UPDATE 3/15/09. The car is undergoing a rebuild. The bottom end is getting a freshening up w/ new main cap bolts, bearings, deleting the balance shafts, switching to a 2.3L oil pump. The head is being overhauled with new springs, larger cams (2.3L HO). The entire turbo setup is being scrapped in lieu of a GT4088R, shorter plumbing, larger intercooler. I'm ditching HPTuners and going with an Electromotive TEC3 engine management. The suspension got a slight refresh with the current H&R springs and KYB AGX struts/shocks, as well as replacing most of the bushings w/ poly replacements. Shooting for a car that will be making between 550-600hp, if not more.
Bought brand new in late 2001. This car has been broken into three times, it has been hit by a drunk driver, the #3 rod bearing has spun on two different occasions, first in 2002, then in 2003. The motor has gone from N/A, to built N/A, to built with a little nitrous, then to its current incarnation of built with a GT30R Garrett turbo .
The car is and always will be under some form of construction. This is a continuing project where I will never be pleased. I do it for the desire, and love of screwing around on cars.
This is not some b/s, let the slips and vid do the talking. The goal for 2007 is to hit 11's and make a 120mph+ pass down the 1/4 mile. Currently the car is outputting 432hp 425tq on a mustang dynomometer on C16 gas. See vid below of my 12 second run.
