Yeah, i thought well i have built a pretty fast turbo car, and have helped built quite a few turbo cars, time to play with some spray. Not to mention i have a baby now and have no time to constently be messing with a car. I need something that i can build have tuned and setup and then just play with on weekends. It seems i was always tweeking the supra or helping friends fix or adjust there turbo setups. Turbos are headaches, but when they are working right its like God is kicking you in the *** when you floor that bitch.

A block that can hold 1500hp has come in alot of cars 2jz, RB my 87 supra block has seen over 1000hp. The ls1 block is alum and i have seen it hold 800rwhp, and i have seen custom alum blocks hold 1500rwhp. The mod motors are nice, nice and heavy.

Or in your case, if you want alot of power FI your screwed either way with a Mustang.... LS1 with a turbo = single digits.

Just like with ANY car (with the possible exception of the GT500 and new ZR1), 9s doesn't come easy. At all. I know that you know this, but it's not like LS1+turbo automatically equals 9s or better.
