You wouldn't do that if you lived down here and planned to drive it in the summer.

Lots of littles came in.


1/2npt tap/drill
heat wrap
turbo blanket


Still need a bunch of stuff, but my body has been pretty pissed off lately and I'm doing what I can to stay out of ER for pain control.

Wife ended up taking me to ER yesterday. I'm sick and tired of getting treated like a junky when I need help. I ended up refusing medical treatment, as they only would give me half of what it takes to get my pain under control and were complete assholes about the whole ordeal. My wife called my doctor and he called in a prescription for me exactly what I needed, no questions asked and today I fell much better.


Time to start looking at other options, I've been holding back hoping things would improve over time - like I've been told by many other survivors.

Got out and tinkered around today. Car is in the air, and I wrapped the hotside. Next up will probably be dropping the pan and tapping it for the return line. It's a pain in the ass but it's got to be done.


My brothers co worker has a supercharged roush stage 27 mustang and he's talking smack, it's the 700whp setting. At 650whp he was still .5 to slow for me N/A -so I doubt things will have changed much. The car might have to go out N/A one more time. It's a little lighter now that the a/c and n2o crap is gone.

My bro is still working on the 351w/c6 swap into his white mustang. It'll get a turbo too. He somehow ran the blue car out of oil, and thrashed the bottom end, which sucks because he sold it to my dad - and it wasn't his when he broke it.


I'll get some pics up tomorrow - phone is damn near dead and doesn't want to sync photos.

Don't get me wrong Mike, it was a hard decision, but I couldn't double the budget to keep it.

Exhaust is off and headers are out. Calling it a day. I'm tired of being soaked with sweat.

Boxes and boxes of parts showing up. Still need a lot of nickel and dime stuff. Still up in the air on the cam, it's got 8* of overlap - I might just run it and see how it does. 75% sure I don't want to spent the money for an ecu right now. 900lph of fuel pumps showed up today!
