Why did you use a GM alternator? Higher AMP?

  • Install new Frontline Fabrication rear diff cover (pics coming soon)
  • Install Lexan Front Windshield
  • Alignment and Corner Balance
  • Tune on the Mustang Dyno
I had to make a custom bracket with the correct offset for the GM alternator. I also ran some AN lines from the dipstick tube and balance shaft inspection hole to the catch cans. Here’s some more pictures and a start-up video.
Enjoy

i gotta tell ya these pics don't do this car justice, to see the workmanship put into this car, there is no wonder he clicks off 8s, and to many to count as busy as BPs shop has been, i'm sure its been hard to put the finishing touches on the RED DEMON ! but i'm sure it will be worth the wait, car looks amazing

Its great!! Ignition timing by definition is based on crank. If you're reading it off of the cam, you're already at a disadvantage. When there is any timing belt deflection, ignition timing is advanced which is not good at all. Putting the sensor on the crank gets rid of this issue. If you're on a AEM EMS, go with the 12 tooth trigger. The AEM EMS is designed to see 12 triggers per revolution; the stock sensor only give it 2 triggers (4 if you count the rising and falling edge of the trigger). Either way the stock sensors resolution is not the best for a AEM EMS car. If you have any other questions PM me.

The voltage regulators are much better in the GM units and hold voltage all the way to redline without dropping off.

Update!!

The car is completely finished and ready to rock!! After being on the dyno once so far, we made a couple of changes and came up with 936 AWHP! Last year the car made 860 AWHP and trapped 170 mph, so we should definitely have some fun with 936 AWHP.

We brought the car out to the track this past Friday night with Joey and his "Junk Box" Evo 9. Joey ended up running an 8.98 @ 167 mph! His goal has been an 8 second pass, and to help him accomplish it was thrilling to say the least. Everything went great with my car. It came out like an animal and cut a 1.3 60ft without breaking a sweat, until the clutch started slipping in 2nd and 3rd. The Demon still went 6.1 in the 1/8 but only @ 89 mph. I’m going to look into the clutch issue this week and have the car back out next weekend.
  • Some other details I’ve taken care of include installing the Frontline Fabrication diff cover. The machining on this cover is second to none; super nice quality. The cover allows for preloading the differential bearing caps to eliminate ring gear deflection.
  • I also fabricated some stops for the shifter. I was bending cables, breaking shifters, and bending the shifter arm on the trans last year, and needed to come up with a solution. This way the shifter bottoms out long before the cables get damaged.

After having some problems with the clutch the 1st time out this year, I decided to not launch the car for the first pass and just take it though the gears, it got a little sideways in 2nd. The Demon trapped 167mph, the clutch was flawless, and after that I was really excited to make a full pass.

The next pass was my first full pass in 2012. The Demon spun the tires hard in 1st, and I hit the rev limiter between 2nd and 3rd. The car ran 8.48 @ 171.3 MPH.
More to come, stay tuned!!
Enjoy

WOW the car is flying Devin!

Congrats on the run and I'm sure the car has more in it but not bad for the first full pass of 2012 LOL.

Do you know the current weight of the car as it sits now compared to last year?

Thanks

Thanks Andrew!!
The car weights in @ 2350

Had a great time at the MAP proving grounds. We had great weather and I meet a lot of new people Still working on getting the boost by vehicle speed dialed in though 1st and 2nd gear. I'm spinning hard though 2nd and I know its killing my E.T. @ the 330.
