I think I'm the only one who has heard this running other than zbomb's neighbors.
It sounds truly menacing.

zbomb

You are and wouldn't be running if it wasn't for your help - apropos.

I’ll take 420 and the ride along for sure!

zbomb

Ride along pfffft... When you come this way I want you to drive it !

You took the same number as my buddy Chad - The remaining mustang owner yet to spin his car into a crowd leaving a car show, a very good dude.

OK, put me down for 411 or 412 or in that area , great would love to drive the beast! Hopefully will have the 3.7 ready for a switcheroo

zbomb

He's not on the forum - and you both can drive it anyway so I'm keeping you at the higher number in hopes your first guess, best guess.

And you won't have to twist my arm to drive your 3.7

Excellent work Guy's, been gone a month in Europe and first thing back in the states was check Jason project out. I'll say about 410 rwhp.

Thanks @JohnCA58 - you have supported the progression for a long time, I really appreciate it and the kind words - hope the vaca was one for the ages !

Today my good friend Chad and his Dad tool care of the remaining fab work, the exhaust and a plate to protect the flywheel. One side affect of the dry sump pan is it does not fully bolt to the trans adapter as 2 of the trans adapter mounts are meant to attach to the stock oil pan, since I don't have those mounting provisions, a plate needed to be made to protect the flywheel from debris.

They also knocked the exhaust out of the park, it is a simple dual 2.5 to an X Pipe muffler. The design was stolen from a friend with another dry sump'd LS, easier than reinventing the wheel and it sounds effing killer. This will not be the end of the exhaust work, in the long run I plan to have a custom set of long tubes made - but to get the car moving and see how things work, this is good (sounds great) for now.

And this is the plate Chad's Dad made to protect the flywheel, might as well been made by a professional.

Wow that sounds NOICE!

Decided it was time to replace the Recaro seat I love for something with head restraints. As the car sees basically no road use, it is appropriate to add the safety the head restraints bring to the table. I had an OMP on hand I had been saving til this inevitable moment arrived. Managed to make it work with the BK brackets that came off the Recaro.

Also, remade the bracket to hold the keypad and integrated the kill switch and fire system trigger, this second version came out much nicer and is much sturdier as I made it from a thicker material.

A not so great realization was made once the seat was in, the dash display is unacceptably obscured by the steering wheel. Options here are pretty slim. 1. Move the display to the center, this is likely the way I will go to start as it requires no investment and if it works OK, is easy. 2. Go to an open top steering wheel like you would generally see in a formula car, although I don't hate this idea, it requires buying the wheel and the major problem.... Although when I'm driving my hands do not move on the wheel, when the car gets sideways (tank slapper) unexpectedly my hands will go wherever they think they need to go to correct and having a big chunk of steering wheel real estate missing could really be a problem there. If I was a good driver, this would be less of a problem, but I'm not, so it is...

I really likes the seat...... u should go straight up Kight Rider steering wheel.
