Here she is:





Now the work begins! Mustang has already sent me a bill for the first lease payment and it isn't even in the ground yet! As you can see this thing is a HUGE its just under 16 feet long about 4 feet wide and 3 feet high and weighs just over 7500 lbs!

Whoa! Tom, what a great investment. Looks like you're in for a bit of installation work. If you need someone to stop by and test the system when you get it working....let me know! I'll bet you're going to have a lot of "friends" all of a sudden. Keep us informed as you get it up and running.

:hurray: :cool:

TJ, Nice equipment. What is your take on the difference between the mustang and dynojet brands? I just re-read an article in vette magazine about how a supercharged C5 had a 85 HP diff. between the 2 dynos. I wouldn't expect every car to show such a great diff. based on mods, but is there a discrepency of 10s of HP between them? :seeya

Thanks for the link. Now I know why he entered a weight for my car, but that weight was 3500 lbs! I think that was a little much!! :seeya

Well, thats a real good question. I can't take possession of the shop officiall until the current tenant leaves or he lets me in early to excavate the floor for installation. I hope to have it ready and running come June 15th and no later than that. I have to start earning some cash with it, my payments have already started and I haven't even owned it officially for 36 hours :lol:
