Default Sorry, Another Mustang Driver

Hello, I joined the site a few months ago and just now finally got around to posting. I drive a Procharged 02' Mustang GT, but love most american muscle cars. One of these days I'll have me a Vette or TA to toy around with.

Welcome! You'll find that alot of people on this board are genuine car guys and love all nicely done cars. Although of course there are a few who are going to hate, but it seems your car can hold its own so they may not show! Oh, and pics!!!

Thanks everyone! I have zero work done to the bottom end, so it's just a matter of time before it blows. Hopefully it will hold out until I can get a forged short block in there.

Haven't decided yet, I may just forge the internals in mine. Here are some pics. The engine pic is old with the stock inlet tube from Procharger, I have since replaced it with a homemade powerpipe seen in the other pic.

It seems to be hit-or-miss with them. Some guys push over 450 and have no problems and some blow under 400rwhp. I guess it all depends on your tune and how bad you beat on it.

Whats up blackfang, I remember you from AFM lol!

The block is fine. The problem is trying to keep the rods from looking like
this:



400rwhp is about the limit.

Welcome to LS1Tech. There are plenty Mustang owners here, including
myself and one of the co-owners of the site.
