Been awhile, but she's back together and running good. Still a few small things to do (hot side coating, rework the exhaust, install boost controller, etc.), but hopefully the major stuff is behind me.
Some updated pics...
Engine bay, interior, etc...
Ford 8.8, 4-lug...great shape.
Can arrange for pickup at NMRA in Bowling Green this weekend.

Kit is nearing completion, just a few more steps to go (polishing cold side, coating the hot side, plumbing the wastegate etc.). Engine bay prep and paint is next, then motor assembly. Block is done...
Hellion Kit for 5.0. Comes with 62mm turbo, intercooler, piping, MAF, 42lb. injectors, wastegate, and Tial BOV. Crossover has been modified to work with a powerglide. With the kit on my stock block, stock headed 302, the car has gone a best of 6.78 @ 104 in the 1/8th blowing through the...

Needed to get some more air to the radiator, tranny cooler and intercooler, so a buddy of mine came up with an idea to do something other than drilling some holes. We did take a 2" hole saw and cut a series of seven holes in the front bumper support to help let in as much cool air as possible...
First time out this year, and it ended up being a pretty good night. Improved my personal best 1/8th mile time to a 6.78 @ 104.25. I've got the slip, and will post it below. I've also got a couple videos from a couple runs earlier in the evening. Should have the video of the 6.78 at some...
Couple vids from test n' tune a week or so ago.
Runs were made @ 9-10psi.

Seeing as how I'm the first guy ever to put Draglite's on a fox body, here's some pics. BFG DR's out back and Kumho's up front. Car's definitely hooking better now.
I was told not to use one of these in an A-pillar pod. Had something to do with it not being able to sit level?? Anyone using a mechanical fuel pressure gauge in their pod? I've got the mechanical boost gauge for it as well. Any suggestions on a something other than a FP guage to go in the...
I've searched through the site, and read thread after thread on catback systems. The usual suspects seem to reoccur in every thread. Those being the JDM Silver Bullet, Bassani and Magnaflow. I've also read several people state that the stock L exhaust flows great, and that changing the cat...
Just traded my BMW M3 in for a 2002 Lightning. Haven't felt the same since I sold my 98' Cobra a couple years back, so I've managed to return to Ford, even after owning the Ultimate Driving Machine. It's awful good to be back, and I'm looking forward to reaquainting myself with SVT performance.
I am seriously considering buying a Compucar Nitrous in a Bag kit tomorrow. Am I asking for trouble, or will I be just fine. I am only looking at using the 50hp nozzles. I know I will have to retard my timing adjuster, and have already switched to Autolite 764's. Are there any other steps I...
