The engine was thrown together in a BIG hurry, so I wouldn't doubt something was missed. I need to go down to his shop and finish tuning an EFI setup this week, so I'll get more details.

He's a damn good driver-- a bit too aggressive at times (he gets flagged for unsafe passes with alarming regularity, LOL!) The car is pretty stock overall though in terms of suspension & drivetrain.

His track-only Mustang is quite a bit faster, and if it had a license plate he would have brought that instead. It's all bolt-on TCP suspension but has fender & quarter flares with 315/35/17 front and rear and an EFI 427" aluminum SBF, Jerico 4-speed, and CNC brakes. That car is a blast around a track... but the Shelby is no slouch either.
