For the second test car to be built, we choose a 2012 Boss 302 owned by Kyle. Alpha 2 is the 3rd car to be built and the second manual car. This completes the development phase of the project and allows us to move to the production phase. Everything with Alpha 2 went extremely smooth ...
Before Sean made the trip down to pick up Alpha 1, we decided to take the car to Palm Beach International Raceway here in South Florida. While dyno numbers are a good indication of what you have, we didn’t build these cars to sit in the corner with a dyno sheet on the hood. But ...
The Twin Turbo 5.0 Alpha 1 test car has been completed and has hit the dyno. This is a stock Coyote 5.0 with billet oil pump gears. The Turbo system is our base system with an upgraded intercooler tank and injectors. We are really excited to have 2 of these cars built already. Sean’s car ...
While we work to finalize the Twin Turbo System for the 2011+ Mustang 5.0 platform, it’s very important for us to do as much testing as possible. To help with this, we are building a couple of pre-production test cars. Obviously our prototype car has performed flawlessly at both the drag strip and the Texas ...
When we started this project less than one year ago, we had some very specific goals for the performance of this Turbo System. We wanted to design a system that would scale from a stock vehicle to a highly modified vehicle with very little changes. The results on the stock engine were very promising (10.23@139) ...
It has been quite a March for the Twin Turbo 5.0. First we went to Bradenton and ran a stellar 9.42@150 and then headed to the Texas Mile this last weekend. We decided not to use any tape or any special launch methods including boost control to see if we could break the 200 MPH ...
Just got back from the NMRA Bradenton event this weekend, and things could not have gone better. I’d like to give a huge thanks to Jake Long and Jon Lund-two of the best guys to partner with on a project like this. I’d also like to give a special thanks to Michael at L&M Engines ...
The new L&M Engines is in and running! The new setup features an all new shortblock with billet rods and L&M pistons at 11:1 compression. It also has Boss heads, custom L&M camshafts that retain variable cam timing and a Boss intake. Then new engine fired up on the first try and we didn’t have ...
While the development car is getting all the upgrades and new engine, I wanted to switch gears for a moment and show off some of what is going into the development of the production kit. We are not only trying to bring the best kit to market, but we are also trying to do it ...
I have some very interesting stuff to share with you guys this time. As you know, Michael from L&M Engines is handling the build for the Twin Turbo 5.0 project. I’m sure many of you know about L&M as a great builder, but many might not know the background of the owner, Michael Rauscher. Michael ...
