Picked the car up today..... it is a complete animal and I'm not even getting on it due to the clutch. Speaking of the clutch, it grabs like a SOB but the pedal effort is smooth, easy and very distinct. The Ram TOB seems to be doing very well too. You can tell that the cams have a very strong top-end pull, it wants to get to redline instantly without even going WOT.
Oh, I installed my Mr. HID kit today too...... so easy a caveman could do it, honestly. It is a great kit, although my choice of 8k lighting might be a tad too blue for me, time will tell.

Hey Tom,
Are you happy with the light output of the HID kit? They claim 3X the lumens over halogen bulbs. I ordered the 6K bulbs. Should have them later this week.

never follow a Chicago team to seroiusly... they will only break your Heart.
Also installed the Razzi side skirts this weekend, painted them and put them on yesterday and Friday. I only have about 1 to 1 1/2" total clearacre from the ground. I had to cut some 2 x 12 boards to laid down to get out of my drive way. I'll take some pictures today at the Niles Apple Fest car show.

Looking forward to the pics!
Now its time to wash the car, was out at a friends farm last night after the game, and gravel roads aren't very nice!
Congrats Justin! Are we going to 12's? It seems once I hit the 12's I kind of lost alot of interest going to the track, its been nearly a year!
Made the dreaded appointment at the dealer to take her in before the warranty is up in 2 weeks for some minor things, mostly tsb's. This will be her one and only appointment at a dealer. Its going to be hard to drop it off and leave

Hey Scottie,
Great idea about the wheel cleaner on the cast aluminum valve covers. They look good. I will try that before it get cold outside.

I'm definitely going to shoot for 12's without going forced induction, would be one fun ride for sure. I've got a few ideas for over the winter, and maybe I will get some drag radials for my stock rims next year.

I knew it wasn't your car, there's not enough carbon fiber on it.....
I thought you had already bought the stripe. BWD makes good stuff, I haven't checked out the website in some time now.

Scott thanks ! I was surprised how well it worked myself. The definition isn't good in the photos but they look just about like they did the day I picked up the car at the dealership.

IMO those are the graphics that should have come on the CS to begin with ...the blue looks great! Now if you could have some tumbling dice cut into the graphics it would fit your Gambler theme....Snake eyes big Daddy !

Boy am I glad "mandingo" was all one word........ 
Any one get Modified Mustangs and Fords magazine? Gary (who did Bill's article) just told me that my car is on the cover with a write up inside of the November issue! They were supposed to tell me so that I could get copies, but I haven't heard from them. Apparently Gary has seen it down in Florida!
