Magnaflow's prototype 3-inch twin muffler exhaust system does the rest of the hot work, venting the spent gases in a manner befitting the Shelby name. A set of CPR billet high-flow fuel rails ensure that the injectors never run out of Rocket Brand 100 octane race fuel! JBA's short ceramic-coated headers boost torque through properly sized and joined runners, eliminating exhaust restriction. XMP custom-fitted braided steel hoses abound under the hood, joined by Fragola AN fittings. A Meziere electric water pump saves parasitic drag and maintains a constant flow of coolant through the Hose Techniques HD pipes, hoses and Fluidyne high-performance radiator. In Cenora's eyes, too much power is still not quite enough, so he added a Nitrous Express 3V Billet-plate fogger system, and their Ntercooler sprayer system for a bump in power and an increase in the efficiency of the intercooler system. Jason, however, wanted to own the most over-the-top Shelby on the planet, so let's dig deeper into the juicy details. If that were where this story stopped, he'd still have one impressive Mustang. Braking performance is as impressive as promised on this car, with the new calipers easily hauling this Stallion to a standstill repeatedly and without noticeable fade. Braided stainless steel hoses and proper piston sizing help the brake pedal retain the firm feel needed for sporty driving. Rear brakes receive the Eradi-speed treatment too, with the OEM calipers moving outward on new mounts in order to substantially increase brake torque. Behind them, crisply-finished Shelby/Baer calipers clamp 14-inch Baer Eradi-speed two-piece, cross-drilled and slotted rotors. A set of 20-inch Shelby Razor wheels and Falken FK452 high-performance tires fill the amply sized arches far better than the stock 17s ever could, while providing an interesting visual take on the traditional five-spoke design. The stock bar was designed by Ford for a specific ride height any changes will deliver dangerous side-loading forces to the bar, and result in erratic handling or worse, an accident if it fails. Since this is the first OEM panhard bar-equipped Mustang to leave Dearborn, folks may not know that an adjustable bar is REQUIRED on a lowered S197. This was paired with Progress' adjustable lower control arms and panhard bar, ensuring that, even with the proper lowered stance, his Pony's tail wouldn't be out of sorts.

"Having a dyno sheet in order to PROVE the power this car actually makes helps set us apart from others, who often 'claim' high numbers." On an added note the 486 and 419 didn't include the full shot of nitrous.Ĭenora made a few calls to source a worthy suspension for his Shelby and came up with a full coil-over system from Progress Technology. Ford Racing EV1-style fuel injectors and Diablosport Tuning ensure that the mill makes the most of the 14 pounds of boost, producing dyno-proven numbers of 486.69 horsepower and 419.45 foot-pounds of torque at 6,000 RPM on the rollers. Designed by Shelby Automobiles and built by Shelby Distribution USA, the heart of the package centers around a Paxton high-output fully-polished Novi 2200R with a 3.12-inch pulley (Jason's CS8 runs more boost than the 'stock' CS8 receives) and a two-bolt race blow-off valve. 'Relatively,' in this case meaning the entire $15-grand CS8 package.

Jason's boss, Hillbank's owner Lance Stander, snagged prototype numero uno, but has left that car relatively stock. Never one to let a good thing go to waste, Shelby took the appearance package of the CS6 and cranked the volume knob up to "11" by applying it to a 3-valve 4.6-powered 'Stang. This car is a prototype, the second in fact, for Carroll Shelby's new CS8 program. If you're scratching your head about that last sentence, you did read that right.
