This is actually a sad read and I'm sorry for you, in all sincerity.

I think you went about this all wrong from the beginning but many of us did not know what we did until it was too late.

Took me 4 times building my car from the ground up to finally know fact from fiction.

You have been getting lied to and screwed six ways to sunday from your bottom end, to your oil pump and power adder. Best of luck to you and PM me if you have any questions or info you want to verify.

Well GH still have my car. They said they'll have my car done by Christmas and STILL no car. Maybe I'll have it by my b-day on the 24th of Jan. Who knows. Right now I just bought a race ported eaton for my cobra and 6lb lower pulley kit. So hopefully this is going to keep my mind off the wait at gear heads.
And chevykiller I'm happy to say I've learned alot by this build. What to and not to do.
Next build will be a high compression turbo build.

This story is oh so familiar. Just a different shop. And funny part is, when I dropped my car off at a certain shop in Lewisville (along with ALL the parts necessary to do the job I was having done) and after 3 months the "3 day" job still wasn't done, EVERYONE told me how I screwed up and should have went to GH.

Just goes to show ya, they are all the same. It's just which one do you want to hate this week that determines where you end up going.

Well that's the tentative date but you and I both know that date is more then likely goin to change. But as of now, yes it will be late next week, this is me crossing my fingers!!! Hahaha. If I was a betting man I would say it will be more like the mid Jan.

I went to Gearheads all day yesterday and got the cobra a ported supercharger and heard my baby start.
The video doesn't do it justice guys. This thing sounds like a top fuel drag car.
It has no tune on it so that's why it couldn't idle and also it was a cold start.

Damn. I'm out of town and trying to do this over the iPhone.
If u search on YouTube "07shelbygt cammed", it'll be the first one.
And the cobra is "04 cobra gear heads ported eaton" on you tube.

Thx blkbullitt. It's weird to look at our modern looking s197 and hear this old school dragster sound. Lol.

Yep stang389 is right. The goal is 1000. But we'll see what happens. That is very wishful thinking. I'll be happy with 900.
And the cams are comp cams stage 3 blower grind with jesel cam followers.
