It has been crazy here @ the shop trying to get the Mustang ready for Optima... We hurt the engine @ RTTC.. SO plan B was put into effect.. The new engine is making 605 hp with 540 tq @ the crank naturally aspirated.. also upgraded from a five speed to a 6 speed.. Plus alot more.. But the icing on the cake is the car on it's new Forgelines!

Got to tune the car, Put back on the PJ decals.. & hope we are ready!

Ok.. I can only keep this under wraps for so long... but I might as well let the cat out of the bag... Mast Motorsport 416 LS3 with a RPM Transmission Stage 5 Road race T56... Tonight we put in the 4.10 gears!

We did this LS conversion in 2 weeks... My crew was busting ass to get it done! We just felt that we would not have gotten the Ford motor rebuilt in time..

Just out of curiosity (and I know this is way off topic but bare with me), how much bondo do you usually end up using when you smooth a firewall? How thick of a pass of bondo is acceptable for something like that? I lined mine all up and spent A LOT of time making sure it was straight and I have made sure to tack around the edges rather slowly to avoid warpage. Well, it warped, I don't know how I ended up doing that.

How do you avoid warping such a large flat area?
