thats what i was worried about. things that large are not easy to install and do it right. even i wont attempt to do any more vinyle work that large, id rather pay someone to do it, it takes some serious skill.

do you know anything? seriously.

do you know what it takes to get a 1000hp? do you know what it takes to even keep TRACTION at 1000 hp? this is a daily driver moron. i dont see any drag car being built here. and i sure dont see $50k laying around to build a motor to 1000hp.

and did you honestly just say with out cams you can make 1000 hp?

I'll save money installing the exhaust myself its only axle back so not a big deal - I just need the ramps and I'm set..... then I'll have $500 to devote to the stripes and hopefully they won't be any hire than that!!

Oh and reason I don't want to go with a SC is be it ruins your gas mileage and lets be honest mine doesn't exactly get good mileage as it is.

Oh and oh again that Turbonetics system with give me about 500BHP on 93 octane which is more than enough for a daily driver.

For the moment I'll just stick to my CAI, exhaust and 93 octane race tune.

oh also, if you want to go turbo, you realise you can piece it together your self, and custom fab the exhaust system, and potentionally get a lot more power for a lot less money than any kit. and if ur gonna boost a v8, u really need to go twin turbo. only way to do it. each side of exhaust ports needs its own turbo.

I guess that would be pretty sweet, I've only seen one other twin turbo S197.... but its just a big money pit that I don't really want to get into.... Got to much other junk going on at the moment, I'm really trying to find someone local with more machine / engine knowledge so I can pay for the parts and have them do the work.....

if it comes down to it, use the factory jack, with some sort of jack stand for safety.

yeah going boost on pretty much any v8/american is a pain in the ***, takes some big bucks. and comes with heavy consequences you need to be ready for. its not as simple as a little honda or any other jap thing. not something you want for a daily driver by any means. unless you have something else to drive and the mustang can see some serious down time, i wouldnt even think about boost.

It wasn't what I was planning on going for but I got a sweet deal on a cat back system, unfortunately due to the price of stripe installed I had to cut back to an axle back system but still got a sweet deal on them! So yes you called them!!
