starting issues when hot
 
my stang starts right up and runs great but after running for like 30-45 minutes and u shut it off it wont start for about 30 minutes it sounds like the battery is dead but if u let it sit for about 30 minutes it will start right up i was thinkin that my long tubes r heat soakin my starter

Hook up a draw meter. Sounds like your starter is screwed.

kudos on what matt said, i have a mini starter and kinda on the same lines a similiar prob but i believe my 1990s battery needs to be replaced

TFI's are known to go bad as well with heat. Once they cool down engine will start, just another thing to check

TFI module wouldn't make the car feel as if it had a dead battery when he was attempting to start it. Heater soak will do this, though.
