thanks man, it just took a little while to get it to where i could put some power down
the car has always backhalfed pretty hard. i think it would have gone an 8.5x at 159 ish if we were running them out the back.
Did ptc set you up with the 15-0 converter? Just got mine back from getting restalled and cant wait to try it out.
yessir
my old converter worked good, just didnt go much faster with the boost turned up.
after putting the ptc in i though something was wrong with it...lol
the first time i put it on the trans brake, it hit the 2 step like i had pushed the clutch in...it spools so much faster than the old one
itll be a little while
i bought forged rods and pistons too...lol
planning on going quite a bit faster next time out
It should be a good bit faster with the billet borg. We got that same turbo running 5.50 to the 1/8th in a car 7-800lbs heavier then yours on less boost then you were running with the apex. So I'm guessing you will be bottom 5's at your weight without trying too hard.
U inspired me to build one too it's 2000 gt 6.0 twin s366 th400 set up my wife wanted one so she paid for the parts and I'm building it can't wait to see how it turns out full weight street car but hopefully decent track times

thats what im hoping for
dont want to have to push it as hard to make power.
if itll go 5.20s on a safe tuneup next year ill be happy.
the apex worked great for the price, but i dont think itll go much farther
i appreciate it
ive had a lot of help getting it as quick as it is.
its not setting records or setting the world on fire but im real proud of it.
the guy that tunes it has tuned a few of the fastest stock bottom end cars in the country. its a turd compared to their stuff but im having fun in the series ive been racing and i think its pretty impressive for the rules it has to meet
I really wish I had access to some of these people. It seems like there are some tuners that are able to just make these things last and run really well while most other can only do one or the other.
Beautiful car man I would love to do an 03 cobra swap some day it's a timeless body style
been working on this thing on and off for the last week or so
got the old motor pulled out without too much effort
after pulling it apart everything looked good still, there was a small spot on the edge of one of the chambers on the cylinder head that looked like it had seen some detonation but its nothing I'd worry about
