Awesome build! Love the attention to detail! I just purchased a metallic blue 07 tbss myself. I really enjoy the power and comfort. They really are some nice rides.

Finally got this started last weekend....Hopefully we can get it on the dyno and get a soft tune on it and hit the track up to start testing on it very soon.

Very nice numbers, specially given you only pulled to 6500

Little short of your 1200whp goal without leaning on it ... :-)

Time to lean a little harder. In all seriousness, good stuff. Can't wait to see some track times on it.

I was just poking you a little since your stated goal was 1200hp without leaning on it. Great numbers for a mustang dyno.

You have a lot left to go. Excited to see how far you push the ERL motor.

I know....And For just guessing...I was fairly close. My "real original" goal was really just two things.

1. 4 Digit power
2. run an 8.99 or better and making it the Fastest TBSS Ever Built

Im halfway there.

When do we get to see some video of it chasing that 8.99 goal?

How are you getting away with that aluminum exhaust right off the turbine? I am building one but going from the downpipe back...

Why did you stop the pull at 6500? It looks like it was still making power

Lots of guys do it on Race Cars....I have some say its gonna melt and blow through it and some say itll be fine....I guess I will find out which. If it does Melt, Ill make that First section SS with a V-Band Transition to the aluminum to keep the weight down.

I'm not sure why he stopped...It was definitely still making power. I asked him to be conservative on the tune as I don't want to push it soo hard on the dyno we break something for a number that really is meaningless. I want to get the record broken with the truck and then I will let the tuner have free reign to max out the turbo and see what it will do.

Still trying to get it ready for the track....Everytime I get it almost done....something else pops up. Had the Water pump go bad on the dyno, so had to get a new Meziere ordered in....Now I need to get it on and my seatbelts mounted and its time to go racing!
