the engine bay looks so creepy. i love it. congrats man

 

cool thanks damn dude i need a intercooler i get my auto tech teacher to help me with all the welding so

 

Nice torque jeesh.. stock internals too?

 

Stockish internals. The longblock is an "econolong block" from central coast mustang. It has stock crank, stock cam, stock type rods with arp bolts, Probe forged pistons (most years stock 5.0s have forged pistons), GT40P heads (explorer heads).

What in particular is creepy about the engine bay? Tubes and wires running all over the place? It is kind of ------ around. It all looked much nicer before I put all the accessories and vacuum tubing on.

do you get a CEL?

with my stock MAF above 5 psi i get a CEL

 

those heads help ya a lot with the power output. i heard they have problems with blowing gaskets at high boost though

 

dude the stock ones blow to

 

how was the drive there and how long was it

 

No check engine lights at all. Except when I forgot to hook up the MAF (or other tiny details).
I was hoping that the GT40P heads would work well. They are supposed to flow as well as standard GT40 heads but do so with SMALLER valves. This implies that the exhaust velocity should be nice and high which should work well with turbos. I hope I don't blow headgaskets. I am running the graphite ford ones. If they blow, I will switch to those cometic MLS ones.
The drive up to Kauffmans for the dyno run took like an hour or so. This car drives like a stocker until you get on it. Zero drivability problems.
One funny thing tho: It is such a sleeper and so quiet that it confused some people there. We came out of the dyno room and someone asked the tuner why they hadn't run the car. He said "we just did two runs". The car is quieter than stock. The other thing was they put this huge fan on the car then all put on ear protection. I told them that their fan was louder than the car. And it was.
