RE: My Vader mobil.
hmm, thats strange? Hellion is located here about 5 miles from me, and I'll be running at 10 pounds on forged internals. Well, it's cool that it's been done before, there's always someone faster.

RE: My Vader mobil.
Wow that looks great, but with all that slick black, I would think you would get the side mirrors painted too to match. Just my thought.
Oh and I second on the cobra badge, but to each his own, and you at least seem willing to take the thoughts to heart. Want to hear more about the turbo once it's installed though. You have any forged internals or anything else like that in there for it?

10psi on forged internals.....grrrr I'm sooo fricking jealous. Who's doing the rods and pistons for you (and can I ask how much for fabrication and installation? I need internals for mine but I'm getting them a few months after my first set of mods, gotta save up for em hehe)

RE: My Vader mobil.
The perfect badge to replace your Cobra badges would be a Darth Vader helmet in chrome or brushed. I haven't been able to find one online yet, but there's got to be one out there. Anyone else seen one? That would be the absolute topper on your beautiful car.

RE: My Vader mobil.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. On the forged internals, speed dreams of albuquerque is doing all my work. I'd love to be able to give details, but it's still in the process. I'm really debating on taking the badges off though. Cost 200 bucks for em! Oh well. It's deffinetely not a shelby, but I'm told, with this setup, I should be getting some great numbers. I'm not a racer or anything, just like to soop up my cars. If anybody has some feedback on whether I should get pinstripes or not, I'd really appriciate it. Much respect for all. Thanks

RE: My Vader mobil.
dump the poser Cobra emblems and keep it all black.
I dont't think anyone can estimate your ETs from your planned upgrades. It should be fast. If you push 550 horse you will be in the low 11s with a 3.73 gear. I don't know if you need a stall speed. It may cause you to lose traction out of the hole.
There are several cars running very low tens on the stock automatic tranny. Traction will be hard to get.
I do not run a stall speed in my auto Mustang and it launches pretty hard when I torque it to 2100 RPM. Kenne Bell did not recommend stall speed with their blower.
