havent been doing much with it.. welded the end on rotated wrong somehow so I did finally cut it back off and weld it back on..
just got a bench from work today so I plan on making it a jig/weld bench for building the 8.8 and arms etc..
recently did a 14hr one way drive (Plus 8hrs hrs in car and in driveway with Kevin) with my daughter and a mate to do some tuning in person with Kevin Baltz and then bought another fb for my daughter (she paid half) and then drove home.. that was a long 2.5days in a row..
Well saturday started on a crap note.. heading to my sons soccer game with plans to hit the dyno after for 3 pulls for $30... 5miles from home pulling a 3rd gear log and lost the clutch pedal for the 3rd time in 3 weeks.. had just replaced the throwout bearing and little clutch ring/cage.. raced home after soccer and fixed the clutch... little over an hr to pull the little ring etc, straighten and fix, fix a starter bolt that stripped, put it all together, screw in a bolt in place of the clutch pedal stop... I think the clutch was over pushing so stopping the pedal travel may have fixed it.. thanks again @kevin_btz for problem solving across country.. hit the dyno after a quick little sprint 40miles to event.. ended up with 412hp 385tq on a mustang dyno.. low boost as the diaphragm is leaking on wastegate and didnt log so not sure what boost.. going from previous logs it dropped to 14-16psi... aiming for 20 or maybe 25psi.. and the car made it home.. yay

well something went crazy and fried a bunch of my electrical, so on the dollies it goes, into the corner of the workshop for now.. blew my ecu, head unit, half my gauges, LED taillight bulbs but not the reverse and turn... so looking at around $3-4k in parts and repairs... total rewire over winter will be happening and hopefully be able to get the cash together to buy the parts needed
Sorry to hear... I know you put your blood, sweat and tears into this project. Its a heart breaking setback. I hope you get everything sorted. What setup will you go with this time? Keep us posted. It'll be come back even stronger and faster than ever. I love your content... keep up the good work.

thanks for the nice words..
My builder/tuner is pushing me towards the AEM Inifinity.. if I do then I may also look into the cd-5 dash.. Id like the cd7 but a lot more dollars.. one reason is then I wouldnt have to replace a lot of the gauges as the ecu would push them to the dash.. we will see as whichever way I go its a lot of money into a car that Ive already spent a lot of money
No real update other than licked up a haltech1000 locally for a great price and a new harness, sent them to Kevin to have ends etc put on.. hope to hear back soon from him thats its on its way back..
i had planned to go aem infinity route under Kevins guidance, but after much thinking decided I am not ready or really needing all the extras like traction control and timing wheels and stuff (way more work for me) I had already designed and made a 36-1 wheel and adapted it to my gilmer but messing with timing etc is not my thing..
on a side note I picked up a cnc mill to tinker with at home and have designed a d made some pillar vents.. just finished 26 sets.. now to send them for anodizing.. already got a bunch of interest..
jist cleaned out my photos on the phone a d the shipping receipt was in the deleted pics.. the trash can isnt loading right now so it should be there.. ill resend the tracking number.. if I can get it
