I have 2 cars and the before pics I don't have for one of them and that is the one we drive.
R-Block
3.00 Eagle forged steel crankshaft
Scat 5.4 rods H beam
Je custom pistons set up for Large Amounts of boost
TFS TW heads Ported
Edelbrock RPM old style intake with the lower cleaned up
Cammotion Turbo grind camshaft hyd. roller
Moroso 7qt oil pan and HV oil pump
PMAS mass air
some custom one off T/B not sure who made it but it works very well 75MM
Cartech Outlaw turbo kit with a 80 MM turbo
Old Ford EPEC ECM program using it as stand alone to run the car
83# hr injectors
C4 with a 3800 stall converter.
Aluminum Drive shaft Ford Racing
Chassis Engineering Sub Frame connectors
Competition engineering Roll bar welded in
Chassis Engineering Rear control arms upper and lower
Summit rear end girdle
Strange 33 spline axles and Spool with There C clip eliminators
3.31 rear gears yes 3.31s
Weld wheels all the way around. with 265 /60/15 DR on rear.
battery in rear
Aeromotive fuel pump and regulator
Braided lines from the tank to the front
Cartech billet Fuel rails
Paxton fuel pick up in tank.
All the basic gauges Autometer
VDO Recall tach with shift light
Harwood cowl hood.
3in X pipe with Moroso mufflers & dumps
Strange 10 way adj. struts and 3 way drags on the rear.
I do all my own work from the build of the engine to the trans,rear and tune. I even painted the car. Welded the roll bar. SO that is one of the main reasons I can do this stuff. As far prices go I think we did the math a few years ago and it was right around the 15,000 range for this car includes the cost of the car. that is Buying parts used when we can and there is alot of used on it. The other car we wont get into but it is more of a race/street car if and when I get it done. But the real work and money is over there.

I dont have any stock pics of the car uploaded, but I do have a sexy stock engine pic:



I bought it for $2800 in 2007. It was stock with 10 hole rims. The only mods were a broken coil spring and an exhaust leak. I switced the T5 to a C4, did the rear, suspension, etc. Still has the stock bottom end, 170cc heads, and an Erson camshaft. Plate kit with "100" shot pills in it ran 7.1x at 97 mph in the 1/8th.

These pics are not recent. It now has 4' front rims, smoked headlights, and a Kaenen hood is on the way
