    Tuff maverick, I can't decide if I'm going to full tube my mav or run a setup like yours? I'm going single turbo now. Did you get your car down the quarter yet?

    You may want to look at the SN95-series Mustang geometry. Russ used the AJE crossmember but SN95 struts and spindles and ended up much closer to where you are now. Something to consider. I believe he cut out the entire setup, measured, and grafted into the Mav.

    What did you guys use to line the crossmember up? Obviously side to side I can measure and find the center but forward and back I'm just not sure?
