custom downpipe, custom midpipe, and just an ebay manifold....see how that holds up.
I kinda started getting carried away with other things.
Bought this car from someone who had no clue what they were doing, jacked it up all over.
My 5 year old could have done better
So I ripped it all apart and started over, kept some parts, like that manifold.

OK, here it is
due to the tranny, I've decided to keep the boost lower until it's swapped out.
Still working on the fuel leak, the idiots that built this car before I had it used locktite and some other crap work to run wiring to fuel pumps. Getting a fitting to do it right.
Next gotta put the brakes on
Dyno looks off, because it is. Wasn't calibrated. I'll have the final one soon.
This run was 500rwhp at 22PSI on a mustang dyno
and a quick video, moooore to come...this one is bad
That was more of a teaser

Here's the goop that was used to seal the gas tank. No idea what it was. liquid nails, bondo. who knows. could be chewing gum from all the stuff those idiots put in this car. I'm confident I've covered every inch now....

Tank sealed
Wired a switch for e-cutout for manual control. AEM will automatically open but here's a fail safe
Drag radials on order. There is absolutely no traction. At all.
Alignment coming
Detail after that
Got a little oil leak that's getting attention first though. Damn
