Oh well, I thought it was the finishing touch to a real sleeper look. That's why I put ponys on it and left the stock hood on.

Here's some in-car video action....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmB6lSQg2Gw

Powershifted with the nitrous on. The track was slippery and it was 91 degrees this day. Still went a 10.73 at 132.02 mph. Maybe I'll go back in January when we get some mineshaft air.

There are plenty of cars with Weld Draglites that go 14.20s. For me, a stock-looking Mustang on Ponys and a flat hood is a sleeper when it runs 10s. On the street tires, it slithered its way to an 11.61 at 122, right off the street. On slicks, it's going 11.21 at 121 mph on motor.

time to bring back a dead horse.
I'm looking to do a swap into my Z car (datsun, not Chev) and i would LOVE to get my hands on something like the harness adapter that you used from scanmyride.com which is no longer in business. does anyone know of a company that sells that kind of harness?
any input is greatly appreciated
thanks!

Read both Lt4malibu's build up and mine. Get a stock harness, send it to Speartech or wait4me performance to have it converted into a stand alone harness. I can personally say that the Speartech harness is freaking nice. Search is your friend.

ask "DATSBAD" he owns the car now, but if im not mistaken it had a direct-port kit on it and he did some suspension tuning.
