Ford Racing has the CJ Trigger Wheel (aka: High RPM Competition Pulse Ring) and CJ Intake Manifold in the works - stay tuned.

Aren't they fiberglass anyway? I love these cars.

2013s appear to be the regular production aluminum hood with louvers.

The 2013 hoods initially were planned to have all the bracing removed but we discovered some "oil-canning" during high speed testing that could result in the hood gently touching either the SC pulley or the top of the intake/throttle body. It was minor enough that it took numerous runs for us to notice the slight rubbing and high speed video to verify.

We went back to the Mustang GT hood with only a small amount of the bracing trimmed for better clearance to the throttle body on the 5.0L NA engine. The weight difference is 6-7lbs.

I cannot stress enough the importance of our testing to catch issues like this. We don't just build a race car, we engineer a Cobra Jet.

Good eye Kdanner.

Is it August yet???? Our car show that my Mustang car club is putting on is early August, suppose to pick up the BIW in mid-August then it's US Nationals time.

Bravo to all of the FRPP Team for executing a complex project. It's nice to see everyone's hard work come to fruition.
