here is my stang. i have been buildin it for the 3 years i have had it. but then i got a girl friend so it was in the barn/garage for a while but now its back and i am gettin it ready for the summer. i am also tryin to decide what taillights i like better. haha this thing only has 42k miles on it.

MODS: TF track heat heads, TF uppers and lowers, TF stage 1 cam, 30# injectors, msd, pro-5.0 shifter, flowmasters w/dumps, MAC cold air, Nitto 555 drag radials, and thats about all i can think about right now, I need a new tranny though anyone got a tremec tko 600?? lol
here are some pics

Well I thought i would update this a bit.

I have gotten a bigger cam, c&l intake, a tremec 3550 trans, and i just dropped it off saturday at Cincy Speed to get a tune...Just in time for winter lol

My buddy has a RX7 LS1 and he wants to build a turbo kit for it...so i said lets just build 2 kits this winter..but i am unsure with the stock bottom end.

i will post some dyno results later on this week with my agressive street tune w/o turbo

Looks to be a killer start to a great build. Good luck with it. Go with the LX tail lights. Everyone loves them.

which tails did you go with? lol i like the lx ones, but i am may be biased.

also i want that hood lol. nice car.

phatford

I went with the LX tails for now but we will see. The hood is a Boss Hood. I bought it off an older guy over in loveland for 100 bucks. I got a killer deal. I dont have hood pins cause i dont want to drill through my hood.

thanks_ Nick

sweet car dude.

Don't worry about the turbo kit on the stock bottom end. Just don't get greedy with the boost/tune.

Thats a good lookin Stang. Keep the cheesegrater lights no matter which you decide to go w/. They are gonna start bringing good cash at some point.

hey craig,
i put a new air idle control sesor on and it seemed to help but it still likes to die after letting of the gas. any other suggestions?

ok a lil bit of an update...

-new black trick flow valve covers, adds 18hp by the way

-gently used TPS (thank you 03z06vette)

-UPR subframe connectors

-control arms http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-chrome-moly-rear-control-arm-suspension-kit.html

and another coat of wax

I have ran it at the track when it was bone stock. I am curious to see what she runs. What could I expect to see time wise? 12s? high 11s? i hope nooo 13s
