On page 162 of the may issue of 5.0&SF there is an amazing mustang in an article called "Horse Trader"...
Now im just wondering something about this car... for those of you that dont have this issue, its worth it to read about this car. Wow..
Anyway... long story short, the guy didnt want to rely on a power adder, so he just went with pure small block Ford power, and dropped in a 351 stroked windsor, to an amazing 408ci...
Now apparently, it puts about 700-750hp TO THE WHEELS!
Now how is something like this streetable?? This is my question... I mean, this is an amazing machine, but is something like this really capable of daily driving??

Just wondering everyones thoughts...

I had a 460hp N/A small block and I HATED driving that thing. A 4000 stall sucks butt on the street.

How is it streetable. Well he obviously done his homework in the engine developement stage. I see he bumped up the compression ratio up to 11:1's and a custom grind cam.
Then it was off to get a programable computer to make power and idle like a rock and still get to use A/C!
It takes the right kind of people with the know how to get this done. Not all of us are fortunate to have this kind of professional help in our local towns.
That car is a real piece of work, something that I was contemplating shooting for. A streetable car that can pull off 10's at the strip ...............Heaven!!!!

Having a car like that is definately my dream...
Its one way or the other for me. Either well tuned all cube power... or a 331 turbo. Either way, 600rwhp is my eventual goal... I want to be able to beat vipers, ls1's, ws6's... anything that hits the road. I want to own them. haha...
