Default Let me introduce my car

I posted this info in another thread... just found this board (as you can tell from my 10 posts in 2 days) and I have to say I enjoy it! Anyway, wanted to introduce my car... I was trying for a somewhat old-school look for a modern mustang... puts 400 horse power and about the same torque to the rear wheels, which seems a bit lame so far, but... anyway, it is far from done, and has its problems, but overall, hope it is up to standards!

you need to open up the head get it ported so its more free flowing, also you dont have cam and your cam can only push so much its probably restricting you, your head is probly the restricter is why it may feel underpowered, open that head up and i gauruntee you and extra 65 or 70 horsepower
