Just another boosted mustang

Hey I'm Brandon...I've been hanging out over on S197 for awhile now and venturing out to explore other sites...Born and raised in Alabama (Roll Tide) and have always been into modifying vehicles. Started when I was 14 and I modified my motorcycle. It started out slow (civic's and 4 bangers) and then upgraded to 6cyl. (300zx converted to twin turbo), then switched to trucks when I got into the off road scene, and now I'm back to cars again. This is my first Mustang although I always wanted one but couldn't due to insurance and money. I guess I can say I went all out on it and I still have more plans.


Here is a picture of my poster which has most of my mods listed (I need to update it)


Here are random pictures of my Mustang

Wow! Welcome! Maybe the best looking s197 I've seen on the board! Im not a fan of the valve covers though.

Very clean I love it! What's your best ET?

The motor (valve covers and timing cover) tie into a paint scheme I have..The checkered flag continues on the radiator cover/etc...It flows nicely now that its installed. Just dont have any updated pics

As far as the best E/T - I havent ran it with the new motor..Old motor ran 11.5 @118 w/ 10psi. It was a stock bottom end. Dyno'd @ 483whp/456rtq.

new motor is a Boss 5.3 Big Bore stroker - all ARP, diamond pistons, manley rods, kellogg crank, etc. I'm thinking about upgrading to the mammoth to up the boost if I can find someone to buy my current setup.

Gotta say that's one of the best Mustang action shots I've seen.

So how do you like those BMR A-arms? I put a set on my car a month and a half ago, just curious to see what other people's impressions of them are

appreciate it...Took alot of work/time/sweat to get it to this level. I did alot of it while in college which was the worst part...Wasn't intending to blow the motor before I graduated but I guess you can't really tell when a rod or two is about to break loose! But I broke down and did what I had to to. Since I was already knee deep in paying for everything, I decided to put a little more into it and make it custom. Maybe I shouldn't have because now I have even wilder desires..It's about to go in the paint booth
