Love the car. I actually think the all black on the rims. However you know what your doing. Keep us posted. Will help wherever we can. I decided today that I'm going black with the wheels, they will be Satin black to match the accents on the car and the rear bead lock rings will be Wrinkle black to match the covers on the engine and the innercooler piping. |

WOW!!!.....and I thought your rifles were nice. Drag racing was my first hobby, AR15's came second. :-) This was my old car. I built it from the ground up as well and raced it for about 9 years. I got rid of the old car and started this new car pretty much right away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qvd_AQRGVA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA-DHn0uTPg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2OwNVtz3Ek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWpHZ_btXSs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQXKqOIprN8 |

The car was originally a Fl. federal police car and has the Chevy police package on it. I did some volunteer LE work for about 3 years until my back could not handle it anymore. I want to keep the engine the same for nostalgia purposes. Every time I drove it, it reminded me of my patrol days. It would not be the same with a LS power plant. As for your Mustang.....DAMN!!! that is some huge HP numbers you have there. Good luck at the show. |

I also filled that spot in the hood, one side was vented and the other was solid, rather than add a second vent to make it symmetrical I added some gauges.

It made 837 today, the new tranny put much more of a load on the motor and I ran myself out of fuel injector, they were maxed out with a 100% duty cycle. Still not bad for an Auto car. http://youtu.be/2qQBzUdi_b0 http://youtu.be/f4nB-QnWjRk |

I was just curious if you are over on SVTPerformance? good to see another twin turbo modular mustang on ar15.com.
Is your turbo kit a THP kit? I have got a 2003 twin turbo cobra making 1038rwhp and I just ordered two precision billet BB 62mm turbos,dynamic injectors id1000 injectors,fully built 4l80e auto, 8 point cage and some other stuff but it's a sickness just can't stop. Also who tuned your car? Congrats on going to kots I am sure it will be a lot of fun |

I had an HP twin turbo kit which has the turbos mounted behind the front bumper, I kept the headers and innercooler and scrapped the rest of the kit and built my own. If this 4R70W doesn't hold up I'll be going to a 4l80e as well. The car is tuned by myself, Jay from Real Street Performance, and Willie Figueroa. |

I paid $1200 for this damn thing used, then air gapped the runners and had Accufab port it. I also had to powder coat it and find all the hardware for it. Also made custom spacers for the alternator. |

I use flat black touch up paint to touch up the wrinkle powder coat. That's why I went wrinkle on a lot of things, it's easy to touch up. I've heard great things about the Plasti-Dip. A LOT of people are using it. Actually my painter just did the grill in his Titan, and it looks sharp! It looks like a really fine bed liner material. |

I tried it out on the chrome strip on the battery box of my Harley that I had previously coasted in VHT but had flaked a bit. Looks real good so far, but the texture doesn't match the wrinkle from the factory. I think it'll look better on the speedo cluster. Since the tank is flat-black, the cluster doesn't need the texture that the VHT provides. The grill of my truck was flat black and I decided to sand it down and Plati-Dip it too over the weekend. The flat paint had kinda "greyed" out a bit. And you could see oils from my fingers closing the hood. We'll see how that holds up as well. |

I am a Camaro guy myself but, congrats on the invite. I am appreciate hard work on any car I see.
what kind of specs do you have on the motor, HP torque etc..... MY 1997 Camaro just died a few weeks ago so I got a commuter car in the mean time. Years down the road I'll have the money to put into it. I am going to pull the 350cid and drop in a 383 stroker, then do suspension upgrades and sub-frame connectors. It won't be nearly as fast as your car but, it will put a smile on my face when I hit WOT. |
