Go with a centri if you want to save some money..... you'll only get a measely 450-480 rwhp for < $5k and you can install yourself.
I couldn't type enough sarcasm in my post. I guarantee that 400 or 500 HP it ain't enough

CONGRATS LEO !!! Great looking car nabs a great looking trophy. Sorry to gear that you got skunked Bill. Not enough nik-nacs... you need more chotckies.. Maybe more flair, you know show how you feel

I miss my car and it's only been 3 days.

Anywho No Mustang Content below...Need to find a #73 around here somewhere.

At Rincon it was cold and Seattle-worthy grey all day Sunday and Monday, cleared up as we left this morning, figures.





It is Cold and blustery in Pismo Beach, oh wel. My view from the trailer.

Bill power is GOOD

You're starting to cave, I feel it

And never enough power

Tom has a good thought, and you can install it yourself, keeps up with the TacoBIll installathon theme then you can get it fine tunes by a good shop the on SoCal

Man having FI under your hood will be outstanding Bill, that will roast the tires quite well, to the point of total white out

OK SORRY TOM

I meant to vote chrome, but after hearing your explanation, I thought the black would be better. I don't like chrome anyway.

FYI, did my first burnout in reverse tonight. Pretty fun when you are burning out into the smoke.

It wasn't you... it was someone else. Then Phil also said he meant to vote black, so black is definitely the favorite now.

Good thing, too, since chrome isn't available any more.

I'll be ordering the black one, and the K-member brace (also black), today.

You need to do it a second time and have someone take a video!

I agree with Tom Kyle, a vid of you doing a burn out in reverse would just be darn cool, too cool. And funny also as I've not seen that one, its always burn outs going forwards.

That was my pay back for taking 2nd place (and pushing me back to 3rd) at Daytona in the Mustang GT class.

Kyle, any wheel hop when burning out in reverse?

My 90 GT hopped like crazy in R just like this puffy fruitcake!

He said it was "pretty fun"... and there's nothing fun about wheel hop.

Depends on his tires, too. If they are stock and a little worn, there will be less grip and therefore less wheel hop as they try to grab the pavement.
