Couple things:
Go to turbomustangs.com and learn how to build one yourself.
Ill use my past combos as a guide.
First there was my nearly stock 89 GT with the common bolt ons
Then the Green Machine with 306 and s-trim-450hp
Then the 331 with s-trim-520hp..
Now im building the Twin turbo 331 aimimg for 700hp.
Everything I have built myself, have knowledge of, and know what it takes to control and be responsible with such power.
This is my pet peeve.
People, mostly young bucks like I used to be, come on these boards and see the high HP numbers some people are running, or read a magazine with a twin turbo car making XXX hp and are fathimed with the idea and want the same. I see thread after thread on turbomustangs and stangnet about making 700hp or turbocharging a 460 bigblock, buying a twin turbo whatever and basically skipping the entire learning process, any basic knowledge, and going right to the 9 sec combination. "Dad gave me some money so what should I buy?" "My grandma just passed away and I inherited 10 grand, what does it take for 900hp?" Where is the pride in building something? Where did the learning process go? Why are people so dumb? The way I see, some are blinded by the shiney parts and go fast numbers, and fail to realize modifying a car is a hobby, not a lifestyle. There should be other ambitions in life, such as going to college or getting a job, before you buy that 500$
suspension or exhuast that will sit in yout house until you can pay someone to install it...Its a hobby, build it yourself. Would you buy a complete and painted model car to sit on your shelf at home? HELL NO, you're going to spend the time and money and do it yourself, have pride in it, and know each and every piece thats under the hood and remember how much time and effort it took to get you where you are today.
