Does the show have an e-mail address, or forum? Maybe try there? I would think they would, seeing as the shows on Discovery channel have them.

You might try going to http://www.powerblocktv.com/

I think they have links to most of not all of the vendors and aftermarket sources mentioned on the shows. Keep in mind however, Nightmare was originally on about a year or more ago so they may not have links any longer. If I remember correctly they used something simillar recently on Horsepower TV putting a blower on something else, might have been an SS Camaro, but I'm not sure. Might look there too.

I did a little googling and on the Vortech SC installation manual for 5.0 Mustangs, they say to use a "center punch" and "5/8'' tapered punch."

That manual is located here and the tool listing is on page 5.

Hope that helps.

Lack of tools for the part of the install held me up for like 2 months, though i was doing other things as well. You could always take it to a shop and have them do it, shouldn't be too expensive.

well I was going to take it to a performance shop and let them put on just the oil return line and do a oil change but they want 75$ for the oil line I said yes and for an oil change it was like 50$

Meh, I spend close to $50 for an oil change and I do it myself. Mobil 1 is expensive plus my car uses almost 7 quarts.

Now that project is 3-4 years old but Joe still owns the car. Go to their forum and make it to Attn Joe and ask him. He should be able to give you the needed info.
Also the Camaro SS they did with the LS2 and the ATI was a sealed contained setup so no pan drilling.

What I am curious about on that project was the sub frame connectors. I had never seen the Eibach FLSFCs they used befor and they look like killer pieces! Looked to have torque box reinforcements built right in. They were very nice looking parts.

I thought the original project nightmare was stolen? The car was found stripped. They did find it a couple years later at a car show. I do know they did a second mustang by the same name.

The first one was called something else and was a 94 red GT vert. Nightmare is a 4.6 GT vert.
What I dont get is I just watched part two and then part three.
In part two they added a Flowmaster cat back and a K&N CAI and the car made 204 rwhp.
In part three the car all the sudden had a shaker hood and intake and dynod at 188 rwhp
Then they added long tubes with a set of high flow cats and a hand held tuner and the car made 204 rwhp again. Wonder what was up with that. Was the same car cause they showed the suspension and wheel mods again and the same ghey Euro tail lights he chose.
