Nothing like ruining a perfectly good Mustang by installing a Mitsubishi engine into it. This is what happens when ricers get a hold of real cars, absolutely pathetic. Now it's basically a rolling chassis, waiting to have a real engine installed into it.
Wildman must have gotten his auto-email anytime someone on this site posts anything to do with Mitsubishi.
It's a 4G63. That is what they do.
Checkout the DSM Shootout or Buschur Racing or AMS.
Here is a Fox that ran 8's in 2013.

It's a great combo. Solid Drag Chassis with a powerful, reliable, inexpensive motor. It's also simple and easy to work on. Compare wrenching on that to a 32v turbo...
Yup, glad someone has some knows in here.
I take it you never owned a DSM. That thing will need a rebuild every 6 passes. Evos are cool but, they sure ain't reliable at non stock power levels.
This is coming from a guy that had 2 Starions, a GTS-T and a 2003 Evo.
The downfall of most these cars/setups is the AWD. Throw in a good trans and rear end setup in lieu of AWD, and that 4g63 puts out like a desperate fat chick on prom night. There isnt a "built" transfer case solution that can withstand the abuse, sure you can throw a shep trans in there and bang gears at 8500rpm/1k awhp all day but if your transfercase cant, its only a matter of time.
I recall back in my DSM days hearing the guys at the shootout had 2-3 spare transfer cases on the ready. Easy to swap too, 5 bolts iirc and its out.
This coming from the guy with 4 dsm's (two awd, two fwd) who's helped people intentionally destroy their dsm's to justify new parts to their significant others. Those cars are more durable than you think........
