Here's the timeslip.

That's a great time. I took mine to the track for the first time this weekend. It ran an 11.98 @ 117 with a lazy 2.09 60'. That was on 8lbs of boost. I'd love to get mine down to 1.7-8 in the 60.

Turbos are much easier on the bottom end. Boost creeps up slower and is not as instant of a surge like a blower does.

My blower doesn't even hit full boost tell 7krpm lol. That's more of a screw style charger thing than centrifugal. They are basically belt driven turbos. I totally get the extra force on the crank snout though.

May have been my last track outing for this year. Couldn't get better than a 7.0 but she is still 60fting like a champ.
Really hoping to get my blower setup sold soon o I can get this turbo build underway.

Second race was against my buddies built Firebird - 418ci TSP LS3 with HCI, ford 9", T6060 yada yada
I missed third gear pretty bad lol, but the ole 281 did pretty good the first two gears.

Finally giving my shop some love. We have lived here for a little over 4 years and it has always been on my to do list to finish the inside of the building. Looks like a completely different shop now......

My shop is completed. It's so much brighter in here and gives the place a new look. Very happy how it turned out.


This is how it looked when I first purchased the mustang.........

The shop looks incredible man. Pretty jealous of the work space. What size is it? Looks similar in size to what I want

I think it's also time to swap the car over to manual brakes/steering

Holy crap you pull that thing quick! If you’re going manual everything, you should get a 3 bolt timing cover that way you don’t need an a/c delete pulley
