Finally got the car back from the shop. Took it out this weekend at a meet. here are some pics from yesterday.










got the car tuned. here's some numbers for the curious folks. lol.



mods:
Garrett gt45r, fmic, custom SSA turbo mani w/ dual tial gates, 4" dump, tial bov, hargett (sp?) couplers, custom oil catch can, B&M oil cooler, aem fic, HKS EVC 6 boost controller, relocated battery to the trunk and lots of chrome goodies.

the boost is set at 8-12psi for safety until I can get the tranny built. It has a lot more power to make, but I'm happy as it is now.

The car is very quiet as if its still stock, runs smooth and pulls hard.

Enjoy the pics.

I thought you repainted it black at first. Engine work looks great! You should make a video.

Looks great inside and out.

I can appreciate a lot of the effort involved to build up the engine, get real power and look good at the same time.




What type of work will you be doing to beef up the tranny?

gotta show the manifold welds, all the small details that went into this build is amazing. Also for those that don't know, Mustang Dyno #'s are pretty accurate and display lower than most other dyno's....so a dynojet would show 20% more HP....nice work!
