well, figured i should give everyone an update. the car has had 5 turbos on it in the last month trying to find a small stock like turbo that would out perform my previous setup. there were two 50 trim style turbos tried and both flopped. DB then put new cams in the car, and brought the power up 57whp. i then decided to try a 20gLT. it just barely outperformed my original 20g due to the new cams. so i decided to take a step up. i didn't want a laggy 35r, i know it would own almost all, but i want something with alittle kick down low. i went with the 3065r. at the same boost levels as previous, the car put down 430whp and 380ft-lbs on a mustang dyno. i have compared numerous numbers from the dyno to standard dynojets, and there is roughly a 16-20% difference. so the car is making roughly 503whp and 444ft-lbs on a standard dynojet that everyone else uses. ;D not too shabby for a hunk o junk AWD 4 banger! lol

i picked up the car saturday, and got rearended by my mother on the way home. you believe that chit? anways, as soon as our insurance company comes and looks at it i will be ordering a new evo IX rear end. only thing is i am worried it did alittle more damage then just the bumper, but wont know till i take it off. anways, finally got on it on rt. 35 just past winfield. HOLY SHIT!!!! that thing is fast on freaking pump gas!!! and loud as hell! i didn't realize it was an open dump till i was passing a car and got on it. when it hit boost, i was thrown back and the f*%ker got loud and scared the piss out of me, and it had to scare the person i was passing.
i hope to be able to make it to 1 or 2 shows this year to show you guys, but we will have to wait and see. oh yea, chris, i know my car is louder than yours now!! lol

well while i was in i played around with the car alittle bit at 24psi and 100octane fuel. i cant imagine what the alky and 29-30psi will feel like. first gear doesn't exist anymore in the car. the current tires cant hold second gear on the road either. also had some problems in 3rd gear above 5500rpms, she just wants to break loose! the car is a freaking beast now. i hope to get some larger rims and stickier tires this spring/summer to see what she can really do. hope to bring it out to a few shows also.

I still think Daves story about the coper hitting him was more funny, but at least nonone was injured in either incedent. Sux that it hapened to you but hopefully youll get that new bumper liek u said. Also sounds like that lil red car has turned into a blur if its as fast as is sounds like. I cant wait to take a ride in her this spring. Take care bro!

With the Alternator, go to Advance or Auto Zone, they test them for free along with the battery, cables, etc. As far as the other thing... have no idea sorry

I don't think it's your alternator...but it may be if you don't toss that front battery...Because phil said that when he drives it there is not any problems...I think your main thing is that front battery has been killed too many times because of sitting or where the car has been worked on and people has left the door open...Any car will pull a little bit of current just sitting there..the biggest thing is that when you don't drive it then it never gets charged...If anyone lets their car sit more than a week or so then you will see a voltage drop on the battery...I remember when you was in all the time I would even see your headlights dim when you stopped at red lights...etc I think when you add the other batteries to your car the problem will go away but I also think that front battery should be tossed....
