Default claire, not your average girl!

Hello folks!
My name is Claire. I am originally from honduras, english being my second language. I am 20 years old and current major in college international policy.
I own 2006 V6 convertible. I am currently in the process of building the entire car up to a turbo V8. I do all of my work myself, including custom work and advanced mechanical work. I am building my 4.6 from scratch and putting it in all myself . I am building aluminum cobra block (teksid) with stock 3v internals. My grandfather always loved mustangs and I have owned 4 different mustangs.
I will probably open a thread for my build, it is very interesting!

Don't use stock 3V internals with a turbo.

Yeah, you'll definitely want forged internals in that thing. The general consensus is roughly 475 HP max on stock internals. Some will say more or less and it definitely depends on how good your tune is, but I assume you're looking at a fair bit more with a custom turbo build. Otherwise, welcome!
