Awesome!! I'm actually applying with Apex as a Mustang Product Specialist! I'm tired of working at a boring job...thinking I need to get into Motorsports and they're local to me.

Yes, Mike V, good guy, he's working on a build by this time next year he's planning on being at 1100-1300 rwhp.

I sat in his car to see what the view forward is like with the 4" hood up there ... it didn't make me want that 4" obstruction, lol.

3", maybe

Hah mine is bad enough. I work in Oakland there's lots of hills. I constantly have to prop myself up with the steering wheel as I'm cresting hills to make sure I'm not about to run over any crackheads stumbling around in the street

It is always easier going to work when you like what you are doing. I wish you luck on getting in with Apex.

0-60 in 5.4 seconds, new personal record, .1 faster than last year's best. I credit the lightweight brake rotors for the improvement.

Dyno at Dallas Mustang today.

Mustang GT MT6 NA with Ford Performance Pack 2, dry filter, and Ford Performance Touring cat-back, 74F and 68% Humidity. 411rwhp/388tq

Pretty happy with the results with the mild performance modifications I've made.

411 rwhp certainly doesn't suck

1) Figured out how to get the car up in the air without a real lift.

2) Realized there is is very likely a very expensive Boss R steering rack in my future. $1G I did NOT want to spend.

3) Lost a top strut nut somewhere in the shop.
