Also, why didnt you go with a bigger blower? Not saying its small or anything, but if youre planning on laying down 900, Id think one of the F-1 variants would be a bit more efficient in that range...
Yup they are 345/30's. I went with the d1 bc i got a smoking deal on it. Honestly the f1s are kinda loud for taste anyways.

Exhaust is done. My goal was to be driving it last month but life happens. I'm very happy with how the exhaust turned out. Special thanks to Ernie Miyamoto for the exhaust. I will be bringing it home for the winter. This is the first time I've had it back in 2 years....Very weird feeling.

Well, the car is just about wrapped up. It was tuned about 2 weeks ago and made 655hp/560tq @8lbs on a mustang dyno. I probably left 50hp on the table with the amount of timing that was left out but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Not surr if im going to run thr 15lb pulley., the car is already a rocket ship. All that is left is finishing up the rear seats and headliner!!!!!
