The TA hit a performance wall. That majic number was 133 MPH. fastest pump gas TTA in the country..Mid 10's.. thats when the heads on that particular engine say "thats it" and you start popping HG's. To have remied it would have required changing over to Buick aluminum heads, Buick headers, and build a custom down pipe and IC. Car had 20K miles. I couldnt justify spending 10K to do that.. then to make matters worse.. so in the end I have a 9 sec TTA.. big deal.. no classes for it to compete, just a very specialized vehicle with a lot of money tied into it= money pit big time.

My business is 90+ % GM, Ford is a few points.. I thought to my self.. Ford guys dont get this injection stuff.. they walk right by the Buicks and TTA.. like it doesnt exist.. let me build a Mustang and put up some numbers.. The TTA I had went back to 100% bone stock numbers matching.. I parked it under a cover and started losing interest in driving a slow car that was more grief as I was afraid of a door ding or even putting miles on it. One day I found a rats nest in the back of the engine compartment.. that was it.. time for sale. And I sold it.

The mods I took of that car paid for the Mustang.. and here I am a few years latter trying to be diligent about what mods I do to the car..

Whats funny is a low 9 second Mustang is nothing really special now days.. But it could be worse.. it could be a low 13 second Mustang.. I think a high 8 is well within reach right now.. mid 8.. possible.. but I dont know if I really want to go there(parachute, license, hans, pants, gloves, shoes, etc). Just making these passes I can defenitely see coolant temps rise way faster with the added power.. and the trans is also not as happy.. so its like you change one thing and something else pops up.. always..

Sorry for the rant.. i'll keep pushing and working on the known little crap like boost controller and tightening of the tq converter.
