Here is the result of many hours of work!

Well, here it is. I finally got my Stage III kit and exhaust installed this past week. Mind you that I did all the work on this project with the assistance of my girlfriend. She has been there all the way and a few weeks ago got a first hand crash course of what was involved in prep and painting. "She said that was easier than installing the supercharger!" HaHa! Well, here is is. I also have a few photos at this site. I just have not updated it in a while.

It always seems to mean so much more when you get to create something yourself!

Great looking ride!

Next comes the Roush brake system and I want to finish the suspension as well. After that I might go and start building a forged short block to handle any additional horsepower I want to add. Who knows, I want to do the Roush leather package for the interior, but I have yet to see any photos of the tan leather in a car. I am kind of shy of installing something I have never seen. Thanks for the replies.

Nice ride man. You've done a good job. How about posting some more pics, particularly of the engine bay.

Yeah I've got the tan leather, like it alot, I think it'd look good in a white car too, even the charcoal grey would look good in there I think.

I saw the photos of Mark's car. Is the leather package that Roush sells on their site the same? They have a pic of the grey and I did not see the red stripes on them. Not that it really matters because everything in my car is tan and I think it should look pretty good. BTW Mark, your engine compartment looks very much like mine. Really sweet install. I love the polished Vortech! It adds alot of flash when you open the hood.

I think they have since changed the seat, so they'll be different from mine. Indeed polished is the way to go You strap that thing to the dyno yet and see what it lays down?

Sweet car, man . The seats Mark (Markass) has are the older Roush seats with the red stripes. These are no longer available, instead you get the two toned seats with the cool sigature in them. I know for a while Roush would let you get different logos besides the Jack Roush signature but who knows what the condition is on that now. At any rate, while the old seats are awesome, the new seats just plain kick ass

Mark

I had it in the shop back in January and we pulled 413 RWHP. That was with the outside temperature around 50 degrees. A few weeks ago I noticed that I was getting a little detonation with the temperature anywhere above 75 degrees so I had another chip burned that I am going to use for summer. With that chip we saw 391 RWHP. I know, I know! I just lost 22 RWHP but I would rather be safe than sorry! On the good side I have two chips now so when the weather cools I will just swap them!
