Thanks everyone, it's been a tough battle to get all the little details sorted out on this.
I had a lot of the parts already when I started this. But figure:
Custom Headers
Adapter Plate
VK56
Custom Driveshaft (DriveShaftShop Aluminum 5")
Trans/Motor Mounts
ViPEC V88
Racepak IQ3
And you have the minimum cost of my basic setup. Obviously there are a bunch more parts. But I think you can get an idea from that list.
Thanks Adam, I've been following your project as well. Cool stuff for sure
Yeah, it's really there.
A few reasons for that. It's a bone stock factory motor other than tuning and headers/exhaust. We know my intake pipe is choking the motor, the IATs are a bit absurd right now, and the pipe is too small. Something I should fix but haven't gotten around too yet as we just got the car started and tuned the other day. It's also on a Mustang dyno which typically reads "lower" numbers than DynoJet's, which is what you see a larger amount of people using for typical dyno runs. Factory rating is 305 hp / 379 ft·lbf (at the crank). It's nothing I'm really concerned about, a few tweaks (cams, intake pipe, throttle body, or a blower) and the problem will be taken care of. Just want to drive it for a bit right now before I worry about screwing around with stuff.

I have two brake systems in the car. Factory Brembos on all 4 corners, then a second set of brembos in the rear on a custom bracket I made. Those are connected to the hydraulic handbrake in the car on an isolated system.
