You need an ams1000 or similar. What are you using now for controller??

Great job by the way!!

I use the AMS 1000 on just about everything. We wanted to break 200 without anything fancy. It has an old Blitz controller they don't make anymore. Now that we achieved all our goals, we are putting in an AMS 1000. Car will be at NMRA MIR with Lund driving

Nice.. Honestly though if you have a good track you should be able to throw quite a bit of boost at it off the line. I think the biggest improvement that can be had at the drag strip will be to get that thing to build some boost before you leave the line. Of course then you might have to dial it back a little on the hit lol..

Here are some awesome photos that Danielle Perez took of the Twin Turbo 5.0 while at the Texas Mile. This hanger was just off to the side of the return road.

I, too, was curious why you never bothered with the aerodynamics. It is a testament to the standard configuration of the Mustang, though. It would be nice to see genuine Ford aerodynamic parts (i.e. GT500/Boss/LS) go on to show the world that Ford has done something very right with their design.

Because I wanted to say...

We broke 200 MPH with a Mustang!

not

We broke 200 MPH with a Mustang!*
*with lots of aero modifications


lol

Now that we have done that, we are going back in October and adding lots of aero modifications, more power, better boost control etc and going for 220 MPH

I'm going to shoot for 220 at the October mile. But up at 250 you would have to do quite a bit of aero just to be safe. A KB Mustang went airborne at Bonneville at 267 MPH and he is a land speed veteran.
