I know where my consolation prize is.. sitting at home under the cover.

I wonder how far back our SC'd Mustangs would've been.

And by the looks of it, 20" wheels look like performers to me.

That's your fault. It's completely drivable now so any minute you spend not driving you can only blame yourself.

Yeah those 20's probably are very light weight though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

Believe me, I want to drive it, but if there's a chance of rain, forget it.

Like I said, if it looks good when I get home, I'll take it out for a spin.

I'd like to think if I give him enough crap maybe one day he'll change his mind. What can I say I'm an optimist.

How the install looks? Really? A decision on wether or not to be cooled is based on looks?

All you'll hear back from me is that's it awesome. Seriously though i won't be able to offer a comparison of the difference between cooled/non cooled since I'll never have driven the car without it.

Of course looks will play into this! You just spent $200+ bucks polishing and powdercoating stuff didn't you? So I'm guessing looks plays into your decisions too.

That's different though. I'm not using appearance to determine wether or not I should get a performance mod. I just choose to add some blingage to a performance mod. Make sense?

Sure let's trade. Hopefully during a rainy week.

Leo, you make no sense.

For me, appearance dictates the mod, and the mod compliments the appearance. For example, wanted to keep the Shaker so I went with a centri.

I'm sure the Paxton cooler works well... we'll see.

Okay Leo, took the car out despite the menacing clouds. Luckily, no rain drops.

Took Chris to Muay Thai class in Hermosa Beach. Parking sucked, so I went to the Walgreens parking lot nearby and parked in their employee slots.


Even shot a little vid for you.

One thing I definetely noticed, the exhaust is quieter, raspiness gone, trumpeting all but gone (this was amazing), and the decel burbling has quieted down significantly. All this just from the JBA shorties?
Leo, you have to re-install the O/R-H!
