When we last told you ghostly tales about Sheldon Lewis’ Hellion-turbocharged 2015 Mustang he was pushing the stock Coyote platform to the edge of an 8-second pass. He almost got there, but it turned out the stock internals were not up to the task after surviving several low-9-second passes with over 900 rear-wheel horsepower on tap.

Sheldon Lewis’ 8-second 2015 Mustang gets the job done courtesy of a built Coyote boosted by Hellion Power Systems’ Eliminator twin-turbo kit. Thanks to the tuning of Sai Li the combo puts down over 1,000 horsepower to the rear wheels.

On the fateful day, Sheldon thought it was about to come together. Racers always say the car was “on a pass” when the car breaks, but he knew that the fates had aligned if only the hardware was up to the task.
