You may remember an earleir post where I told about a guy that was going to sale me a 67 mustang for 2k. Well it's been about 3 weeks and the guy hasnt called, so me and the ol lady stopped waiting. I have talked he into letting me spend the 2k on something for my car. In turn she gets to spend the income tax return as she see's fit. As opposed to our 50/50 deal before lol. Now you cant really do ALOT with 2 grand in the world of F/I unless your going with nitrious. And after alot of thought I decided to stay away from that. I'm sure I could peice together a custome kit for close to that, but I didnt want to do that either. What I like most about company "kits" is that they are tested to work. After alot of reading and alot of asking questions this is what I went with.

Unfortunatly this kit dosnt come with a K member like the better known Hellion kit does. So I gotta get that, and an over flow tank and upper hard line and fill neck. I upgraded to a black ceramic coat for an extra 500 bucks. It will prolly be a little while before I get everything done, money moves slow in this house. I'll be running stock internals for awhile so 9/10 psi is my guess as to where the boost will be at. Maybe a little lower as turbos are more efficient the S/C and I'm not looking to put more the 450 or so to the wheels with the stock rear end. Anyway, thought I would share this, I'm very excited. Still gonna be doing alot of waiting though.

Sounds awesome, too bad the other deal fell through though, sure sounded good. Keep us updated, look forward to seeing this thing come together.

LOL, he ain't the only one with secrets! Looks like you're determined to hit those 10's. I'm still debating looks or performance, 10's sound good, but some new rims would really set the car off. $1k in mods would put me well in the 10's, man I hate decisions. You guys need to quit so I'll be satisfied!

LOL, oh no this isnt going to be on anytime soon. This purchase drained my play money. i still need a k member and all the other things I mentioned. On top of that I'm going to need a stronger flywheel and clutch, better tires for sure. And then I still got to pay to get it tuned. Sooooo with how broke I am, I'm guessing it wont be till mid spring next year before its ready to go. Till then it's just a 2valve with a few bolt ons lol.

EDIT: and I'm prolly going to go to a taller gear, like 3.73s. So that another 200 bucks give or take. I can do those myself though.
