Been a looonnnggg time!
Well its been a busy summer with me working 5-10s out in Colorado, but I've only got a couple weeks left so its getting better . The mach 1 has gotten all of its old goodies back on (I parted it out trying to sell it over winter), with the addition of some new parts. The biggest changes are: Bling factor under the hood, SLP headers / x pipe, Cobra sideskirts, and a PROCHARGER :headbang: ( not yet installed).
The Procharger kit is a fully polished D1 kit, with the 3 core sheetmetal intercooler, and will only be pullied to 8-9psi until I can get a full forged motor in the car. I've already got the fuel pumps, extra oil, boost gauge, etc so all I really need is to get back to Kansas, move into my new place, and get the thing on the car (and get re-tuned). Im shooting for 410-430 at the wheels max with a really conservative tune so my shortblock will live for a while. All said and done, I hope to have the car running and tuned by the end of August.
Here are some current pics of the stang, and some of the things i've gotten done to it lately.
Lots ofbling- not quite as much go stuff.
Also since my last post (like 7 months ago lol)I got all the exhaust stuff installed and took it for a tune at MC Racing in Kansas City, KS and it put down 316rwhp / 327rwtq. I also got to run it once at Heartland Park, Topeka and put down a 13.2 @ 107.5 - this was with H pipe, catback, and 4.10 gears- BEFORE the tune, intake, and exhaust so i would certainly hope its a high 12 car now. Thanks for looking and its good to be back!
I'll try and keep this thread alive as I make more progress with future mods, and especially the procharger install. Thanks for lookin!

Good luck with the procharger build. sounds like you have some big plans for it. love the "bling" factor under the hood. that coolant reservoir is hot. valve covers too. im jealous.[:'(]
