Sweet! I wish my wife wouldnt care if i spent that kinda loot Sounds like a nice setup, u running 1/4 mile or driver or both? I had a maverick grabber with manual steering, sucked when your trying to park in a tight spot. have you already got the sub-frame connectors? and maybe some battle boxes while your throwin money around :P That kinda power and you'll need at least some extra welds where the boxes would go. and maybe a pan hard bar for the rear if your gonna drag with it alot. Just a few thousand .02c

let me refraze, my wife cares that im spending, just doesnt appreciate what it is, but she has no choice, sold my cannondale that i havnt touched in 2yrs, and sold 4k worth of rc car stuff, just to finish my stang that has been sloooooowwwwwly being build up over the last 9 yrs. i have subframes, battle box's never thought of that. this is not a daily driven car, i have a mazda 3 for my daily driver, its not a pure drag car, but drag is more important than cornering ability, i wont give up total streetability though, i do have a question that looking at the engine compartment, after i dump the power steering pump with the ac already gone how will i rout the belt to fit still run the water pump?

Heh, I had an '04 Mazda3 before my stang. It was Solar Yellow. It doesn't have shat on the stang.
Alteast you have money to build up your stang. Hopefully you get all the parts that you paid for and can get em to fit right.

Your gonna need an idler pulley in place of the a/c. At least that's how I worked it out. I don't see any other way unless you turn the accessories the wrong way. Or if it's not your DD look into underdrive pullies. That might solve the problem of the belt. Maybe.
