I need better pics on the car at night.  Made them with a set of LT1 blue tint mirrors to stay true to my '98 blue tinit ones.  Want to make a different set soon.  Could look better.

Finished.  Made 370 rwhp on mustang dyno.  Need a lot more. Still seems slow to me.  Going to be upgrading the LS6 intake and ported tb for a fast 92/92 or 102/102.  This intake is holding me back along with needing to upgrade the exhaust.  power is too addictive.

20  hours of handporting, not even counting epoxy work to fix what the very first owner did by not reading instructions about replacing valley cover bolts.  Had to fix 6 cracks.  Hope it holds together
