She dyno'd in at 295 WHP today that was with running out of injector. While the F100 is my project, I cannot neglect my TL.

Really? what's done to it?

A lot. I bought this thing years and years ago when I was broke and in college and started upgrading from there. It is a J32 block with J35 heads that have been ported and polished with oversized valves, reground J35 cams from Bisimoto, Wiseco Pistons, AEM stand alone ECU, MDX Turbo Injectors, Areomotive Fuel Pump, new oil pickup and pump, and a built auto tranny. and every other little thing that goes along with all of that. She will happily rev to 8,000rpm and gets awful mpgs. I built it to take 10 psi (safely) from a Comptech Supercharger, I just have not gotten around to that bit yet.

wow... nice. and dedication.
don't mean to be this guy, but do you have a ballpark sense of what all of those mods cost you over the years?

Not a clue really, I have found with my projects over the years it is better not to add it all up. I have done the vast majority of the labor myself but I can tell you that the heads, and cams and pistons were not cheap. If I were to ball park it I would sayyyyyyyy probably 7k+......probably.

yeah totally agree on not adding it up so as to keep some semblance of sanity. i think ive put about 7k in maintenance and upkeep into my $4k jaguar in the past 2 years. as long as they bring us the smiles though right? cant put a number on that,

That is exactly the way I look at it. If it make me happy, then it does not matter. Same thing with my F100 when it is all done I will have spent many times what it is worth but to me it wll be worth it because I love it. I honestly cannot ever see selling this TL, so all the mods are to make me smile.
