My 1500 HP Shelby GT500 was the same way! When my car ran at the Texas mile we lost traction all the way through 140 MPH and still ran 227 MPH. Definitely changed up the drivability and turned the HP down for the streets. You wouldn’t believe how much faster you can be just by gaining traction over HP.
When stepping up to a big money standalone engine management solution like Motec. The game moves to another level. It was great listening to Jay to a rundown on what it offers especially as far as power management goes.
I'm trying to get a build like this. I fixed up a 2008 GT500, but that won't really do this kind of horsepower so I'm looking for a 2014 GT500 as my base and I'll get started on some of the modifications that I've seen from this channel! I need to find a machinist to help me achieve this goal though by porting the heads/lower intake. Thanks once again for making these videos as I get to see what goes on with the different little bits and pieces that all go together to make a car like this work.
The right build can do this with a 5.4. The world record standing mile ford GT made north of 3,000 hp after John Mihovetz prepared the factory block and heads to achieve that feat. Al Papitto used to build these as well.
I agree with Randy V. My favorite hands down. I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH THIS SMASH STREETSPEED. That would be the best thing to see. There is no better car on this platform, youtube, considering what it is, meaning, perfect in all the ways. Street, strip, cruise etc..
@@floki1664 its not all about speed my friend. Sure theres a ton of ways to go fast. As a mustang enthusiast, this particular car is just so awesome. That's my opinion though.
Incredible…. Always been one of my favorite cars/ years of Mustang ….. technology today…. It’s a good time to enjoy fast cars… short of the EPA. Your car is cool AF. Enjoy it . I’ll joy watching your follow-up videos
HEELLLLL YEAH!!! NOW ITS TIME TO BEAT SOME ASS!!LOL😂😂🤣👌👌👍🤘🤙🤜🤛 get out there and line up some races . Cant wait to see what that bad boy takes down ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow it looks like you have your El Choppo able to be street race ready with some personal tweeks and not spin @ 130 mph, this is a awesome setup and make it fun to drive again.
I absolutely LOVE the 15" wheels on the back. I would love to be able to get 15" wheels front and rear for a Mustang, with BF Goodrich RWL Radial T/As on them. That would be one beautiful car. The huge GHETTO REEHUUM/no tire thing just doesn't cut it.
It's so crazy to see this car with such good drivability and actually hookin and bookin! Definitely way safer which is very important too. Happy to see you really enjoying this car. It's been quite the journey and awesome to see👍
Dude on that one pull, I've never seen your eyes that big, when you said that was your fastest 60-130. You definitely need to set up a run with streetspeed.
I'd love to see a price breakdown video of the motec, install and tuning! I've always been super interested in ECU upgrades for mustangs but have absolutely no clue what that kind of upgrade costs. It seems to to be pretty much the ultimate upgrade you can do to a car.
I thought that was you leaving the other day I work right down the street from real street and you pass by my job is like huh there goes mustang lifestyle
So your telling me he basically figured out how to make this car act like a turbo car with a boost controller? So you can have a 600 setting, a 800, 1000, 1200, then a 1350 setting? That’s wild.
You should do a custom side exit exhaust on that snake or find a Borla, Corsa magmaflow side exit exhaust that would be nice and make it more efficient to receive more power and acceleration and help get all burnt fumes out quicker.
Great build. I would highly suggest putting 4:10 gears in that vehicle just due to it being a heavier car and the gears being extremely long. Your leaving a lot of acceleration on the table and with that motec it would be a perfect marriage.
@@MustangLifestyleTV it has 3-31 gears from the factory and it’s a double overdrive and your probably doing 120 in 3rd gear. Your are losing boost and acceleration when you shift because they thing is falling off due to gearing. Plus that’s a damn near 4K lb car with you in it. 4:10 gears will give you a mechanical advantage and with that traction control you can take advantage of it. Trust me it will be night and day. It should also put you into the top of 4th gear through the quarter which is what you want. Even with that power you are going to get gapped by less powerful cars not only cause you have a manual but because the gearing and the weight the vehicle. Trust me mine makes just as much power as yours but in a 2990 lbs street car but it runs mid 7’s and cuts 4’s through the 1/8 mile with 3:55 gears through a 4l80e with a manual valve body. And we are still sorting out the setup.
Lmao still remember when you first got it after selling the 03 cobra and saying you didnt want to do much to it cause E85 was a hassle to get lmao look where we're at now
Hey I talked to a company in Australia about sequential shifter that will bolt on the tr6060 for my Shelby it’s a little pricey I might try to get on next year
@@gregoryjowers3629 saw a well known drift TH-cam lose the on the great escape show because she couldn't get it in reverse under pressure. All the players in the show said it was a good shifter unless you want to go into reverse quickly.
Just wondering on cost ball park for your mods and would you be willing to share the mods sheet with me. I live in Connecticut and am looking to destroy the competition out here.
Hey Andrew I met you at Buc-ees in Loxley Alabama and see you have lost a lot of weight you look so much healthier. If you don't mind me asking if you're on the Keto diet?
@@MustangLifestyleTV yes sir I went from 278 to 220 in 6 months on keto strict keto but gained 40 lbs back after getting off. Just started it again. So disappointed in myself.
Like I said before my supersnake is 900hp and on the street it's nuts fast and it's hard to hook but 1352hp is just too much for the street. It's like thinking my 900hp plus a Terminator power on top of my 900hp.THAT'S CRAZY TOO THINK.I even think my 07 427 convertable supersnake is fast with roughly 650hp and it is lol the power numbers today are nuts.
@@MustangLifestyleTVThanks Andrew. Very impressed! I didnt want to upgrade horsepower for all the same reasons you experienced...but this standalone ECU changes everything. Keeping all your interior and console all factory is exactly what I was looking for...awesome!

