Since my last post I was able to install all the upgrades pictured, as well as my Corbeau FX1 Pro seats and Wolfe bolt-in roll bar. Took the car to the track for the first time ever and only ran a 11.2 @ 124mph. Rolling out of the hole off of idle due to being on 315/30r18 R888 tires. Went back a couple weeks later (tightened up the blower belt) on a much cooler day and ran my fastest trap of 131mph but unfortunately lost the serpentine, blower and AC belt sometime after crossing the finish. So that day was short.

Had a buddy of mine snap some photos of the car a couple months ago.

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Really interested to see what is will make on a full 10psi and how it will run at the track with a Weld/MT rear setup.

Did you get it on the dyno after installing the 1-7/8 headers?

Yes I did. Boost dropped roughly 3psi going from 1-3/4 longtubes with a custom catted 2.5" Y pipe to the new SE 1-7/8 headers and 3" ORY. I did put a smaller pulley on the blow to try and get back to 8psi, however, belt slip was an issue (3.2 pulley) as I'm still on the 6 rib kit. I also didn't have the cutout install on the new setup so it was going through the factory CME/dual dual muffler.

I just picked up a 8 rib conversion setup and will be running 10psi in the spring, as well as re-installing the e-cutout.

I forget if the engine is built or not.

SBE LS1 with 228r 112 cam, ported 243 heads (10.5.1) and a FAST 102/NW 92 setup. 93 + meth injection. Not the most ideal setup for FI but it’s been working pretty well.

Will see what she makes on 10psi soon. Made 600rwhp on 7.5 psi on a mustang dyno through a stalled and built 65e. I definitely think I’ll be pushing the limits of the SBE. Haha

I read through this last night at work and thought, "wow, another person wrapped their car orange just like that guy on Instagram I follow." ...and then I looked. Great thread and awesome to see you on the forums!

Figured I'd give a little update on here. Installed the 8 rib kit, as well as my electric cut out, and headed back to the dyno at Straightline Performance's new shop.

Well, good news is it's going to make 10psi...bad news is I ran out of pump at ~5500rpm's. We did see 600rwhp at 5500 though!

Plan is to go with Chris1313's dual 450's intank setup -8 feed/-6 return lines and a rail mount FPR. Hoping to hit 650rwhp when all said and done. (through an auto and on a mustang dyno) Numbers are just that and I really want to know what it will run at the track now!

Here is a little shitty video I put together real quick with my new GoPro.

I'm looking forward to you getting it all done. I made about 580 to 590 at 6000rpm at about 8psi.. It should scream when you get it done.

Picked up the Chrs1313 dual 450 intank setup with hotwire kit, as well as -8 feed, -6 return lines and a rail mount FPR.

The car is currently under the knife but I did manage to get some rolling shots beforehand....oh, and finally got a Vanity Plate. Nothing crazy but it works.

Love it dude! Can't wait to see your final numbers and times at the track. I haven't been able to make it to the track with mine, so many things going on.

The stance is perfect IMO, What suspension set up are you running? I need to lower mine. Yours is beautifully done!!
