I also found one of the old build threads. Most of the details listed there never came to fruition and I changed stuff around to my liking (including motor and turbo set up) Car never got the BS3 instead I put a FAST ECU in it and FAST digital dash. The car also has a quick release steering wheel and not the factory one in the pictures.

Any plans on installing the trans cooler and getting a tune? Might be a good idea to finish that last .005% of the project, nice to see some numbers to. Love the car.

We know what the combo made in two other cars which the motor is a replica of. It wont make less than what those cars made as there are a few upgrades to this car that those cars didn't get. Stenod put this car together with a lot of knowledge from the learnings of Harlan's and Tom's car...as I mentioned about any potential buyer can talk to him directly.

If you are looking for a tuner and are in MI get a hold of Dr. Phil or Motor City Speed. Tom's car is tuned by Stenod/Billy there.

Well I ended up going with Vector for tuning. I was going to go with Dr. Phil originally, but he was a complete a**hole, so I said no way lol. I was just curious about Stenod, cause I could never seem to reach them. Thanks for the info

Yea Phil knows his stuff but he is difficult unless you know him. If you tune through shops like Lidio you get a Dr. Phil tune but work third party through Lid. Steve at Vector is good. His personal car has a Stenod cage in it.

Gotcha! Yeah I went with Lidio for years when I had my Mustang, and he was awesome, but I heard the same as what you are saying about Dr. Phil actually being the one behind the tune. Steve did a great job, and i'm very happy. The previous owner had the the car tuned by a place called Collins Automotive Repair (C.A.R.S.) and it was a horrible friggin tune lol. They are now out of buisness and I can see why lol. I really wanted Phil, but the guy was completely unreasonable, and I just couldn't deal with that

Deal didn't work out.
Car is back on the market.
If there is anyone here that thinks the car will only make 650RWHP don't waste my time or yours by even reaching out to me.

Bringing this post up from the dead. Finished a few more small things on the car but still don't have time for it. Finishing my two single turbo mustang builds and a new-born is consuming my life.
Open to all types of trades, just want someone to enjoy this car.

this car is insanely nice, all jeff's stuff is top notch.
with the group of people that had their hands in this project, its nothing short of the best. I saw this car at the Detroit autorama a few years back, and at stenods shop while it was being built. worth every penny, and more.
would be awesome if it stayed local, id love to see it make some passes!
