I ordered a Hurst shifter $190
Drive shaft loops $230
ZEX 75-175hp kit $530
Window switch $160
Blow down tube $53
Chrome moly Panhard rod to replace the one I accidentally beat on with my floor jack.

I figure the tune/time will run me about $80-100 and a bottle-full of nitrous will be $35, then another to replace the one I use up, at the dyno.

I think I figured I get about 10 1/4 mile races to a full bottle. So that's about $0.10 in fuel and $3.50 and nitrous, every ten seconds.

Looking for about 370-425hp and 480-520tq. That's more hp and torque than a 2009 6.8L Triton V10. More than the old turbo, Powerstroke diesel I drove for work, towing heavy equipment around the East coast. That was 200hp and 400lbs.ft.tq., IIRC.

Damn, I need to go change my pants now. All those sexy abbreviations.

I'll need to learn not to shit myself when the tires are spinning into fourth, at 110MPH. I want to be crossing the line, well into fourth gear, instead of the top of third.

I am purchasing the same kit this guy is using. He took my advice on his exhaust setup so I am taking his on nitrous. He's only crossing the finish line 6MPH faster than me but he gets there over a second sooner. Damn that's a lot.

At 100MPH, I am travelling fifteen Mustang-lengths, every second, so he's well over 20 car lengths ahead. He has a little better tires and slightly shorter gears than me, but I have lighter running gear and much better aerodynamics.

Here's his stats:
*************************
2006 Mustang GT. CDC classic chin spoiler,Off road x , FRPP GTA axlebacks,Tunable Induction CAI,SCTtuner. FRPP 3.73 gear,Rear window louver,Qtr window louvers.CDC shaker hood,M&H drag radials, and ZEX 125 shot nitrous for insurance!
Best ET to date- 11.89 @ 114 mph
390 rwhp
520 rwtq
