After seeing everyones’ videos of thier Mustangs, I decided to make one of mine. It’s a black and gold 77 Cobra II. Specs are as follows:

Melling cam 290/300 duration (214/224 @.050) .507/.533 lift
1.7 roller rockers
Trick Flow heads
Metallic ceramic coated headers
2 1/2″ exhaust through turbo mufflers

High volume oil pump
Electric puller fan

Hood scoop is from an 83 Mustang GT, modified by myself
Gas tank is from an 89 Mustang modified by myself
Desktop Dyno estimated 370 HP @6000 355 ftlb @4500
Not been actually dynoed to find out, nor have I been to the track to know a quarter time yet
UPDATE….sort of….
ran the car this last weekend (10/19/08) in the 1/8th. only run 2 passes with a best time of 9.824. The biggest problem I had was traction. I spun through 1st and 2nd gear, and got to 3rd at the end of the track and spun a little again. One of this winters projects will be to install a locker of some sort. Next will be bigger tires.
