I like the FAST intake 11.7 on that car on that setup is stupid awesome I am about the same time but on an ET street radial. Good job, car is amazing.
Thanks, There is more left in it. I changed the cam and converter last week and never got it re-tuned. I built the car more for daily use then to make into a track car.

I think the Green coupe is nice and I agree on the wheels. I do not really care for the CCW's on the Mustang, to me they just do not look right.

Under the hood still needs some work. I cut out the for a turbo and decided to go with the LS1 so I have to fix it.

I will have to load my interior shot when I get home this afternoon. Here are some under the hood Pics...

I see you have the George St. Pierre custom intake duct.

Add Magnacharger.

My brother is hounding me about putting one on the car. Before I go that route I would put my 88mm turbo on it. I still have the complete turbo kit from the SBF, all I will have to do is all the piping, send the BS3 back to get the box programed and new wiring harness. My fuel system on this car is good enough to support it, I used the Weldon pumo and fuel live off the turbo car on this one.

At this point I would rather leave it NA, if I did go turbo I would put it in the green GT I have since it has the 8.50 cage, 9", Parachute, good brakes, etc..

Agreed, my 4 eye front end is staying on, and a SBC will find its way under the hood some time this next year.

This^^^

I am doing a 79 Mustang/LS1 Swap with the Pace car nose. The unfortunate thing is she will be remaining primer black for a while as the old paint work is gonna be way out of budget.

Hey Chad, what times round about do you think the street warrior class in gonna be? I might wanna run it, but if its a 5.50 class then no way. I would hope it draws the real street cars and not a race car pretending to be a street car.
