v8 may have been an exaggeration, but lots of low end grunt, Enough to not need the gas to get car rolling from a dead start and impossible to stall.
Realistically though it probably makes as much or more Tq than a 4.6 and the car weighs what 5-600lbs lighter than the mustang? sooo

6s aint hard to surpass but hey more power half the cylinders thats the dream!
In case you guys haven't known.... I got about 70miles in on the break in and i put the car away and next morning on start up i devolved an oil pressure issue.
After a a few days of dicking around, I discovered my engine builder RTV my front cover/Oil Pump on, and 90% sure this is my issue i don't know why he thought this was a good idea especially when i gave him that gasket
So now I have to have a "***** Moment" at this guys shop .
Hopefully this motor is no fucked, but I don't have high hopes. as of right now

Wtf way kinda Fucktard dose that didnt he have a book to follow?
Find out Wat he used to seal the block and bed plate. If he used rtv Ur Gona have to pull it out and tale the engine back apart. Cuz u will develop a main bearing issue soon. Along with main seal issues.
18 degrees over iat1 WITHOUT the tank, I'm currently redoing the tank in aluminum, that's more molded to the bumpers shape.
That was after four back to back pulls temps dont crepe up either

I've been busy.
1. Replaced Vacuum lines, made a good difference in idle as i believe they were coplasing a bit under vacuum.
2. Corrected Some issues and Test some Significantly higher boost, My peak seems to be 15psi @6k rpms, I'll go higher(7300rpm) When I get this thing on a dyno to get properly tuned (its getting to dangerous to street tune...) & Over to synthetic. But other wise defiantly throws you back in the seat even with me ***** footing it, feels right about my power goals

3. Oil gets changed Tomorrow, I'll be at the 800mile mark
!, last dyno oil change then I go to 5w40 synthetic.
4. Tinted the windows today!, unfortunately some scratches showed on the glass...(These cars must have soft glass) if anyone has got a wrecked car with good glass i'm down! hit me up
Video
Also I got a throttle position sensor, p0300 misfire code, & LIMP mode.
Now, I drove the car and a NASTY rain storm, parked the car outside in the shed for 2-3 days with freezing temperatures.
Went to start it immediately rough rough idle and pretty much popped those codes up, Now im going to assume it was ice in the intake and chuck it up as that, drove the car 15mins, parked restarted and limp mode was gone and then i cleared the codes.
This has been the only negative thing so far.
