Sean Kelley Readying For Street Assault At NMRA Spring Break Shootout…
From NMRA Digital:
Sean Kelley of Kelley Performance has had an assortment of fast street cars over the years, but not many of them come close to his 2012 Mustang GT in style and impressiveness. The best time for the Paxton-powered Mustang has been a 9.24 at 151 mph at 3,955 pounds. Kelley is thrashing at this moment to get ready for the Spring Break Shootout, sponsored by Baer Brakes and presented by Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, happening March 1-4, 2012. The car is currently at Matt Wirt Racefab getting a 10-point roll cage as Kelley expects to run right into the 8-second zone with his Coyote 5.0L-powered Mustang once on track for the first time this season. He will also take things one step further by driving his Mustang from his Virginia Beach home to the Spring Break Shootout in Bradenton, Florida—no trailer required for this 8-second ride!
Motivation for this street machine comes from a fortified short-block built by L&M Race Engines. Topping the 5.0L engine are JPC/RGR CNC-ported heads, stock camshafts, and a Boss intake manifold. Kelley has also added a JPC Racing Return-Style fuel system, Metco Fuel Rails, a Circle D torque converter (6R80 automatic transmission), and Brent Hughes, using SCT software, tuned it. Helping the 302ci in the horsepower department is a Paxton High Output NOVI 2200 supercharging system and an Induction Solutions direct-port fogger. At just 16 psi of boost the car produced 800 rwhp and 935 rwhp with a small 100hp shot from a single nozzle in the throttle body. The new Induction Solutions direct-port is expected to bring output to over 1,000 rwhp at just 16 psi of boost.
