So I have been a member on here since 2004 it says? Geeze... I can't believe I remembered my password.
I went and parked the Mustang after constant problems with it so its been sitting for about 4 years now. I bought my Vette Dec. '06 after they wanted 30k over MSRP for the GT500 and the mustang only drives a couple blocks a week on private roads anymore since. I plan on having JBA here in San Diego do a full run down on the car because I am selling my 2007 Vette Z51 and I have the cash. A lot of new technology is out there now and I have like a month to catch up. This car needs to be able to throw comp on my C6. I already have dyno tests that claim 250hp with 358 torque before it broke and I only fix it with better parts each time. It even has a race oil pan but I forgot who made it.
My basic setup is:
-75mm BBK Throttlebody
-Patriot Stage 2 Ported heads with stage 1 cams
-I rebuilt the engine to the point of pressing the piston rings in myself (shops kept failing me)
This means forged internals stock compression, Cobra Crank, aftermarket flexplate on the tranny 2400 stall convertor per Brother's Performance harassing me about the 3200 that I blew up my tranny with still sitting in a box in my garage.. It might still be good since I only blew a tranny seal blowing the "master cylinder"? I think it was called)
-Engine is sound and from what I understood from when I rebuilt it should be good for 600hp reliably-ish
-Performance Automatic 4r70w
-JBA ceramic coated, etc. shorty headers
-Superchips custom tune from JBA
-Flowmaster catback
-C&L Mass Air Flow meter housing
-Ported the intake with it raised with an intake spacer (now they make intakes... lol)
-Steeda Underdrive pullies
Here is about what we are looking at:

Assuming a budget of $10-15k... where would you go with the project? I've always been into Kenne Bell superchargers but I havent even looked at this car in years (The Vette pulls 1.06g's and runs a high 12 1/4 but I'm going to just trash it after how many problems I've had and I can buy 3 mustang engines for the price of one for the Vette)
