Turning my quest into a dsm.

I want another ride but not like the same circumstances as last time. :D

Badass numbers man! Don't you have billet rods in this thing? How come you're afraid to push it to 30? I say do it to it! Then again, I'll take a reliable 450whp over a broken 500whp car any day.

What fuel pump do you have in it right now? Walbro? BAP and push those 1000's to 101% baby!

*edit* eleven, I mean push them to eleven.

Negative on the aftermarket rods. The guy has an 044 to trade so I'm gonna do that quick and go back for maxing some 1000's haha.

And not that this actually happened, but last night I imagined going up against this stang that was on spray and went 11.40 or something. He got the v8 torque jump and pulled about three or four cars on me before I finally had a tall enough gear. But the gap started closing fast and I passed him banging the rev limiter in 4th.

Sometimes my imagination can run wild I guess.

[Swifty1638]

Sounds like an active imagination! I can relate ;)

Well I got the intercooler pipes recut and rewelded to fit the new intake manifold. Got a mustang 5.0 throttle body that needs an idle valve and TPS, and John's old 1680cc injectors. Very excite.

^x2 on the very excite, i heart this car.

I can imagine reading this thread is hard because it seems like parts are missing. They are. After getting the 433 tune, the clutch began to slip, so instead of getting a new clutch like I should have, I took the advice of the guy at spec and cleaned my slipping clutch and put it back in. And even at 22psi, it was slipping, so that was a bad idea and lots of labor for crappy results.

I have ignored that lately and gone with the new intake mani you see up above, and a new fuel system. I made a sump in my stock tank and will be installing the fuel pump under the rear bumper for all you slower cars to see. The picture above is "upside down" but you get the idea. It's a whole lot of billet aluminum back there, and it's going to be loud, haha. But it supported 650awhp at DB, so I know it'll be more than I need for the time being...

Don't they usually see the passenger door?

What's the new plan for the clutch?

[FattyBoomBatty]

You burned me good! lol.

Plan fo' the clutch is to just get their upgraded pressure plate and possibly a new disc, but the plate is supposedly good for 100 more lbs of torque than the current one I have.

I'll need it too. Trying for 50-100 more hp than the previous max. I don't know why though, since 430 was super fun.
