I wish I could afford that twin kit and forged internals. I'm looking at getting their single kit though. Have you had a good expierence with them?
Yes Jim Napier from TurboHorsepower has been great to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking about a turbo setup. I’m sure his single kit will be just as well thought out and assembled as my twin setup.

Other then the forged rotating assembly are you doing other engine modifications? Cams, Heads? Are you sticking with the 4.6 or are you increasing the displacement with a stroker kit?

No just the forged 4.6 bottom end. I may do the heads at a later date but I don't really think so. I will make more than enough HP with this setup as is to satisfy me.

Can you send me $20,000 so I can do a setup like yours?

[align=left]I wonder if this will effect the warrantee? LOL, (Sorry I just couldn't resist!) Really looks awesome, can't wait to see how it turns out. Best of luck with the project.

No I don’t think so there are lots of 05+ Stangs faster then I will be. I am not building a race car just a fun toy for me to enjoy. I don’t want to put in a roll bar so I will be limited to 11.49 at the track.

Well things are progressing here are some more shots. How do you guys like the way the cam covers turned out? Also a shot of the painted PA tranny cover.
