Looks alright interior wise. I think it looks pretty damn good exterior wise. Whats up with the FMIC, what kind is that or what?

Heres a quote on the design explanation.
Core Configuration: There are two configurations for air to air intercoolers. Crossflow and Vertical Flow. In the pictures below, the tubes are shown in light gray with the fin packing between each tube. The crossflow are the better design because of the effiency of the longer core. Because of the longer core the air stays in the core longer allowing it to draw more heat out of the air charge. Since the crossflow is shorter in height (ie less amount of tubes) it does not flow as much as a Vertical flow core. The vertical flow core, since it has more tubes it flows significantly more air, but because the core is shorter in length, the air doesn't stay in the core long enough to draw a lot of heat out of the air charge. Vertical flow cores work well with very high horsepower applications and is usually recommended for supercharged applications.

Thanks. I can't even begin to count how many times I've been asked if I would sell the car. I am all for the stock look in and out. My engine bay is stock looking, exterior is stock looking and even interior is stock looking. I just enhanced everything. Pictures just don't do the car justice. The only thing I would change is the red knob lol. I prefer an aluminum one but cannot stand the ones on the market. The reason being that all of them are universal and have set screws to hold them in place. The one I have is a Greddy unit and it screws in just like the original stock unit. Its about 5 years old and it was faded badly (was chromish looking when new). Since I now powdercoat stuff I decided to powder coat it Red. Maybe one day I will do it over in chrome or a two tone red/black. But for now its better than it was. I also wish to redo all the seats (although they are in great condition) but its ok for now since my windows are black.
I'm proud of my car and that is all that really matters.:D
Should get a Evo shift knob. I took the one from my 9, black leather, feels AMAZING. The only one I would upgrade to is the 9 aluminum 5 speed knob that comes as an upgrade from mitsu! They are AWESOME!!!

I hope its a direct screw on. Plug n play. I will look into it. I want to see what it looks like. Thanks.
 
Good kill.

Those Mustangs are over rated. They have a small Eaton M90 and have about 350whp. You have 450whp? No contest!

:dunno: According to the website on the car it states:

Based on the acclaimed ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang, this version is slightly less in content but includes 100 percent of the fun factor. The 427R horsepower package is highlighted by the intercooled ROUSHcharger* system which adds 135 horsepower and 65 lb-ft of torque to the base Ford 4.6L, 3-valve V8 powertrain system. The additional power upgrade comes via a ROUSH-engineered ECM calibration which has been specially-tuned to work in harmony with the different exhaust system used on the vehicle. The resulting total power rating for this vehicle is 435hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Either way the look on his face was priceless.
 
Yeah even at 435hp puts it at about 365whp. Yeah dude not knocking anything... great kill.

Do you have 450whp? So what's the drive train loss on these awd platforms?

I judge my HP from my 1/4 mile run. And the run in my sig was before I raised the boost and put in bigger cams. I'm now doing 28psi with my 3052 and run 272's.
One day I'll hit the Dyno.
