It's been a while!
Here's what's happened since I posted last.
Engine bay done! I've done some wire cleanup and added heater hoses, but this is how it sits.
Here's the dyno graph for the car.
406whp @ 6100 RPM
382 lbft @ 4700 RPM
Note about this dyno... This is embarrassing but I used the wrong cam sprocket on my car. Since my car has VVT, the cam sprocket is also the phaser. GM in all its wisdom decided to make two types of cam phasers. I installed the wrong one for my car and as a result my cam is
13 degrees more retarded than it should be (it's not the only retarded thing

).
I'll be installing a proper cam gear soon and retuning the car, we'll see what it picks up. The car is due for another dyno session soon anyways, you'll see why at the end of this post
Since I've posted last the Mustang has seen a lot of driving and a lot of weather..
It's also seen an autocross where it made mincemeat of an S2000 owner who told me a Mazda 3 would be able to beat my car around corners.
Speaking of mincemeat...
Luckily this was replaced under warranty. It seems that the welds were a bit... bad.
The car also got some BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2 rubber. Look at that front fender fitment.
The car was also backed into in a parking lot. It'll be getting a new hood, bumper and front clip soon. I'm thinking a carbon hood and bumper and a fiberglass nose.
I visited Maier Racing's shop. Since my car is featured front and center on their homepage
http://www.maierracing.com they agreed to give me a nice discount on some parts I'll be ordering soon.
Oh, also I make bad decisions when things are on sale...
Some performance notes about the car:
The top speed is somewhere been 170 and 180. At about 165 I start hearing the siren call of death but the car is still pulling and entering the powerband in 5th. Top speed definitely limited by my self preservation instinct, not the car.
The car cruises around at 1900RPMs at 75mph. Great for long trips even if the wind noise is a bit annoying.
Since I put fiberglass leaf springs (more about these later) on the rear of the car, I was able to eliminate most wheel hop issues. The car will lay black lines on the pavement in first and sometimes in second while the tires scream for mercy. It's a ton of fun feeling the car get floaty while the engine screams. Seriously this motor is brutal when it revs up.
Drifting the car around corners is extremely rewarding, it's a perfect example of "steering with the throttle"
The weight loss and repositioning in the front of the car means that my 1-1/8" Anti Roll bar is simply too stiff. The car has the "on rails" feel that is characteristic of an overstiff front suspension. I'll be going back to a stock ARB soon so that the suspension can travel.
I'll try to upload videos soon, but Youtube does not seem to want to include audio in my videos. The crackle on the overrun this car has is awesome.
