Going to do some grudge racing with it so I can't post the numbers. I will just say it made more power than we expected!

The wheels that are on it are borrowed from a friend and are back spacing. We had 7.25 bs but had some issues once we set the ride height. The rear end is stock width 2001 mustang 8.8, and the tires are 29.5x10 ET drags. It looks like we really need a 6.5 which are back ordered or a 6.75" backspacing which of course nobody makes.

Added a shift light to dash





Swapped the 29.5's for a 28 <br/>





Tow rig ready!





All loaded up

Had quite a few small gremlins, which I guess can be expected since everything on the car is new. Also found out that the converter is way tight on the motor. Car comes alive on the spray, but we had a few settings wrong on the progressive so it was only spray 50% for a second and then would shut off. Anyway here are a few pictures and videos from last night.
The first video is a motor pass, but the throttle pedal bent so we didn't have full throttle the whole pass. The second is the wheel stand.
