Immediately upon my honorable discharge, I returned back to the US after 9 years... and for the first time with the Mustang. Shipping cost overseas on most of this stuff was almost equal to the cost of the item. My goal was originally to road race in the FIA in 2011 but was injured and ultimately separated from active duty. My doctor insist that my back cannot tolerate the sustained G forces associated with competitive road racing.

So.... Back to drag racing it is :)

Over the last two years I have spoken to many professional shops here in the US. I chose a local shop to order parts, do the work and Dyno tune the car via Jon Lund himself...

I intended to Procharge the car but real life happens... My 3rd child is due this Christmas so forced induction has to wait. My goal now is a 3 phase upgrade and deciding on FI in P3. I need to keep the car future proof in case I do go FI and try to eliminate weight in the process. So far...

Stainless Works LT 1 7/8
SW Off Road X Pipe
SW Cat Back Retro Chambered
Street Lethal Performance Dyno Tune by Lund
Stage 3 Comp Cams
Weld Racing Magnum Wheels (2010 Cobra Jet)
15x10 rear with MT 325/50R15
17x4.5 front w/ front runners
Sway bar relocation kit
05-09 GT front disc brake swap (Brembo delete)

I would like to thank Paul from Stainless Works for the beautiful exhaust. Weld Racing for the stunning Magnum Drag wheels. Street Lethal Performance and Mr. Lund for the work.

I also have a lift off fiberglass 2000 Cobra R replica hood from Cervini but don't need it until phase 2.

I will post pics when I can, I am limited to iPhone Internet.

I heard that cams don't really do anything at idle. I'm more interested in numbers instead of sound.

if you're going to install those cams, you should get billet oil pump gears. The oil pump will be easily accessible
