<---I filmed the first run

My bro did the rest. It was a lot of fun watching some of you run your cars, I'll try and get my car out there to run with the slow people next time

Redefining the word "owned". What did you end up running anywho? And what exhaust are you running...almost sounds like an x-pipe w/borlas.

I didn't mean it like that. I really liked your car--I was the guy in the jeans and grey shirt holding the drink and walking around your car for about 5 minutes haha. I can't believe how clean it is. Anyway I'm running DynoMax UltraFlow 2.5" SS exhaust. Oh and I ended up running my best ever on drag radials -- 12.562 @ 113.36 with a 2.0 60'. The run against you was a 12.604 @ 112.27 with a 2.0 60'. I think I got a little excited and shifted out of 3rd early.

What are your future plans for the SVO?

Oh okay, I remember you walking around. You also have one of the cleanest Foxbodies I have seen.

Immediate future plans is ditching this odd turbo for something more optimal, probably the infamous T3 Super-60 (based on recommendations from quite a few people). At that time I will get a different exhaust manifold and 3-inch single exhaust from the turbo back. A larger Turbo Coupe intercooler and a BOV should be installed shortly as well. After that, suspension.

Thanks. I try to keep it as clean as possible with what little time I have to devote to it.

Sweet! Can't wait to see what that thing will do. Don't forget fuel system upgrades. I'm working on a 2.3T project myself.. should have the motor by next week I hope. Here is the progress made last night: http://www.slo5oh.com/4banger/

TAWS6,
Do you have slicks or radials? If you have radials you shouldn't go through the water.... or back into in what you did. The water gets off when you do the burn out but the water that is trapped in the grooves doesn't get it

Hehe...forgot to mention those. I just purchased a brand new set of the stock 35lb/hr injectors. The 255 walboro goes in today (thanks Craig!) and I should be getting a nice Kirban adjustable FPR this week. She should be good for now. Plans are to get about 300 to the wheels, so I'll probably end up upgrading to 42lb injectors.

Can't wait to see more on your 2.3l buildup. I think we may have a turbo 2.3l gathering soon...make sure you check in with the Ford forum.
