I guess I'll start with the suspension: '03-'04 wheel, hotchkiss TVS springs and shock, Hellwig sway bars with JLP long bars (it needs the stifflers chassis brace and panhard bar next) and of course you can see the drag radials hanging out in the back





engine is fairly stock: JDM 108mm intlet ducting with a 14 inch cone air filter, 6# crank pulley, 60# injectors, dual GT-500 fuel pumps, '97 fuel rails, Posi ported Eaton, Plenum, TB, Midplate, midplate spacer, plenum spacer (hits the hood now) EGR tube modified to reach, oil seperator, J&S vampire box, bed mounted intercooler res, and a JLP race tank up front under the hood, Jabsco i/c pump, an AFCO dual pass heat exchanger, and a stock exhaust for now...


transmission has a JLP valve body, an F-250 transcooler, a 2600 stall converter and a moroso pan


the interior is also fairly stock, wideband, trans temp guage, fuel pressure guage, J&S indicator, dual 10" subs, flip out screen JVC broken POS that's getting yanked for an alpine asap













I plan to make a few changes to it and take the stock pulley record, then remove the eaton and add a Procharger F1R or turbo it and see how close to 8's in the 1/4 mile I can get it...


I really really dislike the head lights / front corners and the grills so those are getting changed out shortly with some stock SVT Headlights and stock F-150 corners along with some freshly painted stock grills...











Long tubes and an 8# crank pulley coming soon...
