new pics

I need to put e few more hundred miles on the car, before we add all the fun go go stuff. Fuel pumps, ejectors, new tune etc
This weekend I will start to clean the car and replace all the engine dress up parts on the car.

Until then here are a few more pics.
Enjoy

Holy hell, that think is a beast!! What turbo kit is that? Or is it all custom piping? I love how the turbos sit in plain view.. Thats nasty. =) Congrats on the build, n sorry about losing all those people/ sucks about your friend.. My close buddy has MS since he was about 16.. He is 23 now and it is becoming so hard for him to function. He isn't in a wheel chair yet, but his legs just randomly give out- if he does sit down we have to go from under his arms and lift him so he can get up. He said it takes him forever to get out of bed in the morning or middle of the night. Sux big time =/

High Noon, 93 degrees 100% humidity no shade. Got stuck in traffic downtown Chicago on the Dan Ryan Expressway. Surrounded by Semi's, crawling at 5-8 mph.
While the car was moving 183 degrees all day. In trafffic 191. Never went above, even after 15 minutes of dead traffic.
NOTE: on a calibrated Autometer Cobalt temp gauge.
I am so happy.......
200 more miles then onto the dyno and a BIG power tune.

Gene

I recommend Bob Kurgan for the tuning, he local in Illinois and is the man when it comes to tuning built mustangs around here.

How ya doing Gene, I remember talking to ya over at the opener. The car has been a mess lately, but Im making some final tweaks to it at the moment. Should be ready to go soon....hopefully

Im gonna try and make that show....our NWI mustang club is crusing out there. But it all depends on work. Im hoping I can make it, thats if the car is running right. Gus, if your car is ready to go by then, give me a call, you can cruise out there with the rest of us.

WOW! Thank you all for your kind words and encouragements.

Just for the next week or two , I am babying this bad girl.
Waiting to hit 1000 miles on the new motor and turbos.
The OVERWHELMING need to smash my foot to the floor is killing me....
I've waited 3 1/2 years I can wait a few days more.
For now, meaning this year we will keep it under 700hp.
This winter (meaning MORE money) I'll see just how much she has to give.
Thank you again, Gus
