Hey all!!
Im a member to several car forums on the web. I like to say that i specialize in the more difficult projects, esp v6 mustangs.
I own a 97 mustang v6, that i recently added a turbo to. The motor if fully built with forged internals, ported heads, intakes, ect ect ect. She lays down 448 hp@15.6 lbs of boost. Ive almost got her into the 10s, but racing season ended b4 i could get it.
I just recently purchased a 88 tbird turbo coupe last week. She has 243,000 miles on it and still runs strong.
Ill add pics up here soon

Ya the track closed first part of Dec! Usually opens first part of march tho. Just enough time to tear motor down and get car ready for the next season
I know what your talking about tho. I used to live in VT, like 5 min from the canada border! It sucked thats why i moved down here.

Thanks Guys!!
I only plan on doin some small mods to the motor for now. A friend has ported intake, heads, and some other goodies that we are goin to put on.
however she is gonna need a new tranny. Im lookin to go with a 5 speed. The guy that owned the car b4 me just installed the new pedal assembly so the hard part is done. We can do a tranny swap in a couple of hours at the shop.

To answer your question massCougarxr7, I am gonna leave it a turbo car. Just gonna do some small mods to it. Then next year when i upgrade my turbo in the mustang, im gonna put the 61mm turbo in the coupe. Should be fun then!!!!
