CobraRed's Build thread - updated periodically

Chris im gonna have to role with you to the track when your all said and done, I wanna see what the beast does..... Build looks great, now that youve got most of the issues out the way !! LOL

ha, i bet ur s-197 can still get a better et with slicks than when im done. But that sounds like a plan man, as long as i can make it to the next gas station on I-5:rlaugh:

Well im out in Losuisiana for chistmas and just got online to check my e-mail and saw i got a message from hotmustang. Looks like im ****ed, since he drove his car into a wall at 158 it means my build is down the drain for now. This VT cams i put my build off for 2 months for arn't coming my way, the tune i have is for VT cams and the build was supposed to start this saturday and then completed when the cams arrived. Now i'm F'd cuz this is really the only time i can do this since it's my christmas break from college. Now i just have a bunch of expensive parts sitting around.
 
the tune is a matter of a e- mail,vt stage 1 cams are still avail new,not the deal you were getting,but in stock. build still can be done but just more$$$,sorry to hear you plans went to s**t, such in the life of a mustang modder.
 
UPDATE:

Got the Allied Motors heads today, not ported but liquid run though smoothed and poly crystalline coated, i have a chart somewhere that shows the flow: 172/152

Yikes I never even looked in this thread! Man dude, again im REALLY REALLY sorry...I had no idea all this was going on. WOW. And you have run into alot of problems along the way, and then now not getting my cams :( Man I can understand why you were upset...but hey check that link out for the 262s I sent you. Only 180 more shipped for BRAND NEW 262s. Same power...tune is identacle for them.
Like I said, I was going to sell the vts to you for sure when we swapped in the turbo cams sometime next month....but after my crash, my car is trashed and the engine is my dads now and it actually wont be messed with for quite some time. :(
Again really sorry it worked out this way....especially since you have had all these problems already. :nonono:

But trust me, once you get it all togethor....the power will be SO worth the wait. I remember I waited 3 or 4 moths for my cams new....but when I finally got them it was SO worth it.
Anyways I hope you can forgive me, for the way all this worked out. :(
 
Looks like im either going to pay Jim of CMS to grind me some VT stage 1's, or get stage II's used for a good deal cheaper. Depends one how things go - install will either be next month over weekends or knocked out over spring break in March
