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 85,000 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. Prior to having my engine built, my car made 528 whp and 433 wtq. Currently, the engine has been built and properly broken in but now my LPFP is at its limit so I have to upgrade that, once again, to a bigger pump before Ed can work on a new tune, which I will have done on a dyno first and then dial it in further on the street. Then, when that is finished, I will take it to the track to start testing it out. I want to see how far we can take my current turbo before upgrading to a bigger one. My car will eventually be a 1/4 mile track car which means I will gut her out of everything possible and throw some slicks on her. Everything will be documented in here, which is why I am starting this thread. Now for my mod list...
