This build was a collaboration of the very best in the industry and I want to take a moment and thank everyone individually.

L&M Engines (L&M Engines) – Michael and the boys build one hell of an engine. Not only does it make huge power, it’s been proven to be very reliable with everything we’ve been throwing at it.

Kenne Bell Twin Screw Superchargers (www.kennebell.net.com) Jim and Ken supplied us with the 3.6LC Twin Screw Supercharger and 168mm Oval Throttle Body. They build the Coolest Supercharger on the planet.

Lund Racing (Lund Racing - EFI Tuning Specialists) – What can’t I say? Jon Lund has been tuning for us for the past 8 Years and is simply the best. This past weekend we showed up at the NMRA Ford Nations at MIR with an untested combination and within six ¼ mile passes the car ran an 8.94@159MPH. Simply Amazing!

JLT Performance (www.jlttruecoldair.com) If you don’t know Jay and his awesome line of Cold Air Intakes and Oil Separators then you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past 8 years. All I can say is the quality as usual is top notch and the Damn thing is Massive. No Restriction on this setup!

American Racing Headers (American Racing Headers) Nick builds the best Longtube headers in the industry using American Stainless Steel and built in America by American workers. They always fit perfect and always make power. Maybe that’s why their used by the fastest in the industry, including Ford Racing’s Cobra Jet.

Steeda Autosports (Mustang Parts | Steeda is The Largest Manufacturer of Mustang and Other Ford Products Made in The U.S.A.) Big thanks to Don and Dario for supplying us with some Hardcore Race suspension parts that could handle the abuse we put in through on the drag strip.

Chuck Wrzesniewski (Chuck@Evolution)(Evolution Performance, Inc. Lead Technician) This guy has a passion for this industry like no other. As most you know he always offers his advanced technical help to the community and will go out of his way to do so. Chuck did an excellent job putting this car together especially in the little time frame we had.

Team Evolution Performance - All of our Good Friends and Customers that have supported us over the years. Most recently Chris Cruz, Chelo Morales and Domenic DiDonato helped us this past weekend at the NMRA Ford Nationals. We ran 8.94@159MPH Friday Night and made it to the Semi-Finals on Sunday. Your help was an integral part of our accomplishments and was very much appreciated.

First 13 GT500 in 8's with a stick? Hell it's like one of THREE Mustangs ever to run 8's with a synchronized real stick shift transmission that I know of. There is only one 6 speed fbody in the 8's, well two if you count that 2010 Camaro that did it, only a couple Vipers (one went 7.9's also though), a handful of Supras (one of those also went 7.90's) and I do noty think any vettes.

WAY WAY WAY WAY more impressive than watching a run of the mill auto car do it.

I wonder if it would 60ft better with a steel flywheel? Get the shifts sped up, drop a few numbers off of the 60 ft and it will go deep 8.80's, gosh damn!

Just damn impressive especially considering how long Lethal and thebull tried to accomplish this and never did! What weight reduction was done? Any reason for not running more boost? Plans to run the 4.2LC?

Wow nasty! ! She will go at least a couple of tenths quicker with improved shifting. That car is insane, almost lifting the tires off the ground shifting to 3rd.
