the drop of almost 90 hp n tq was because of me going to the auto and also my converter which is now stalled for 4800 is a non lock up so theres nothing ever solid through the driveline its always slipping so you lose 10% with the non lock up and another 10 to 12% with the auto over my 5 speed. dyno numbers are only numbers as i see it now. Don walsh my tuner who won the pro5.0 class for 3 years in a row was running mid to high 6's with only 1300 at the wheels he was using a bruno so its kinda like an automatic yet a stick at the same time. accroding to him "People thought i was crazy telling them thats all the power it made, most guys need 2500+ to run those times, so dont worry about the numbers". Funny thing about the "straight track car" is the guy that sponsors/lets me use his shop is a road racer lol

Thats what you need right there! 106mm turbo. Thats a local fox... he runs 8's right now, he drives it on the streets pretty regularly too. At the e85 shootout for 5.0 mustang magazine he ran a 10.00 @ 0 mph. He crossed the 1/4 with his rear tires first, his car flipped around and he hit the sensor so it didn't register a speed lol.

Very nice car though! gonna be cool to see what it does after college

Thats quite a turbo right there, looks like one of the ones on my dads peterbuilt 17.6L

Nice little scrapbook you have there. I love reading though the build threads, until I remember that I don't have any money to drop on the stang right now, bleh. Sick build

off the top of my head, she needs new rear window motors, new weatherstripping, a headliner, new springs, either new control arms or new quad shocks... they are focked...

I've actually saw your car a few times. I used to live in garden city and you started building that car when my dad and I built our 86. I'm pretty sure it was right when you started building your car. Looks awesome man.
