Got some more progress today, Shawn from VA Speed Donated a set of Magnum Trojan Rubber for the back, got them mounted today and they fit even better than the old ones. Found a couple of pics from Friday...

damn. ****in shoe horned! lol. hands down best project ive seen in the last few years. congrats!
Yeah you ain't telling me nothing. We had to shorten the lower control arms 8 or 10 turns to get the wheels centered in the wheel wells and there is little to no room.
looks sick though! those tires are "bad dude" shit! get someone to shoot some real nice video of your car, its definitely worthy!! good luck, lets see some 7.40s on those bad boys!!

Got the 30s tucked and plenty of clearance...
Damn that is a great looking car. Sounds awesome.
We went down to MIR today for a Test and tune day with our Drag radial LSx Mustang. Temps were hot, mid 90s until the rain came. After the rain came temps settled down to the mid 80s. Track was not the best it could have been but it was good. They sprayed it and drug it once maybe twice. Anywho last week at the track we made 2 passes on low boost:
8.2 @ 178
8.1 @ 170
We had issues with the TPS but its fixed now. Fast forward to today our first pass was ugly. Car pulled HARD to the left and ended up cutting the edge of the driver tire pretty good but its still useable That pass was a
5.72 @ unknnown MPH
Second run we adjusted the suspension and raised the back the car car up 3 turns and ran the same setup. That pass was alittle faster but the car still bogged out of the hole, not enough power with the bigger tires.
1.40 60'
5.40 @ 139mph 1/8 mile
We knew we needed more power so we raised the launch RPM 100 RPMs and brought alittle more boost in quicker and the time slip definitely showed it.
1.38 60'
5.23 @ 146mph 1/8 mile
That run we knew we had a 7.99 in the car if we had ran it out and the A/F was right. So for the last pass we added alittle more boost and brought it in alittle faster in what is a very soft tuneup. We were hoping the car went a 7.90 maybe an 7.80. Shawn from VA Speed lined me up and I staged the car, moved in quick and grabbed the transbrake. Car settled down, pro tree came on and I was out. Shawn said the car left VERY lazy, didn't pick up the front wheels at all. He said he had a bad feeling about the pass until we lit up the score board.....
1.39 60'
5.01 @ 150 1/8 mile
7.6 @ 188.7 1/4
The A/F on that pass was still in the high 10s and we still have timing left on the table. The tuneup was still very soft, the car didn't start to move until 330'. Looks like the LSx world just got another mid 7 second drag radial contender. Next time out we're shooting for 7.40s @ 195 and we're all expecting to get it.

Man I really need to take a step back and thank some people.
Shawn Miller from Virginia Speed - We got our Precision turbo from Shawn man I can't say enough about him. Shawn has made the 3 hour trip every time we've gone to the track to give us a hand with the tune-up/chassis setup. Shawn is just a great guy, the first time he came down he brought his Wife and Children. He came up saturday for a sunday track rental and after finally meeting him words can't describe this guy. He asked where was a good hotel that his family could stay and we didn't even think twice and offered his family to stay at our home. Shawn looked at his wife and said "Do people like this really exist anymore?" Well brother I can't say thanks enough for all the hard work, dedication and late hours we worked a couple nights. I owe you alot.
Brian Sanford - Crew Chief/assistant - Brian has been a long time friend for some time and he has the same passion for turbocharged WHATEVER. Tractors, cars, trucks... if its turbocharged he is on it. Thanks for all the help and support at the track.
Jason @ Texas Speed - We got a bulk of our parts from Jason, this is our 2nd big build we have used him and he gets the parts out quick at a decent price.
Dan/Dave Wolfe @ Wolfe Racecraft - Thanks guys for the 25.5 chassis kit we never thought we would be weighing at 3150 without ballasts but we did.
Brian Jeffery(MADMAN and Co Racing) - Brian got us hooked up with a Fire surpression system and a couple small things and a TON of knowledge. Thanks for taking the time to help and get our combo sorted out.
Kurt Urban(Kurt Urban Performance) - Thanks for the support through the middle leg of the build and getting us pointed in the right direction with the motor. The top end setup does not push any water and the custom camshaft does everything you said it would. Thanks again man!
Mike Thompkins(T & G Performance) - Mike is a local engine builder that build everything from Ford/Dodge/Chevy powerplants. Mike did all of our Machine work on the LSx block and made a couple parts on the lathe and mill. Mike also supplied us with our Wayne Rogers Powerglide.
Joe Simpson(Tempest Racing) - Joe is a guy we've known for a while he is big into imports but loves turbochaged race-cars. He opened his shop many hours they were closed so we could use the dyno and get the tuneup dialed in. Thanks man!
Brian Brown(Quick Time Motorsports) - Thanks for the Intercooler, tank and misc v-bands.
Bob/Brant Romero(B & R Welding Supplies) Thanks for the Miller Tig, Mig and plasma cutter and all the shielding gas I could ever use.
