Background:
Ok, the body style is 91 but it is a rebuilt car.  The cost to get my turbo project together was almost $1000 but keep in mind some parts were used or like the 3.73 were already on the car (injectors, mass,some piping, obviously the turbos and intercoolers were used) and this is excluding parts like my msd that is not mine and not in use right now b/c i had a miss and needed it to go away while I was at NORWALK FFW.

BREAKDOWN:
Ok.  Here's my story.  I got my stang from my father in trade for my 2 Mustang bodies.  He originally had Canfield heads, Cobra intake, and a Vortech running 15# of boost that ran him a best of 11.65 at 125 mph with all kinds of problems so he sold all his goodies. We threw in the stock 5.0L at the time and began work
on the turbo project (based on April 98 issue of MM&FF).  This was the winter of 2000-2001 that the car fabrications began.  Obviously we got 2 turbos, 2 super coupe intercoolers, SFMU, and piping to start with, while keeping the stock injectors.  Originally the car started with the stock headers that were just flipped upside-down in place to have a top mount on the car and then have a downward exhaust.  The intercooler mount positions have remained the same on the car til this day.  Obviously the battery was mounted in the trunk with a Moroso box. The car ran good but when I blew a head gasket in the fall the first time we ran 20# of boost at the track we decided to start over the following winter.  I purchased flowtech headers from summit and used the turning mount method to redo the turbo positioning as they are now so they dump in the lower front.  Using already made pipes we hade from a much earlier JY TT project we welded those straight to the new headers and positioned the turbos as they are now on the pre-made pipes.  Instead of having a flange welded onto the turbo's exhaust as before we decided to just completely cut off all flanges and weld a squared 3"
pipe to the turbo and then crimp it down to 2.5" the rest of the way.  Also over the winter I got the 30# injectors in trade for a used stang computer and $50. The Mass air I am borrowing off a buddy whose stang is in permanent repair it seems.  Also over the winter my father drilled out 1/2" studs for the heads so that we could torque them tighter (ARP STUDS).  The oil filter is on a 90 degree adapter and the front sway bar is lowered using spacers. I eliminated the A/C compressor that was just sitting there eating up horses and go the power steering mount bracket to move it where it is now.  I've never seen a car with so many clamps and wire ties everywhere.

To date the car runs strong but its a never ending battle.  My goal was to get the most out of the stock 5.0 without any heads or intake work.  If I could just get better traction I would get better times.  My best ever 60' time was 1.72 which ran the 11.59 at 121.6 on slicks and a 2.0 which ran a 11.9 at 119 on bald BFG Drag Radials.  I'm gonna need a good job after College because I got an expensive Need For Speed!!!
