After much delay, the time has finally come to create my build thread. I bought my car back in June '17 with a little over 14K miles on it and I am the second owner; my car currently has 90,000+ miles. The original owner traded it in for a Mustang GT but before doing so, he installed a AWE Track cbe and a COBB intake. Currently, the engine has been built and properly broken in and shortly after that was finished, I had to upgrade my LPFP for a 3rd time and went with a Stage 4 pump from Precision Raceworks. Back on 12/13/2021, I had my remote dyno tuning session with Ed and my car made 584 whp and 516 wtq. Now that it's been dialed in on the dyno, time to dial it in further on the street but that's not going to happen now because I now have a G30-900 turbo kit that I will be installing soon. As of 07/12/2022, my car is in the shop getting the transmission built because I pretty much destroyed it on a 60 - 130 pull. I removed my transmission and sent it up to NY to FFE Racing (https://www.forcefedengineering.com) who built me a dog gear set for 1st - 6th gears because I am replacing my standard 6MT with a sequential shifter from SQS Racing (http://www.sqsracing.com) and in order to shift through the gears at full throttle without using the clutch and keeping your foot down on the gas pedal, you need a sequential shifter paired with a dog gear set. FFE Racing has finished my transmission and they shipped it back on July 8th so hopefully I should get it back sometime this week. Once everything is back together and the new turbo kit is installed, I have to go through the tuning process again. The only downfall of having dog gears is that you can't daily drive with them or drive on the street because it will wear them out faster. They are built for full throttle racing so I am going have to rent a trailer for my car to bring it to the dyno shop just to get it dialed in enough to where I can then haul it to the dragstrip for further tuning and testing it out. Building my car to be a 1/4 mile track car and everything will be documented in here, which is why I am starting this thread. Now for my mod list...
