I thought about pulling the motor again and painting the engine bay the same color. However I have been done the road of everything being super nice and clean all the time but frankly I like to take my car out race it and all around beat the crap out of it then park it, then drive it and not worrying how clean it is. To each there own.

Wow! That's a nice ride, brother. Super clean engine bay. Is putting the wiring in the 1/4 panels a pain in the ass?

Also, mind sharing the details of the combo? It certainly has a nice intake.

Basically for the wiring I had to lengthen all the wires on the driver side with about a extra foot of wiring but overall its actually pretty straight forward the wiring on the passenger side was easy no lengthening there. As far as the combo goes it is a 331 with a Anderson cam, AFR 185 heads, RPMII intake, 75mm throttle, Anderson power pipe with 95mm mass air

Thanks for the compliments guys. The car makes 344 hp to rear tires and 369 torque on a mustang dyno. The car is a absolute blast to drive and pulls super hard to 6500rpm. My buddy has a new 2011 5.0 with exhaust and when we race I smoke him every time.

looks so much like my old car...

there is so much alike its pretty ridiculous, almost the same motor setup too, mine made 350/373, sooo much fun to drive. you can do everything i did without lengthening a single wire.

That's funny riceslayer because I actually saw your intake manifold and that made me buy mine.

I just don't get how they can ask 250 + bucks more for the black version.

I feel u cobra912. I bought that thing expecting perfection and that wasn't the case. If I was to do it again I would of bought the silver version sanded it down made it perfect then had it powder coated. Life lesson right there.

Man, the more I look at it, the more impressed I am. What about suspension mods? I can see the CC plates, and it's clearly lowered (C-springs?). What else?

For suspension mods I have mm torque arm, panhard bar, adjustable lower control arms, mm road and track lowering springs, QA1 k member. I have considered painting the cap black but just haven't gotten around to it.
