Yea, Don does know now. Mark clarified things up a bit with a little insider info. Just seemed a little odd the pics that Don took being posted by someone that sounds as though he knew Don, yet Don has not spoken to you. But it's all good.

EDIT - and thanks for the clarification on the teksid. Is it the same weight as the 4.6? Why wouldn't everyone want to use it if it is cheaper & stronger at the same weight?

nope. that's not what we said.
How come those two tech wizards don't work on their own cars?

RE: Awesome built motors goin in!
That would be a good question but since they are banned we can't ask them.
Hawgman - I got a #10 pulley but I need some more mods before I'm comfortable with it. I currently have the #8 and I'm around 420 rwhp on a 91 tune and 460 on a VP109 tune with a little timing. I have the #39 injectors and need to get a BAP.
EDIT - and making jabs at banned members who can't answer or reply seems kind of pointless IMO.

You can tell mikehawke this from me:
"I do in fact work on my own car. I have done a lot of the work myself. But, I'm also smart enough to know I'm not an engine builder nor a tuner. And I don't own a transmission shop. Also, rear gears/differential work does not fall in the DIY category for me. I'll leave that stuff to the pros. But I've done practically everything else myself (or with help from a friend). Feel free to peruse the full mod list here: http://www.2005stang.com/gallery/alb...20LIST%7E0.doc , Once you subtract what I just said I had the shop do, maybe you can figure out how much was done in my home garage."

I do a lot of my own work on my car but leave tuning/engine work/trans work to a professional. Only a moron would attempt to do a full rebuild on an S197 by himself. Adam at ST does A LOT of my work but certainly not all of it. What I don't do myself, and what Adam is not a pro at, I get done where it needs to be done by who it needs to be done by. I have built 1600 hp engines but do I even touch a bolt on any of our dragsters? Hell no - Norm Grimes does and why? Because he is the best. (6 national championships in 8 years says so)

I started to get a race gas tune just ran out of time that perticular day, and haven't had the time to get back there yet. With mine making over 440 on 8lbs on a 93 tune, I would hope to be north of 460 on 109. I might go do that once I finish my fuel system upgrades. I too have the 10lb itch. Dropping in GT500 pumps and a BAP to keep it in fuel because I know once I get the 10lb pulley on there it will definitely start running out in the upper RPM range. Right now I feel pretty darn lucky that I can hold 40psi all the way to redline at WOT.
