Took the car out for some data logging on V8 of the MPT tune. It was tough to watch both the tach and the boost gauge - this tune will go up to 6,000 rpm but MPT wanted the pull only to 5,000 rpm. Noticed in the log it went to 5,500+ so pretty close. The gauge showed 6 lbs, maybe 7 but seemed to be closer to 6 (maybe I should figure out the boost sensor for my Aeroforce scan gauge since that reads digital and in tenths). On the first pull not only did I have to watch the tach and boost gauge, but determine just how far ahead that deputy sheriff car was and how fast I was going to close the distance!

Bought some SVTPP wheels because they were considerably cheaper than other wheels I'm eying. Immediately have buyers remorse and think I should have paid more to get a more custom look. Crap.

If you bought them locally you could always contact the seller and see if they had other interested people in contact with them. Every time I've sold something on Craigslist I've had other people interested.

Yesterday ...

Took it (and the GF took her Shelby :) ) to the annual NH Mustang Club's picnic.

Lots of nice cars, really nice people, all at a member's house, a 200+ acre property

Na, I bought them from EBay. I'll do some swapping or flipping or something or the other if they're not the look in going for.

Not today, but yesterday realigned my exhaust now it sits better.

Replaced a stripped spring perch on my ST XTA coilovers and lowered it some more.

Went to the NWN Motorsports street car challenge in Bremerton this weekend. Ran a new PB of 12.6 at 113. Lazy 2.029 60 foot LOL still learning how to drive it on slicks!

Gabe, in all honesty, I'm pretty jelly of how many Mustang/car shows you attend. Looks like a fun time!

Lol, thanks Cam, it was fun, a great turnout, great weather, so a lot of Mustangs came out to play this year.
Last year it rained, so Lisa and I took my Focus

That looks like a great turnout, Gabe. Some really nice rides in those pics, too.

Yeah, but whats up with the falcon? Is that a falcon vert?

Falcon convertible, yes.
Owned by the same guy that owns the '11 GT350 next to it and the pristine convertible Foxbody next to that.

The old GT500 is an original 1-owner car, same people that own the red no-stripes convertible GT500 next to it.

Installed the infamous MGW Gen 2. It lived up to its reputation, amazing difference from the stock shifter.

Installed version 9 of the turbo tune from MPT. They made some more adjustments to the transmission tune based upon my input and asked me to drive it easy to let things adapt ----- then take it out for a data logging session and run it up to 6,500 rpm this time. Going to be nervous doing that, last time I took it to 7,000 and broke a piston.
