Blower is off of the Roush, but it's still faster than the 351W.

I know, I just never really knew what you had to begin with besides some suspension work and some sort of posi which i kindof assumed/guessed, and the m112, and the lt exhaust.

My best set up was a forged low compression short block 4.2L with an unknown cam (bought the whole set up used), my own heads/lower intake, my boxed upper, ported M112, Ram clutch built Tremec WC T5, Eaton 7.5" rear (old school, but it works). I've run a few different V6 motors in this car, some N/A, one nitrous, and I even ran NX with the blower until I lifted a head off the block.

Suspension for track work is tubular K member and A arms, Roush tubular control arms, Roush sway bars, Roush spec Bilstein shocks/struts, Roush S3 springs (old school ones again), Roush big brakes (13" Baer discs at all four corners, Roush calipers, Hawk pads, SS brake lines).
Ran coilovers on it for awhile back in '02, but didn't like the classes it moved me into on the track back then because I was still running N/A and couldn't hang with the other cars.

I pulled the suspension out thinking of selling the car and keeping it for the next Stang. Good motor sold to buy the Exploder so I could move to Miami. Might slap the blower back on at some point if I haul the car out of storage.... I haven't even laid eyes on it in six months.
