Hope you wake up early tomorrow morning.. We are Auto-Xing! This time we have a Mustang vs Mustang on the time clock!:D :unibrow: :D

...No. :lol:

won't make it. Way too early. Thanks for the invite. Can't act like an old person all the time though. I realized I can't act young when I'm old. It just doesn't work as well. Have fun autocrossing. I should have my Chevy back to lay the beat down on the Mustangs soon though, like two weeks...

I can see why these guys are saying LS as you can make the same power for a hell of a lot less. What does a pull out mod motor bring?

Maybe it is just me, and my terrible luck with LS stuff in the past, but it seems like big HP LS engines with relatively linear and smooth torque curves don't run much less than the Ford motors with blowers. I think once you want over 600, youre going to be to have to break open the piggy bank with LS stuff. Over 600 usually means forced induction or an LS7. My 454 LS7 should make 700 all day long, but it wasn't cheap to get there. Gregg warned me about what he called the "ls7 tax" and now I understand where he is coming from, and mine is only a hybrid LS7.

Coyote motors seem to run around 5-6k used and 6-7.5k for a new one depending on the various models. Superchargers run about 7k but usually that price includes everything you need.

Personally I'm starting to like the look of this combo.

http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/15880/10002/-1

the Edelbrock unit has the longest intake runners, and supposedly makes the most low end torque of the bunch.

Somehow I thought you were building the GT500... so just wasn't interested in looking to see what was really going on.

Personally - I'm very proud of you! It takes real guts to cut up a perfectly good car, take on the challenges, and see it through. It's not easy. It is fun.

I like what you've done. :thumbsup: :lateral: :cheers:

Thanks Greg! I definitely know what that line in your signature means now. What you didn't see from the pictures is how many times I had to fix things and do little stuff over, or try and figure out how to approach a situation. I'm sure you probably already knew that without me saying anything. I have to say, it is more rewarding by the day as i get more of a feel for what is going on. Somedays I just have to walk away, but that happens less often now. It definitely is a lot of fun. I'm starting to think I might have to build more stuff in the future that I can flip and sell at a loss, or ideally for the cost of the parts plus a little more money. :D

Vince, glad you made it down to BOS to pick up the Satelite. didn't realize that was you that was going to be getting the car. It has been sitting forever, and I've been hoping someone would be able to turn it into something cool one day.

Dave, you can keep trying to spend my money, but I doubt you'll get very far, with my credit card right now. The Camaro just went up on a trailer back to RPM for engine tuning. It's great news because it means I'll be able to drive it next week. It is not so great news for buying a Ford motor right now. I just got hit with the bill for pistons, and assembly, and will be hit for dyno tuning and some help from the mechanic at BOS to help get everything together.

Now, about these Ford Windsors, damn, they're expensive if you want to go all aluminum...
