[QUOTE="Ryushin, post: 8775981, member: 38551"] I'm going to be doing this in stages stages. First: Upgrade the car so it can handle the power. Full MM grip kit including the IRS, [URL="http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/pics-videos-buffet-149/310854-pics-my-car.html#post3950476"]full sub frames with matrix bracing[/URL], Baer big brake kit, new half shafts, upgrade the transmission to viper spec and add a twin disc clutch, full return style fuel system, full Evan's cooling system. Second have the 2005+ heads sent to be ported. Then have someone who knows what they are doing build the motor. Someone like Al Papito or similar qualified builder. Port the Eaton or go with a TVS. Install the engine, put in 68 pound injectors and necessary fuel upgrades such as new rails, MAF, J&S Vampire knock sensor, etc. Have Rick at Amazon Racing tune it. Drive it for a month and make sure there are no issues. Install the Hellion twin turbo kit with 57mm turbo's and run an electronic boost controller. Run about 5 pounds at boost first to make sure everything is happy. Have Rick at Amazon Racing tune it. Then I can play with it from there. I understand that there are a lot of people that have had major problems. But there are plenty of people that have built their stuff and had it go somewhat smoothly. As for time and money. Well, I have more money than time. But I enjoy working on cars and if it takes awhile to get everything built then so be it. As for the money part, I have my own business, house will be paid off by March. In five years or so I will be looking at buying a Ford GT. I will four primary cars in my stable. 03 cobra, 68 Eleanor with the engine from my 03 cobra (This is going to be the time consuming beast to set up), a Ford GT, and bad weather driver such as a Evo X MR. I'm not some young kid. In fact I wish I was a young kid again, but alas, I just reached over the hill this summer. I mostly look for this site to offer encouragement and sound advice. Things like potential pitfalls and other things that I have not considered. In general have fun with such an amazing car and one I feel lucky to own. [/QUOTE]
