What have you done to your mustang today?

??? I thought you were doing retros?

Got the mockup motor put together so we can slap it in the car tomorrow:

These also showed up today, unfortunately I won't be putting them to use for a few months:

Well after I was done the adjuster knob broke and I threw the white flag.

I got the Raxiom just to try out while I redo the retros....

Almost got Kooks LT headers with O/R H put on yesterday/today. Had to be up at 3:30 A.M yesterday morning to take my wife to the airport, got home to two boxes with my parts. Skipped dinner and started working, quit at 1:30 A.M. today. Being up for 22 hours is tough on an old man, but the excitement of new parts took over. All that is left is some adjustment on the H, tighten a few clamps, and put in a new tune. I'll do that tonight after work.

Rousch told me that 90% of cars he tunes pass no problem. There are some of us who have picky computers that the readiness monitors don't like to set up like they should.

I have full faith in my local tuner. His problem right now is that his reputation is so good in the area, he is absolutely swamped. If my car can be tuned to pass emissions, he could have done it...communication has been sketchy lately though and he's 75 miles away. I'm out of time as my license plates are up next week. I honestly don't expect any performance gain from Mike's tune (probably no loss, either)...but his communication this afternoon was outstanding and he thinks he can take care of my problem, so I'm gonna give him a shot.

Mike is awesome, his level of customer service provided for as busy as he is being a one man show is exceptional in my opinion. I live right between his shop and where his dyno is located. It's great having someone of his caliber within 15 minutes of me. But I'm lucky enough to not have emissions where we are. I'm guessing you're in NoVA since you need to pass emissions? I am willing to bet regardless if he makes more power for you, or not, you will greatly appreciate the drivability of his tune. The throttle all around will feel more linear like it's a cable throttle, you will feel more in control. Your curve will feel like it's continuously increasing power. And I have a manual, from what I hear if you're auto there is no other way to go then with his tune. good luck!

How is the light output on them? I considered that as a temporary thing as well, but I ended up finding the OEM HIDs for the same price and went that route instead.

I ripped it apart. Lower coolant hose, intake manifold, alternator, crossover, wiring

The DOB build has officially begun

Put on the new Forgestar wheels which are 18x10s front and rear wrapped in MT street comps, also painted my calipers to match the car color (Windveil blue) along with the shift knob.

I love my TCI shifter! And congrats on your first post!

I may have just been convinced to dip my car. Damn this looks good.

Mark,

I think you will like the TCI ratchet shifter.
I have ran it now for many years.
