New Here
I've been in and out of these forums quite a bit over the past year, looking for answers to questions and such...but now I'm at a point where I think I'll need to post some queries of my own.
So, here's what I have...
My first Mustang...a 2000 Convertible GT.
Modified (performance-wise) with:
-Hooker Long Tube Headers
-Hooker O/R X-Pipe
-Magnaflow straight-through mufflers and tips
-Steeda ECU
-Steeda short-throw
-BBK 78mm throttle body and upper plenum
-Anderson Motorsport Cold Air Intake
-3.73 Gears
-60lb Injectors
-Vortech V-2 SC Trim Supercharger
(sold the supercharger recently to pay for the next car...)
1999 SVT Cobra.
DSS Supermodular 5L all aluminum, race prepped block with 10.1:1 compression. Assembled with FR500 4V heads.
I've dropped the engine into the bay and mounted it (car was sold with no original engine...and coupled with this new engine, still in the shipping box.
This Cobra project is the reason I joined the forums here, so I'll be posting questions on here shortly...
Sorry for the long intro, but thanks for the read.

Thanks everyone.
Here's the plan for the Cobra...(the GT has seen better days)
Quad turbo, remote mounted, with a goal of 1000+ RWHP.
The crate engine is worth 5-600 N/A, and is built to stand up to 1500HP.
It'll require a gas tank relocation to the trunk, two custom air/water inter coolers (already designed them), and door modification to accommodate the plumbing. Exhaust will be Long Tube Headers feeding the first bank of turbines, with wastegates and turbine exhaust leading into an offroad X-Pipe, with Y-fittings at both front ends, wastegates along both rear ends.
End result would be 4 4" exhaust tips. Outer two from the larger turbines and inner two from the wastegates.
Any experts?
