    Yeah, he really needs to learn some basic bodywork skills. I like what he's done, but not how he's done it so much if that makes sense. It wouldn't have taken much more effort to clean things up some.

    Better than a bunch of leaf blowers.......

    Was a local guy who had a damn fast turbo'd 4 banger mustang, beat everybody on a rolling start but had a hard time spooling up on the line.. That was a turbo that was waaay too big but boy did he move!

    Yep, they are compounded. Follow the outlet of the 3rd one from the left, it goes directly into the intake of the first from the left.

    Pretty sure plugs go between the cams. Hard to tell..
    I wasn't questioning your guess. Just pointing out all the turbos in there. How much boost can one engine ingest before the block splits apart? Enquiring minds what to know.

    I was debating whether to include that one or not. I actually kind of like it too. Ended up going with Scott's theory of "Screw it, I'll throw it up there anyway!" Fastback Miata's are actually a minor trend.

    Oh now, it's not just everyone that can make a Mach1? Mustang look like an AMX on a bad hair day.
