4 year+ resto mod on my 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby....1st post too!

[Phallen]

A+++++++++ for originality, and very nice rebuild! Those cars are very well NOT known, but they were great sleepers and are rare.

A buddy of mine did a similar complete ground up restoration on his VW Corrado G60 with 300,000 miles on it. He will never, ever, ever part with that car!

Again thanks guys! The rare part is one of the best things, a lot of people gaff me off till they hear the blow off valve and the look on their face is one of the things I love. That WTF look, followed by "did you put a turbo on that" Win or loose there is not a day I drive the car that I do not get a smile on my face. Thanks again for the kind words.

I am currently running 27-28 lbs of boost and it pulls pretty strong, lean it up about a point or so and I should get a little more out of it. Waiting on another chip to try it out, I can not pull anymore fuel pressure from it without getting very hard "hot" starts and part throttle cruising miss. You all know what it is like, there is always something to work on :-D

 

[mwilliams84]

That looks like some really nice work and thumbs up for being original!

 

[03 DSG Snake]

Wow, awesome job. You do some amazing work. Good luck getting the tune all dialed in. :burnout:

 

[Kevins89notch]

Damn, you sure put a HELL of a lot of time into that!

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

Thanks guys! Honestly I was not sure how it would be viewed on a Mustang forum. As far as the power I am not sure what it is putting down, I hate when guys throw out stupid crazy numbers and nothing to back it up. I am trying to get a chip in that gets me where I want to be A/F wise, then take it to the dyno (prob Tony at HP) and fine tune it timing/fuel wise. At this point it would be a waste of money and time because I am not close enough on the tune yet. All in all I will post up the numbers when I get it all dialed in. So far the judges have been kind to me, only been to one big show though, getting ready to go up to Mopar Nationals in Columbus Ohio for a big show in Aug.

Hard not to appreciate your build, mustang or not. Excellent work!!!

 

[spitin venom]

Nice build! I love threads like this that have the transformation documented with pics! Great job and beautiful car!
