This is my '98 LGT.  About the only thing still stock on the car is the stearing column.  Everything engine, brake, and suspension related has been replaced with WRX, STI, or better.

On a low reading mustang dyno, the car is putting down 355whp and 365 ft-lbs.  The car was putting down 350whp on another dyno before the new turbo and block, but the car pulls much harder now.  I would love to post a dyno chart, but the guys at PDX Tuning in Portland won't answer any emails now that they got their money.

Here is what has been done to the car:
