Good to see it in progress. Soon spring will really be here and you blow the blossoms off the trees with that whipple

Nice progress, and you are a braver man than I... I'll work on steering, brakes, A/C and that sort of stuff- but when it comes to the engine, other than changing the oil (and carb on my older cars), it goes to a shop.


Great pictures, and what is your expected power at the end of this project?

Lol, thanks guys, I'm not doing the work myself, a long-time tech and Mustang owner/modder is doing it.

Hoping for 600 RWHP, 500+ rwtq. We'll find out Monday or Tuesday when it gets on the dyno.

Today, she fired up, supercharged for the first time

That is just beautiful! Looking forward to some sound bytes (maybe on the dyno?)
Would be cool to listen to the whipple-boost!

Today I picked her up, new Whipple installed, new boost/oil-pressure gauges installed, running on a putt-putt tune until I can get it to the tuner tomorrow or Tuesday.

Got it home and the first thing I did was pop open the girlfriend's Shelby's hood for a side-by-side supercharged-Mustang pic :

I saw it on another thread here, but I can't remember where (old people get that way), but yes, it is functional from the pictures I saw.
If I had a blower, I'd have to have that hood.
