shit i added too much , just a few of the top of my head is heads , cams , stroker motor , jba shortys , billet deletes , boost controller , new " race " control arms , spec 3+ , che k-member brace & race limiters ........oh and new track wheels :clap:

and as far as how much from this round i dunno im still not set on how high im going to bring it 9 outta 10 i will do another 11psi. and then either a 13 or 15psi tune cant go higher than that my damn boost controller only goes that high damn dumbass buying parts at 3 am lol

in all honestly im looking to be around 550 maybe a little better at 11psi. and hoping to get 6xx at the 13-15lb tune but on the dyno im tuning on i wont hit 500 ( really greedy dyno lol ) last time i dyno'd at stanghi i hit the 518&522 , few weeks later went to tps pulled 380&420 ......so yea if i hit 500 on this dyno i will be impressed

Damn thats just a "few" things? :clap: . LOL Man that is a hell of a list :party:. Im just trying to work on saving enough for F/I . You do have forged internals right? Man that is going to be a helluva fast car :partysmilie:. It does seem weird that the dyno reading are so far off. It sounds like that second place is probably off because the one at StangHi is a mustang dyno, which reads less than the dynojet. I should be going to houma in a couple of weeks, i definitely want to ride in your car and go home and order some thing big :la:

so how much total pounds of boost are you going to run? I am a turbo car as well and am in the process of adding a lot of what you have listed as well. Debated on whether to go ahead and get the shorty headers while I am at it. I have not decided on a clutch but block, heads, cams are taken care of already. Got to get some brakes to stop all this HP though.

ahhh if you can pick up the shorty's cheap like i did go for it if not i really wouldn't worry about them , check into the jba's if you do decide though the will work better

and i keep going back n forth on how much i want to run but 9 outta 10 my max boost will be 15lbs.

Looks inflated, and very surprised with those ugly headlights, but to each his own...

Definitely to each his own, have to say though, Im very glad mine doesn't look like this....

Well at least you're open to criticism....

My opinion doesn't count for shit because it isn't my car. But I just ain't diggin' the overall look. Each of the parts (except the headlights and wheels) probably look good on something, but just aren't working as a package in my opinion. As for the headlights and wheels... man, hate the headlights. And it's no secret about how I feel about big ass wheels.

Can we say sarcasm......lol.


+1 on what Hawg said. But, again, it's your car. Do what you like.

I am open to criticism when it is explained and not just a comment saying " its a POS". I don’t want everyone liking my car, but when you criticize at least add something to the thread or the person. You don’t like the headlights and wheels, but at least you elaborate a little and explain your opinion instead of just coming out with comments that sound stupid. Again, Its ok if you don’t like my car or mods on it, but don’t just post crap on there without at least TRYING to add value to the thread.

Too much black and zero contrast. Looks so plain.

wow hmm I guess I could add some color, say, purple racing stripes, and for some extravagantness I suppose I could have my bumpers chromed... just because something is different or shiny doesn't make it inherently good looking.

Guess I should have explained myself better. Let's see, you're trying to combine black, carbon fiber, red, and chrome. Chrome and black you've definitely got. I would tint the headlights a bit, so they are not so gaudy looking, but again that's just my opinion. You've got carbon fiber, but only on your hood and mirrors. It's like a giant slab of cf that if it were any other color, would look totally out of place to you. It seems like carbon fiber hoods are some kind of afterthought to make the car seem better, without actually belonging. It's there simply for being carbon fiber, and we all know carbon fiber adds hp. Aside from that, I do like the wheels. I might have gone with a traditional five spoke, but the split spokes look very good. The brake caliper paint looks good, but doesn't really have any other color to play off of, besides the side reflectors, which I have never liked, and the tails. It's just another color to add to the list off colors you're trying to all pull off simultaneously, and because of the long list of colors, are not succeeding. The car just doesn't flow, with the kit, to the wheels, or to the headlights. It's a big body kit, with a tall hood, on an already big car.

I'm all for changing up the appearance of my car, and would love to, but all my funds recently, and will keep going toward performance.

Well at least this time your response is not that much of a douchebag. I hear ya on the headlights, i got some new ones with a black housing and black housing front bumper lights. I think you should get the purple stripes, they match the ones on your gf's panties :bonebh: :hitit:. But seriously, Since you at least elaborated and added something, i guess your douchebag level went down just a bit :towlwhip:.

You are just up the road from me! I'm down in spring branch. I really like the hood I think it would look a lot better if it was painted and maybe left some of the carbon fiber showing through as the super snake stripe down the center of the hood. I am glad to see that you are changing out the headlights those do look ricer! I am not a fan of the wheels but I dont like chrome nor do I like big wheels. I like the front of the body kit but the side skirts along with the lowered stance and wheels makes the mustang look huge and bloated to me I don't know if that can be fixed with a different setup or not. I love the duck tail I am having the hardest time deciding whether I want one myself or not.

Overal I really hope you dont take what I say personally or take offence to it I think if you like what you have done with the stang thats awesome but it isnt for me personally. But that is part of what has made the mustang thrive because you can take it and make it your own in a billion different ways! So congrats on your ride! and I am glad to see another mustang enthusiast enjoying making his/her ride unique
