There you have it! I'll post more as they come around :)

Well the man upstairs (Tom) told me to post up some video's of the beast getting tuned and whatnot. Here you go! :)

tuning and "driving next to" a new mustang

some more tuning by the great master

and yet some more tuning...the best part is towards the last thirty seconds

and enough with the meh and onto the racing!

Bad auto-xing (second time out ever still came first in class)

and racing at Illiana with a PARTIAL TUNE, not finished by any means (not even to the quality in the videos of the tuning prior to this), and noticed after I was done the squirmy steering was sticking rear breaks...I WILL make it again this year and I hope to win ;) I won't be on stock 16's and I won't have sticking rear breaks and I WILL have the star specs on with a better tune ;)

Nice list, subscribed.

Thanks! Kinda shocked noone commented until now. I didn't think it was THAT crappy ;)

Adding to the list of things to do...make a belly pan for the heat exchanger and radiator to hopefully make that work a little better as well. Picked up an aluminum sheet for super super cheap.

go wash that engine bay [neener]

I haven't washed the car in over a year the whole thing needs it lol

How much power do you expect out of the Powerworks kit?

Good question. It is fast. Not sure though I have never dyno'd it. If I threw a number out it would be a complete guess.

I like it, just wish it was a lil cleaner, but function>form is better anyway, makes for a fun ride! Also glad that you didn't get an aftermarket bumper to replace the broken F2. Can't wait to see it and meet you at FF!

I'm happy too see your old SVT in your car :D

It'll get cleaner don't worry :) I didn't know this was the final photo shoot ;) I literally haven't cleaned the car in a year since it hasn't move really in that time. Once it's finished up it'll look A LOT nicer :) Well...if it's painted by the show :)

Thanks Rudel :) Yet the seats and gauges...but gauges will soon be changed to something else.