Hello, can you please what you are using for street suspension? Thanks.
Choppo is nasty! Congrats on getting healthy. I’m on my weight loss journey as we speak, down almost 30lbs with a lot more to go.💪🏾
Bad ass ..

The Motec has really made the car. The investment is worthwhile and nessary.
Dude, you have the coolest mustangs/ shelbys ever. Hands down

yeah the 5.4 the gt500 has is pretty fucking gooddddd mannn just a little heavy
This guy explained motec perfectly, thanks lol
Traction control by the throttle blade … never EVEN. Heard of that !
Great video !

I'd like to see him run Naterider. Lmao
is thing can’t hook streetspeed would smash it easily
That should all get together and do a racing tournament including loser bracket
Still my favourite car on TH-cam, and i watch all the big car channels. Such a nasty build Andrew.

@@floki1664 you truly have no idea what your talking about.
dam i literally listened to jay explain that whole motec system, dope video
Best video yet on the GT500
That shelby is a Fn monster and sounds like the executioner is coming. You handle it like a champ bro... Nice AF.
Excellent video explaining the benefits of the Motec system! Great investment!

HEELLLLL YEAH!!!
NOW ITS TIME TO BEAT SOME ASS!!LOL😂😂🤣👌👌👍🤘🤙🤜🤛 get out there and line up some races . Cant wait to see what that bad boy takes down ❤❤❤❤❤
By far the most exciting car on TH-cam!!
Yeah I’d love to see this at a race motive event with everyone else
Wow welcome back GT500! Thanks 😊
Love it, I could see the tunnel vision in your eyes.
Stuff that is this clean i really dig. Hats off to Motec and real st. This is going to be so enjoyable Andrew . Good luck.
The CHOPP is back! Love it.
This motec system is awesome Brother!!!
Wow it looks like you have your El Choppo able to be street race ready with some personal tweeks and
not spin @ 130 mph, this is a awesome setup and make it fun to drive again.
Glad you’re enjoying it man! Way better than my old ms3 👀😂
So awesome to see driving the ish outta that thing again buddy!!
Oh god is right, that thing is a MONSTER! I literally laughed out loud man, unbelievable!
As another person with an S197, this excites me!
One bad ass mustang happy for you dude.

