    Switched Fuel from Shell to Costco and Noticed Something Strange

    Nothing negative will happen by running premium in a car that calls for 87. Its just that it won't make any improvement. Won't hurt anything but your wallet. How long have you had this car ( sorry if I missed that in an earlier post)

    S197 Drop Springs

    Ford P springs and the matching shocks with GT500 strut braces. About 1" lower and while ride is firm it is not jarring. I am very happy with this and its been several years.

    3v Mustang Insurance

    @stkjock has given you the best advise. I am an insurance agent..so the best thing is to register the car to your parents and put it on their policy. If not, and you must do this on your own prices will be very high no matter what car you buy. Especially if you want the protection of collision...

    Hopefully we will all meet at some Ct. car event in upcoming season. Seems like less and less S197's around.

    Drank the Kool-Aid - MGW

    I've only heard good things about the MGW shifter so you can't go wrong. But I have the Barton flat stick ( I guess I drink cool aid also) and I have no regrets.

    electric fan issues

    I understand wanting to replace the battery but that would not cause the belt to squeal, I concur on the fan motor

    It's "that time"

    Battery tender is on. They have already put some salt down here in south western Ct. Not sure why, there we're 2 flurries. If we get some good rain I'll take the car out for a nice drive, but once the snow hits I put my cover on it and let it sit until late March.

    Need a tune

    Correct me if I am wrong but... if the car is stock except for a cai you don't need a custom tune. SCT tuners are pre programmed with certain CAI's so you can just select your cai and which octane you want to tune for and its a go.

    Wanting To Upgrade Suspension.

    All great suggestions here but I'll add what I have done. I understand not wanting to lower the car, but you can lower it a little and improve the dynamics greatly. I installed Ford Racing ( now Ford Performance) P springs, matching shocks and GT 500 strut mounts. It all came in a kit from LMR...

    That looks fantastic. A look that I have always thought would be great on these cars.
