OK back to normalcy
Glad to see Brenspeed doing so well. I e-mail John to get my Dyno tune and they are booked for all of March and into April. So I either have to reinstall the 3.6 pulley or ask for a e-mail 3.4 pulley tune till I can get to Brenspeed to fine tune it, if I want to use the Mustang.
Scottie you would look bad@ss in a Wally World vest.

Uh...thanks Darrell. I think.
So I come home today and my Steeda springs from Sam Strano are here. Now I have the Koni shocks and Steeda springs but I don't have the new GT500 strut mounts from CJ pony yet. They are on backorder. So I called and I am told mid April!! WTF??? No way Ford is building that many GT500's. Is there that many guys replacing their strut mounts that Ford can't keep up? Oh well I guess I'll get the rear end done and just wait.

I was lucky enough to have a hook up in Ford parts who got me the parts outright, and all I had to do was give him my old ones with my VIN and mileage when I did the swap (pro kit and Tokicos) I think they got the credit for the warranty(tsb) labor, I noticed it in vehicle history, lol.

I've got my rear upper control arm installed, what a pain in the neck that job was. The bolts for the bracket were in there pretty good. I'm going to re-check everything tomorrow morning just to be sure, but I think I've got it all tight. The J+M adjustable arm looks pretty strong, I'm glad I went with it to match the lower arms I already have.

I probably could. I'm sure at a higher cost than the GT500 one's from CJ Pony. At $56 bucks shipped is hard to beat. I will just get the rear end done first and see what I will do.
Hell I got a set of the B version that I give away. They were just as bad as the orginal. The GT500 version fixed everything on mine.

I'm going to wait to get the GT500 mounts. I'm not ready to drive the car just yet anyway. If CJ Pony comes thru in a couple of weeks I'll be okay.
Hey Glenn...got that shifter installed yet? Yours looks like poo.

Wow really. Noise was gone for me. I did install new struts and springs at the same time, so who knows. Ford sure dont
Got a e-mail about Doug (from Bama Tunes) joining up with American Muscle. Then got a e-mail saying since I brought my Tuner from American Muscle I got Free tunes from Doug for life. MMM so I e-mail them back to see if they will write one up for me and all my mods (I'm betting not). We will see.
