sweet looking. what engine work have you done? can you up grade the fuel injectors to 90lbs and bump up fuel pressure and reprogram the pcm? we did that plus larger throttle body to buds car made lots more power. over the summer I picked up a engine for my 69 mustang fb 351 cleavland cobra jet 4v 4 bolt mains came from a 72 torino cobra. when your at the track are you speed limited? I was going to do the pocono speed way thing but they limit the speed to 100mph so was thinking might not be worth it, idk maybe this spring.

No engine work.. and no plan for it either.. ha!

No plan to upgrade the brakes either.. it has 6-piston caliper up front and 4-piston on the rear.. 350mm all around.. (These factory calipers are made by Brembo) They do a decent job of stopping the car consistently.
