work some over time and ball hard.
Awesome to hear! Adam tunes my car as well. Im running a T56 magnum with a spec 3 for my power but I’m over doing my clutch on nitrous lol. But so far it’s holding. But I need one rated for 900-1000 ft lbs next time
More pictures!!!I love this car.
Adam lives literally down the street from me. We actually use the same roads for WOT pulls! Luckily I’ll be making about half as much tq as you. Lol. I’d really like to do the astro T5. Its rated for like 675hp and 550tq or something. Unless I find something used, its gunna be like 4 grand…
I’ll post some new pictures and videos asap.
Edit: go with an 4l80 swap so I can buy your setup!
all my fuel system stuff showed up today. hope to get it all in this weekend.
this is the best i got for now.
That sounds ridiculous
another piss poor update without pictures. ordered sfi bell housing/tko600 with the sure shift upgrade and carbon fiber lined synco rings from astroperformance. mcleod twin disk, and stifflers performance cross memeber. that should about take car of any potential driveline weaknesses. lol.
woot. eta?
Sounds really mean in that vid
I love it! Get some real vids / pictures up!!
eta the end of the next week. i wanted to go with the AT5 because its like 30lbs lighter and rated for almost as much, but they wont be available until several weeks later. should be badass. next spring i need to do the maf and retune, and then it will be “done”… whatever ha.
travis lets go make some vids when i get the fuel system in. i ended up removed and creating a new front sidewalk the last two weekends instead of working on my car.
That Paxton sounds amazing. I think I need to get me one. We will need to run next year.
Fuck that sounds good
pictures.
trendy fish-eye pic
sick off topic picture of muckman’s car lol
long tubes and install.
starter clearance. shouldnt have to drop this header to pull the trans
this bolt and suck my d*ck
headers kinda done
parts pile in living room:
one of my favorite pictures ive ever taken. pop’s car and mine:
just waiting on the trans and clutch, hopefully early next week. thinking about dipping the car over the winter. the paint is getting faded pretty badly 
black without the gloss? opinions?
Plastidip? lol.
And you mean flat black? Kind of a pain in the ass to keep nice. I mean you already have flat red, might as well stick with it. Plus a full color change is a lot of work
holy shit that sounds badass.
Used to have a 96 tbird with a gt motor and a vortech blower that sounded pretty neat with bassani exhaust, but the 4v sounds VERY COOL.
back from the dead with an atomic bump!
so far this year:
all passanger side lash adjustors were replaced.
the timing chains/guides/adjustors were replaced with the FRPP kit
fluidamper stock sized crank pulley (split the stock piece)
TKO600+quicktime bell
RST twin disk
stifflers rear cross member/pauls high performance adapter with t56 mount
poly bushing’d upper and lower rear control arms
solid 26mm rear sway bar
new american thunder cat back exhaust
billet fuel rails, and replaced the big feed lines
03/04 cobra tank
the cold side charge pipe is now all 3.5" with an hpxx slot maf
last but not least, a FRPP 5 speed shift knob.
ive basically been chipping away at this since February… but got it tuned yesterday. car freakin rips. 21psi at 6800 rpm, so ill be shifting at 6600ish. got it street tuned, the maf is reading 74#/min of flow. all is well.
build pics:
bell didnt clear the headers, at all…
starter cover wouldnt clear header either
trans mount setup
fluidamper… they met me half way from buffalo down I90 to give me this piece next day at an outstanding deal. Highly recommended.
split stock piece… took me 6mo to discover, sigh…
CSCP comparison: old right vs new left. the old ba3000 was in between two 3-4" couplings, lots of turbulence. that setup was pegged at a lil over 6k rpm.
turns out my previous air filter was rated for 680cfm, my blower is rated for ~1400… so i stuffed the biggest filter i had in it. here is how the bay looks now, you can barely see the rails, and line location. had to put the regulator pre-rail because of the coolant cross over tube. the car was running lean last year in first and second gear pulls because of the stock rails, but not noe moe.
got 450 miles on the clutch. gonna start being more aggressive with it now. need a ten sec slip with 130+ traps or im gonna ghost ride the car into lake ontario.
just to prove it actually runs, this video was pre-charge pipe swap. this winter the car is gonna get dipped copper/brown, not feeling the pinkish look to much these days

oh and part way through this build a tree fell on my magnum and totalled it
so i bought a 2010 taurus SHO. car is tits. track numbers for the cobra asap.
NICE!
I want to see this out. Been thinking about trying to set up some sort of Mustang meet/cruise
I was just wondering what ever happened with this car the other day, glad to see you’re still wrenchin
I like this car a lot :tup:
