Badass build going on here; cant wait to see her finished! I am in the process of changing the door panels with some red suede; I already sueded the roof. How did you get the fabric to stick on the door panel? Did you remove the fake leather trim or did you glue on top of it? Appreciate the advice! [FONT=Arial (W1)][/FONT]

removed the oem fake bullshit first. then glued the new new with 3m90

Sounds like you have good intentions for the build...I think chevykiller summed it up quite well.

Good luck man, i'd like to check it out one day. Too bad you weren't able to make it out funday sunday yesterday.

i would have liked to, but i had work all day sunday

Nice thread.. subscribing..... May get some ideas for my future build. I'm not going for that much power though. Good luck.

Overbuild, under power.

Wait a minute... You are trying to build a monster AND have it be a daily driver??

good luck - you'll need it (and an open checkbook)

Personally, I would not try to build a daily driver over 650 hp - you are about to open a can of worms, kid.

Doing that peak on the dyno sounds doable. Don't plan on driving around with that power without frequent stops to the gas station.

The fuel support needed for big power is a gas guzzler. My car gets about 4 mpg but I do make a lot more power - I'm just giving you an example. When I was making about 690 rwhp on the street on 91 gas, I was getting about 10 mpg through #83 injectors a big pump, and -8 lines... now I use #120's to support my power.

If you don't take the time and money to do your suspension right - you could be asking for trouble with 700 as well. Plenty of streetfire videos showing what happens when you punch 700 rwhp on a mustang without a stout suspension to back it up.

I'm not trying to dis your build at all - just trying to help you is all and give you stuff to consider. Making peak HP on a dyno is pretty easy. I try to tell everyone to forget all about dyno numbers and just try to make your car as 'fast' as possible with the power you have.

At the end of the day, no one cares about dyno numbers - it's all about who can get from A to B the fastest...

i dont think of any posts as trying to dis my build. i appreciate all the help. my suspension is pretty stout. i have coil overs, a panhard rod, a strut tower brace and sways. i just got the bmr k member with a arms, and i want to pick up a set of LCAs and a UCA for the rear during the build period. im not planning on hard launches until i can build a rear end, as i know full well what can, and probably will happen. as for mpg: if gas stations bothered me, i wouldn't have gotten a mustang to begin with lol. im getting 12 average right now, but i plan on grabbing the t6060 and going down from the 4.10 to the 3.73. i feel like with 700, 4.10 may prove to be overkill anyway.

Damn I need to start some go fast to mine now. Thanks alot Alex haha

3.73s may also be overkill...

Im at 550rwhp with 305s 555r and I still burn though second gear... with 3.73s..

 

[HOLYWD]

355^^

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I would go with 3.55s.....We ran a set of 4.10s when we rebuilt my friends car. He originally had a 2.6L KB and switched to an F1A Procharger when we built his motor. The 4.10s were way too much. He know has the 3.55s and the car performs alot better. He is right around the 750rwhp mark.
