Nice job. Can you post some more pics (close-ups)? I'm interested in how close the contour fits with the existing body lines, especially where you had to cut it at the wheel opening.
Thanks,
Rick

I got mine off ebay. Its for an 01 mustang mach 1
Thanks for the compliments guys. You'd never guess its around a 330whp 4 cylinder, rofl
splitting hairs but the mach 1s were 03-04.
 
you could be close to the 300 hp mark but id bet anything your car wouldnt put down more than 270 to the ground (WHP) given your new times posted in the race section nevermind the ones in your sig. effing nice tcoupe though.

Am I the only one that doesn't like a chin spoiler on our cars?  The lines follow so nicely all around the car (rear bumer cover, to rocker panels to fenders) and then suddenly the front lines don't match up...  like a car with only the front bumper cover portion of a ground fx kit on.  Speaking strictly appearance, I'm not a fan.....  ??

Well, what weight are you using to come up with your hp #'s?  My car weighed right at 3500# without me in it, so add another 190#.  I used the internet calculators because I do trust them.  I used them with the times and speed with my truck, and then went to a dyno day, and it was within 10 or 20hp.  It would be making more power if I would ever get around to putting subframe connectors on it cause I dont want to twist it:mad:

well, i weighed my car at the track...3500ish with me in it. im 185-190ish. 1/4 tank of gas, no spare. stock engine is 320 crank hp, maybe 10-20 more with mods if im lucky. 13.4 with a trap speed of 106.94, call it 107. my car might put down 290 hp to the ground if im lucky. real world times, not internet guesstamates. this may, or may not apply to your car and times, just my personal experiance and criteria for estimating yours.

I hear ya.  I've had NO time to work on my Chin spoiler..... I need about 6 hours total I'm guessing and I would like to do it all at once what with the cutting and notching for the standard front-end.....

The wife has other plans.....
Her -----> :nutkick: <----- my projects

I'll be doing something with a different set of valve covers shortly as well.

Might I add those Snowflakes make the car the way they are done! ;)

Its at 22 psi on my holset, and it pulls way harder than it did at 20.  I cant wait to find out how hard it pulls at 28/30 psi.  Base fuel pressure is 38/39psi, but am not exactly sure what bfsc is referring to

V8demon, I put this on in about 45 minutes total.  I did most of it during lunch at work, and then finished it later that evening
