Although you can make 93 and older mustangs handle very well. Maximum motorsports and griggs have unbelievable handling road race cars. Now the 2005+ are incredible. I'll have to research on what class it was again, but there are 3 05's running in a road race class and basically dominated it, beating porsche's, zo6's, and bmw's.

I basically just do data entry. I make a cool $2500/month gross + quarterly bonuses ... it's not bad ... there are people out there making a ton more than I am.
I've also been saving for quite a while ... back in early '03, I decided that I wanted to try to swap a K20A into my car ... back then, the swap cost $8500 not including mounts, radiator or anything else like that ... so I opted to save up for a turbo ... and I did. The money I had after I sold that, I saved for my current swap.
At the time, I worked at In n Out until a year or so later when I got a job at a fine dining restaurant ... make quite a bit of money there ;P

Thread is kinda old... but i thought i'd post up since i got my car dyno'd after my head swap. It's a '01 ES1, 67k+ miles with a V2, pulleys, and Magnaflow cat back, heavy 17" chrome wheels... and well i have about 500lbs of my crap in the back from the move back up from Georgia. 
With just tuning the vafcII only... he said i'm around 110whp, he also said the a/f is pretty much tuned almost perfect, not rich or lean at all, i didn't ask much about it cause at the time i was at work. But he said it's about 132hp at the crank... i'll put the charts up when it get the car back. He did say its really nice & smooth.... whatever that means.
I'm guessing i wanna go with a header & hiflow cat, all of Gearbox's wiring kits, what else you guys suggest to add alittle more gain before i worry about redoing my interior?

Yes, it's the same thing... In Canada, it's called the SI, and the US version is called the EX... US version SI, the Candian version is the SIR...
Wow, you got a lot more WTQ than me, must be the lighter flywheel! I think a new clutch and flywheel should be the next thing I do...

The flywheel mod is the best thing I ever put on ANY of my cars! I also double check MY dyno and it's 110WTQ!
Just wanted to give you a heads up on the TQ! Also thanks for the little lesson about Candian cars! (never knew you guys got an SIR.... SICK!)
BTW, my four puck is a little too aggresive with my mods listed... but I fcken love driveing on the freeways and cherpin' 4th gear! (yep I spin the wheels in 4th, its nutty!) Friends trip out too! I have soooooooooooo much fun with it every day though. 
Good Luck , & thanks for posting back!
