Its been what? almost a year since ive updated... :confused: :sorry


Well i drove her with for about 7 months with the turbo on (running 12psi) And she finally decided to give around January. But i did run her at the track and got a best of 14.1@99mph with coupler blowing off and MBC missing up.

Here is a video of me at the track...





Was running 12psi and the stock replacement piston decided to give (sealed power pistons)

Looks like piston #6 was the only one messed up. These pistons are know to crack like that

You could see it has cracks on the left and right side of the piston. If I would have driven it for a little bit longer, the whole damn piston would have broke

This was from another V6 mustang with the same pistons as me and that also had a power adder

But here is whats being installed


Comp Turbo Cam/Springs

4.3L stroker, 4.2L crank,351W SCAT H-Beam Rods, custom forged pistons

3200 Stall Converter

Granatelli K-Member

Lower tubular A-arms

super sport coil over (Red) springs

14.5 # wastegate spring

I re-painted my block ford blue and installed the cam

Also, I sort of polished my turbo housing and heads....I still need to use that aluminum polish stuff to finish it off. I used 180 grid first and finished with 1500 grid sandpaper.

Blew a header gasket on the way to the track. I was suppose to be at 15psi but the leak let me get only 12psi. Also I did a crappy burnout.

60' - 2.075
1/8 ET - 8.653
1/8th mph - 82.86
1000' ET - 11.223
1/4 ET - 13.399
1/4 MPH - 103.44



both videos are the same run.

You come around once a year around the same time for the past 3 years. This is crazy. Timeline is cool good job using the same thread. nice to see that you didn't let the piston failure hold you down! Just rebuild and keep steppin!

Mid 13's is awesome! Nice job. Props for keeping with a six and getting it done! Most talk of it and it never happens. You sir keep the party going!

Lol, I noticed that too about posting once a year but I will try to keep it updated

Thanks for the comment :)

Next time I update I should be in the 12's or even in the 11's....it will take time for me.
