Sickly fast that is!
Now i know how hawks car must feel:D
Finally got all the mods and work done to the point where i can drive it,got a little more work to do but dam she scoots.
Put her sideways and laid about 20 feet of traction lock rubber in first,almost put her into the kurb(i'll have to watch that:evilgrin: ).
Seeing 10lbs of boost right now at 5500rpm with my vortech SQ-trim and she still wants to climb,but do to the limitations of the stock 5.0L block at this hp level i will keep it under 6k.
I'm goona surprise the hell out of some mustang and vet owners,muhhahahahaha!:flame:

I hate hearing that another Turbo coupe got chopped for a 5.0 conversion. But atleast it sounds like one hell of a bad ass motor went in there. Keep up the work and WE NEED PICS!

Yea and it's still boosted,lol.
Just love seeing the factory boost gauge rise again(i have an aftermarket autometer as well,also much harder now to watch that gauge than when the 4 banger was in there and keep it straight)and not for the 5.0L.
I gotta get pics up soon,just haven't had time as of yet.
Have a few slight things to work out before i start driving it again but no she goes how a 3900lb car should.

Thanks guys,figured you would appreciate some pics.
Has been about 2 years of finding parts for good deals(ebay,corral)
And i've been a little lazy lol,can't count how many people who asked me where i lived cause i had all these parts in my closet, lol.
Took about a week straight to get everything in and running decent,got a few things still left(finish up my msd install,chuck's motor mounts and a valvebody change)May tackle them today.
Just driving my SC for now till i get the TC setup so i don't burn it down.
All the that these blower companies feed you about "complete ready to run" setups,can't count how much money i spent on 42s,pms,wideband,regulator just to name a few,for reliability and do it yourself tuning.
Word of warning for anyone that want's to put a blower on there car:
1. reserch is KEY,can't believe how much i've learned that i did not know,spent hours on the corral,stangtuning,etc to understand the mechanics of forced induction.
2. Once you buy a used blower and think you got a deal,but really found out that an A-Trim is not what you wanted but an S-Trim is and have to sell it.
3. Don't think that your done spending just because you got a blower kit(thought i was till several thousand dollars later) all the extra parts you have to buy,as i mentioned above get costly.
4. Buying a blower to put on your 5.0L and mashing the gas to watch that factory boost gauge rise once again PRICELESS!!!
