You'll want to watch this! 5.0 vs supra http://www.jza80.net/al98t/sundaydrive.mpg 
Here are some words from the owner of the mustang....
"So on a whim I decided to Dyno the car to see what I was making with the new Turbo, and tweak the tune.
The problem I was having was the fact that I was afraid I was making too much power, and endagering the stock block. The car is just tearing my ET streets up all the way through Third gear, and I was afriad of over powering the block.. So I wanted to see what I was putting down.
Weather sucked it was in the 80's and HAD to be 100% humidity.
First couple pulls netted a suprisingly low number, something in the 450's at 14 psi.. This was a bit off from the smaller turbo's numbers, but my A/F was buried at 10.0.. So thanks to the mad scientist Al (XX Tuning), he leaned the mixture out some, and we were able to get 480 sumthin at the same boost level with some fuel takin out.. But I was still off, and I couldn't figure it out. Then Dan mentioned that maybe my air filter that I just got was not big enough (tiny K&N). So we took that off, BAM instant 30rwhp, to 520ish. After some tweaking and bumping the boost up to 16psi with a total timing of 19, the car is running insane now. SteedaJeff let some air out of the tires and that helped, but the car is worthless through 2nd gear.
Total numbers today: 540rwhp/578rwtq PUMP GAS - Not bad considering the air today sucked ***.
The video was mainly taken following the Dyno, Al had his supra, and we had a video car (JoeStang and Dan) and we just tore **** up this afternoon.. I can honestly say that my car scares me now. When you watch the video, watch the first race with the Supra and I.. Look at how much rubber the car lays down.. -evil1
The Supra belts out 620rwhp/510rwtq."

Cool vid... You might want to say whats on the vid next time, so people don't think it's a virus...
And it's a turbo Cobra, looks to be a 94 or 95. Very sweet, but not putting down as much power as I would expect from that set-up. Aweosme car though.
