When I decided to start modifying my Mustang, I had two objectives:
1) Make it as fast as possible while minimizing the risk of premature failure of the engine or drivetrain
2) Make the modifications look "factory"
That's why I tried to use all Ford factory parts - I know all the testing they have gone through and that they would install without any major headaches or surprises.
The end result is a really unique convertible that may look stock from a distance, but sounds wicked and is a lot of fun to drive.INTAKE: 2001 Bullitt Intake
