 yeah thats all without nitrous lol. I’ve only ever raced my friend gen 3 with a 75 shot and that was after doing like 5 runs without it and still staying ahead up intil 120. Also nitrous won’t cause engine failure if you use it right lol this isn’t fast and furious
@@christianreyes368 Oooook. Make sure to post the video of your engine blowing!
@@windwalker121 you clearly don’t know how nitrous works. It’s not any more dangerous than boost. Do some research
