I am 19 and got probley my 5th mustang this is the first standard .
i traded my 4 wheeler to a crack dealer that went to jail  
the car is normally aspirated with a very high compression i think 10-1 er 11-1 and its camm'd pretty high to.
the problem i have is that when it gets warm (not hot) if the car stalls it wont start again till it cools down. and its like it drains the battery when i throw the charger on it fires right up....the battery was in the trunk and i put it back in the engine bay.
trying to fix this problem i got a new battery, new battery cables,moved the battery,new starter,new altenator,new selenoid for the hell of it....can anyone help me with this problem

have you tried checking the timing. maybe you have a large short in the wiring. i would look at timing first.

Best thing to do is get a voltmeter and start testing when it won't start. See if you hav 12 volts at the battery posts, then 12v at the cables. Have someone turn the key and check the solenoid and the starter. You should be able to find the problem.

will it turn over?? are u getting fuel?? if so are you getting fire to your plugs? but first you need to know fuel or fire. if fuel... thats easy, start with the filter then test the pump. if its fire.. that gets tricky, first test to see if you have fire coming from your ignition  modual if so see if fires coming from your coil, if its coming from the coil it should be getting to the plugs. if no fire from the modual change the modual if the doesnt work, pickup..... or computer
