The car is looking really good. I love the rims with the body. You might have to up the power a little to go with the look. What are you doing for shocks and springs? I have been thinking a lot about shocks recently. I need new ones and want a much better setup. I was thinking about the Ground Control setup for the 190 but I do not care about adjustable everything I was thinking maybe trying the konis or something.

Last dyno run prior to the build was 262HP/302Torque @ 7psi on a Mustang load dyno...
Basically double the output from the base line run...
Mustang reads lower then an inertia type dyno by about 15%...
Power at the crank is AMG 5.4L NA V8 range..

Suspension was done in 2008...H&R springs, Bilstein shocks, front and rear Sportline sway bars...
Suspension works extremely well...
Just added front and rear strut tower braces.

Boost will be played with via a Hallman MBC, probably up to 10psi which should give about a 10% power gain.
Adding water/meth injection to bring charge air temp down, hotter Nology coil and will try Beru S1K silver electrode plug.

Dear Mr.
I would love to follow your step but how do you prevent a water from leaking in to the engine bay if you have to park it outside in a rain storm or even when you wash the car? Do you have some gutter detail around those grill?
Or it not a big deal for the engine? please advise

I'd also be interesting in knowing. Seems like it wouldn't be a problem in motion.

I could see the passenger side dripping water onto the turbos and onto the ground, but the drivers side seems more involved with electronics.