You've lost a lot of weight since ur 03 cobra. I'm proud!
Omg it stayed straight el choppo back in businesses boyy
Dude on that one pull, I've never seen your eyes that big, when you said that was your fastest 60-130. You definitely need to set up a run with streetspeed.
I think Street speed is a low four 60 to 130 Andrews got a long way to go
Dang is he really, I didn't realize Mikes car was that fast. I mean I know its fast but dam low 4s 60-130, thats getting it
@@11B_GRUNT it's a vette with well over 1000 at the tire of course its fast.
I'm a simple man... I see El Choppo I click like. Its that easy.
This is fantastic.
I hope to see this car in person some day.
The motech sounds like the way to go
So happy for you brotha
Could listen to Jay all day , very cool
Wow can't wait to see some races with this
Such a sick car. 🔥🔥🔥

If ya gotta wonder how much then it’s probably to much
@@robertgoodman4430 What a stupid thing to say
About 3-5k for just the ecu. Gonna cost a lot more to actually get it to run
Yes please
@@deanojet2991 There's actually quite a bit of truth to that statement.
Miss this car for sure!!
I thought that was you leaving the other day I work right down the street from real street and you pass by my job is like huh there goes mustang lifestyle
Turbo bullet 2v I can’t wait to get things started
What cams are in your gt500 in this video Andrew??
Mhs stage 3 cams
Would love to talk to you about cost/experience with this entire motec upgrade if possible. I’m in pretty much the exact same boat as you with my car.
I would like to know as well. Possibly make a video about it?
So your telling me he basically figured out how to make this car act like a turbo car with a boost controller?

Do you know how a supercharger works?
El choppo has came a long way.
I love this car but I like when they spin
Great build. I would highly suggest putting 4:10 gears in that vehicle just due to it being a heavier car and the gears being extremely long. Your leaving a lot of acceleration on the table and with that motec it would be a perfect marriage.
I think 4.10 is too steep for 1350whp

Lmao still remember when you first got it after selling the 03 cobra and saying you didnt want to do much to it cause E85 was a hassle to get lmao look where we're at now
That didn't last long lol
Definitely need to take it to TX2K

Today is the big day turbo bullit
no prep guys would love this new motec traction control

So the motec would do a better job with a turbo I am taking it.

Going to be lit!
Very very nice, can't wait to see more
Who is your recommendation for MoTec install and tuning in Florida?
Well done car, Andrew.

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW , you can tell by the look on Andrews face that fucker was moving 😂 . Love it bro 😎
That’s scary power bro lol but once you get used to it your gonna want more😂
How much has the whole build cost including the motec system?
Tht thing sounds amazing
Informative video, thanks.
That car is flat out mooovviinn
Hey Andrew I met you at Buc-ees in Loxley Alabama and see you have lost a lot of weight you look so much healthier. If you don't mind me asking if you're on the Keto diet?

@@MustangLifestyleTV yes sir I went from 278 to 220 in 6 months on keto strict keto but gained 40 lbs back after getting off. Just started it again. So disappointed in myself.
Isnt traction control controlled by wheel speed the best?
Will this beat a 1400 whp gtr?
What hp can a stock motor 11 gt500 handle?
Can you adjust the RPMs like he was showing on the video on a 2020 mustang premium GT with it being bone stock?

You need to race that guy from the plaid channel he is real cocky! I love for him to get a taste of his own medicine with a real motor!! 😉
Are you putting a cage in choppy?
Would love to watch this race against a plaid
Bro you need a cage in that beast!!
looked fast af at setting #7..gotta be minimum 7k for 1 of them motecs im thinking..
More
I wish your old terminator would've gotten the built engine and ecu it deserved 😥
Will you be racing her in the track or mostly show car?
Did the motec run you about $6000?
Congrats Andrew. Is this what you just had installed (Motec 150 PNP S197 2011-14 GT500 Mustang) If not what model is it.
Yes contact Michael Thomas at real street with questions
@@MustangLifestyleTVThanks Andrew. Very impressed! I didnt want to upgrade horsepower for all the same reasons you experienced...but this standalone ECU changes everything. Keeping all your interior and console all factory is exactly what I was looking for...awesome!
Dude. Seeing that look on your face tells me this car is FUCKING SCARY FAST!
oh my sweet lord
Is this a 5.8 or a 5.4? very nice car :)
I have a stock 2010 any suggestions..
Interesting as hell
Where and when is fl2k
Dame it if u have tht much HP u should race strange mode to see who’s got the faster GT 500
Motec would definitely win imo
Andrew dude you lost a shit ton of weight bruh! Getting ready for that wedding huh?!? Haha I mean race season, yeah race season
Definitely race season haha
