Future plans:
The
future of this car is hopefully to run 10's (or high 9's if I get really crazy).
I have purchased and installed some TrickFlow heads and a new intake, but
have yet to run it with this setup at the time of writing. Everything up to
now was to see what I could do with the stock long block. I
think 11.88 is respectable for the chassis I have. The next big step is the
tranny. I would like to put the internals from a 4R70W into my AODE case with
a transbrake valvebody. I want to launch hard! so hopefully building boost
off the line will do the trick with the transbrake. The stock AODE has held
up well with Baumann shift kit.
Background:
Purchased
in late 2002, it was a bone stock Mustang GT that ran a very slow 15.3. I
wanted the last of the 5.0 for a reason; I knew the day I bought it that it
was going to be a turbo car, and I knew that everything for the 5.0 would
typically be more affordable. I purchased the single
most expensive speed part in my life a few months later, and the first speed
part that ever touched this car, a PTK T64 turbo kit. My first run at the
strip with the new kit had me hooked. Ever since then I have been slowly but
surely beefing up the car to be able to handle more and
more of the turbo's potential. My goal is a 10 second street machine that
still behaves like a well mannered street car without breaking the bank (or
the block). I want the best compromise of both worlds of streetability/performance
for the dollar. I would also like to show the supercharger guys that more
power is to be had with a turbo dollar per dollar, and to also humble some
Corvette and Viper owners. My previous projects have been the typical big
cam, large converter street machines that were born before I was; they were
fun, just not the most enjoyable to drive for more than an hour. I hope this
car fills the gap. After I've replaced the stock block with a Dart, I might
then start to aim for some 9's.
