well the time has come for the evolution of my coupe getting closer to what i had in mind. a little background, this car was built correspondence while i was working in iraq so fittingly we have begun new construction while i am currently in afghanistan. the car has a boss block 347 in it on a 150 shot, the initial numbers were 520/542. a couple of months ago we did another motor pull and saw the car was now making 42x on motor as compared to the original 404.

well i finally pulled the trigger and the car is now being torn down and brought back as another hellion car, after doing the compound boost on the shelby i was sold on turbo! there is a laundry list that accompanies this build which i will list below. my goal is to have 700-800 rwhp out of her:beer: just thought i would share, this build thread will be slow because i have other people supplying the pictures but this should be done by the time i get home, middle of march, i am taking the shelby to the texas mile again.

enjoy and leave feedback.

upr k member and coilover
rear suspension (have not decided but it will be changed before the end of the build)
afr 205 heads 72cc chamber
custom turbo cam
80 lb injectors
cometic head gaskets
hellion t76 kit (thanks to the hellion crew for making this happen on short notice:beer:)
aeromotive stealth in tank with supporting hardware

there is more i am sure but i am drawing a blank right now, planning on jamming the nitto nt05r 315/45/18 up under the ass end of this one!

in current form she was violent to drive on the street and although i loved the monster cam, it will be nice to have a nice quite and calm sounding car that disappears on the roll of the throttle:beer:

willie has been for a ride in both.... woohoo!
