No way I haven't lost my mind. It's just the guy I bought the Vortech from is giving me a 3.0 pulley he had but never used. I'm going to give it to Bill since his engine is now setup to handle alot more than mine. I'll be going with the 3.48 pulley that comes with the intercooler.

Cool 'cause if you're going then I gotta haul as$ home and swap out the tires.

Bet you're nervous right now and excited at the same time.

Spoke with Leo this morning; he's still on the road.

He's so excited, his ETA is before 6am.

Guess he'll be kicking back at McDonald's for a while.

LOL, you caught me lurking Bill. Haven't been on in a LONG time, and was browsing through to see what was up.

Nice to see you FINALLY got your car back, now where the hell are the videos ??

F-150 is fine, but I miss my Stang very much

Been busy, so no spare time to lurk too often anymore.

How's the whole gang doing ??

No videos yet until I know she'll hold together at warp speed.

Everyone's doing fine. Leo's getting blown by tomorrow, so he's a happy camper.

Stop by here more often!

Me pick him up? Nope, that was Luis.

Luis made it, there seems to be mild hiccup, I think they're staying there until it gets ironed out.

I know what it is, but I'll let Leo chime in on it when he can.

Just came back from RET and dropped of my original manifold for core return.

Greg was busy tuning a Ford GT from Galpin so I told him we'll do my tune thing another day.

That be Greg behind the wheel.

I stayed for it's first pull..

Update

Well the car is at ST now. Before Luis and I left the cai, shaker, intake manifold, battery were off. Fluids had been drained. It's possible but not likely the car will be ready tomorrow morning. It looks almost 100% though that it will be ready late tomorrow (6-8pm).

As far as the hiccup or hiccups Bill was talking about.

Turns out the guy from S197 sent me stock injectors and was missing a few hoses etc. So that will end up costing me a few hundred extra bucks. I'm going to shoot him a pm and see if I can recoup some $$. Doubt it but why not right?

Other than that though everything is going according to plan. Can't wait till tomorrow.

Leo's car will be whistling soon!

If that's all the problems, take it and run! Don't complain one bit!

True. It's just looking at my wallet that hurts now.

Leo, sorry to hear about the problems but it looks like it's under way, so that is the most important and best part. Glad to see it wasn't delayed any or partially torn down before the missing pieces were noticed.

You should absolutely contact that guy. That money wouldn't be leaving your bank if the correct parts were shipped. $hit happens but not including parts is just wrong.

Looking forward to the progress report tomorrow.
