My car still isn't the beast it needs to be yet, but it finally got its first power adder so I figured it was now worthy of the name and a build thread.

My car is a 2007 Torch Red Mustang GT. Right now my goal is to build it as a street car, with a drag emphasis but the ability to corner well since I live in the hills. Eventually I'd like to go turbo and get the car into the 500-650hp range but that'll be a few years down the road. So far my best run on the strip was a 13.8 @104. A lack of experience and some clutch issues have kept me out of the low 13's for now but that will end soon.

Here's my current list of mods:
- JLT 110mm Cold Air
- Bama Tune (for now)
- Pypes O/R X-Pype
- Pypes Pype-Bomb Axleback
- Roush Stage 2 Springs
- MGW Shifter (as of 2 days ago)
- Charge Motion Delete Plates
- Zex Nitrous Kit/100 shot (as of 2 days ago)

Car dyno'd at 300rwhp/317rwtq with just the CAI, Tune, and Axleback.

** Huge thanks to Matt (MindifIsmoke?) for all his help and knowledge!!! None of this would've been done without him.

Not really planning on going much higher, if at all, than a 100 shot. I figure 100 shot will give me entertainment for a few years while I save up for a real F/I and engine build.

Well no progress on the nitrous system, still waiting on the window switch and fuel rail adapter. But I've been having a lot of shifting issues lately so Matt and I (pretty much all Matt) installed a Ram XD clutch last night and it seems to be have solved everything (knock on wood). God it feels good to have a working car again!

A 100 shot will do you for a few years...? Not if you are like any other Nitrous user, its very addictive. I was bored of my 100 shot after a month or so. My 50 shot lasted 10 minutes... LOL.

Good luck with the install.
