[QUOTE="ModularSpeed, post: 10861744, member: 56332"] Well, after being a die hard N/A kinda guy all these years, I have decided to take a step into the turbocharged world. My current car is a 1998 Cobra, with a 2003 Mach 1 Longblock. I put 96-98 Cobra Intake cams in it, and with bolt-ons it was making 346rwhp, and good enough for 11.6's@118 on Drag Radials with a 1.6 sixty foot. This car is basically a full bolt-on car, with some suspension and the other "goodies" that push it more towards the "drag car" type. I will try and keep this thread updated as much as possible with pictures, my opinion on the kit, dyno results, track results....etc. My goal is basically to run 8 PSI, run 10's with ease, and not destroy the T45 I am currently running. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I have had a few questions here and there about some stuff....and Chad and Mike have been very helpful along the way.
