Check out the blow-through forum on Turbomustangs.com for a hat. There's plenty of good info there.

The shortblock should be here next week, along with the heads. Intake is already here. I'm getting a shitload of stuff from Summit delivered tomorrow.

Then, the car goes into the chassis shop on December 10th for the cage work. We are also going to have to cut out the stock metal from the strut towers so the headers will clear and clearance the firewall. The cage will tie into the front suspension, so we can afford to lose some metal up there.

My hood scoop will be here tomorrow, but the hood is still a month away. If push comes to shove, I'll cut a hole in my stock hood so I can get 9 second licensed before the season begins in January.

In the mean time, I thought you guys would like to see the size of the fuel lines, so I took a pic of the fuel filter with a quarter next to it for perspective:

Looks like a water filter for a garden hose . . lmao. The fuel pump has a 10AN inlet . . . fucking insane.

Re: BUILD THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW WITH SCOOP PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It should yank the wheels at LEAST that high. Frankly, I'm thinking it should yank em a bit higher. My driver's side tire was up that high at the NHRA's with the car at full wieght with less power. :boink:

I look really good at 200 pounds . . . :pimp:






As far as the car goes, I'd like to get it as close to 3,000 pounds as possible. There will be a "dash" . . kinda. An aluminum panel with some gauges in it . . lol
