Future plans:
The car is basically done, my future plans are just to enjoy
the car.
Background:
I bought this car from the original owner in January of 2000.
It had 48,000 miles and the owner was in CA (I live in AZ) I have
gone through many different power combinations including 331 strokers, 306's,
and Nitrous. I have also had several different cam and head combinations.
When the last engine (cheapie rebuild 306) bit the bullett in December of
2002 the
car sat for quite a while. Kyle and I pulled the engine in January andI
didn't plan on rebuilding it for a few months. In May I decided to
start rebuilding it to get it done in time for the www.turbomustangs.com
Shootout October 11th. The car fired on September 9th 2003 at 3:00 am. I
drove it to work September 12th.
In September 2004 I ditched the Cartech kit in favor of a Rusty's
Total Performance Turbo System. The new kit is awesome, it fits,
runs, and looks 100% better than before. I kept the same turbo, BOV
and wastegate. With the new system the turbo reaches maximum desired
boost 600 rpm sooner! I also gained 10mph in the quarter mile with
2psi less boost! Here are some pics
of Rusty's kits.
From late 2003 to early 2006
my car has been featured in many racing vids all of which are on this site
and they have spread to just about every other forum on the internet.
They are also on google videos with many pages of comments which are very
funny to read. Here are some links: Number
