Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Anywhere to see build info and pics/videos of it?

He isn't an online person. I had it as a rental car for a week when I flew out to arizona. On a stock l99 automatic 2012 SS it made 680rwhp/740rwtq. Plenty of fun on the street. That was 11psi with dual 56mms. This is the shop prototype car. Final kits will be all powdercoated. Just waiting on the manifold casting to be machined before shipping them.

I only have a few pictures I took when I had it

Turbos are tiny little 56mms. They spool around 1800rpms full boost.

Car is bone stock besides the turbo kit and rims. Street tires/pump gas, first time out went a bunch of 11.7@126-127 spinning through 3rd gear. Several times he lined up against a paxton 2012 car with headers, boss intake, etc and that car ran 12.0@122-123 for reference.

Camaro needs a stall bad. Stock stall wouldn't let it launch or spool up off the line at all.

Anyways, camaros are lame so back to mustang talk.

Local mustang place said just do the ARH 1 7/8". They have installed a ton and like them the best. I've always had great luck with them and ARH headers I've put on other cars. The $1200 price tag is hard to swallow though.

Good news, wife got referred to the selection committee for the job she applied for in Dallas. So even if I don't get this job, she has a very very good chance.
