ok pro is the 14-71 mounted yet?

Nope. I'm going the twin tubo route! LOL!

let me guess twin 88mm's LOL?

Absolutely! LOL!

O i would have gone with twin 106s LOL, i dout that car could muster up enough exhaust to spool a single 106 let alone two.

Oh come on M1! It's a whopping 215cu in! No Prob! :005:

O boy!!! a whole 215!! holy crap, how do you ever keep the tires hooked?

It sounds funny, but the 3.5L in the Special puts out MORE power per cubic inch than the Hemi! IF the Hemi made the same power per cubic inch it would make 420hp!

It's a great little engine really.

I believe that there is no replacement for displacement but given what's available today, new car prices, insurance cost, fuel cost, etc., etc. The 3.5L/260+ hp motor that gets 26mpg is a winner in my book.

When I want to go kick some ax on the imports or burn some rubber I pull out the Mustang, scare the neighbors and have fun!

haha yeah but nothing sounds better than a camed big block.the last time we had our stang out we did a few test launches on our road (we own the road) we shook the neighbors windows and put ripples in his pool.

I've always been a big fan of normally aspirated, but Procharged is right. It is costing more and more to take a ride to the corner store. Besides, technology has moved forward by leaps and bounds. These days, you don't necessarily need the displacement and the smaller engines tach up very quickly too.

yeah i know trust me there are a ton of new cars these says that are getting good mileage and can still blows doors off, but you cant beat having a 9 sec street car that shakes the earth.

Agreed! There will always be something special about a vintage muscle car or a serious street/strip machine. Until I owned the Mustang I scoffed at small blocks. I after all was a 440 Magnum guy (wishing for a 426 Hemi...like we all do) tearing up the asphault in my '69 Charger R/T.

The power & performance of the 5.0L Stang can't be taken lightly.....It's kind of the '80's & '90's version of the '60's 350 Camaro really.

I'll never forget halping my friend at the track one day with his SSO Mustang. Running 26x10 M/T slicks, mufflers, and a seriously bad 342" stroked 302 with a HUGE F-2 Procharger (or could have been a Vortech Mondo XX-Trin at the time). He line up against a 632" '69 Chevelle (a very nicely built car) with 14x32 slicks. He ripped off a 8.67 @ 167mph to the Chevelle's 8.89 @ 158! The Chevelle guys we're joking about how bad they'd spank the little blue Mustang as the cars staged.
:005:
Guys have pushed their Mustangs MUCH MUCH harder since then with the top players running in the 6's on 10" wide slicks and Low 6's @ 230mph+ on prostock tires.

well, enough of my rambling..........

very true our mustang is a 302 out to 414 and there is still hundreds of horse power we could squish out of it, how about this stang this is our friends new car he just built.

Very nice! Looks like he was overpowering the track though!......

he could have been but it did not seem to bother the car at all. he is only running a 700+ inch big block with more spray then you could shake a stick at.
