Both not needed..... at this time.

I can only see you upgrading those 2 things if going FI. Then and only then would I consider those 2 mods.

Speaking of FI... George.. :poke:

More snail pacing news...

MMR just told me that my pistons came in today from the coaters.
Again, the guy said "It'll be done sometime next week."
I said c'mon man, you guys have been telling me that for the past 2 weeks! And that I'm looking for a firm date so I can make an appt with my installer.
He broke down and said it should be ready for pick up on Wednesday and that he'll call me on Tuesday if it's going to happen or not.

I hope these guys are as good as they and everyone claims. My patience is wearing thin.. like a sheet of thin ice ready to crack! :panic:

Wow Bill your right up there with me on my rims. Why is this so common in the auto industry? People just can't give you straight answers these days. Well at lease it's one week not two. By the way did you find out about the 8 bolt crank & your stock flywheel?

Whatever happened to delivering products ahead of schedule?
Take my company for example, besides the first few C17's that were in R&D, all of them have been delivered ahead of schedule. Guess what? Customers like that.

No response from Danny yet. Don't really expect one until I walk in the shop and ask him about it.

If it's anything like previous years, and I'm sure it is, then the mass air meter has to be calibrated with the injectors. So, the computer has to be told what size injectors are installed.

Did you and Bill decide what time were going to that burger place tomorrow?:poke:

Installed the Canton Coolant tank today. Still have to go buy a new jug of coolant after draining all the old fluid into a bucket and my garage floor. Still no pics.

G*D dam this place is a morgue.

So anyone else baking this weekend ? It's hotter than crap here and I think it only is a taste of what this summer is gonna be like. Yuck. Once it cools down a bit it's nice but triple digits suck.


Nothing Mustang to add. Came back from the "The Counter" Burger place in Santa Monica with the usual suspects. I am pretty sure there will be a couple pics of the food. We all piled into the Tacolander so no kewl Stang caravan pics.....


Hello, is this mike on ??

Check two.... Check check, Check Two.... A little more monitor please....

Check two

Oh yeah, we've been hitting those high 60s up here.:jester:
We haven't hit freezing for 2 whole weeks now.:nice:
I might even have to put in the A/C units next month.:poke:

NYNY53 5/18/08 08:17 AM

Absolutely beautiful here in Houston, high 70's since the cold front moved through a couple of days ago and really little humidity, which is scary for Houston. There will be a bunch of old lady's turning into prunes without our famous humidity :rofl2::rofl2:

Looking to hit 82-85 today which will be perfect!

TacoBill 5/18/08 08:56 AM

Jed: Good call on going to The Counter burger joint! And great pics too!!:nice:

Brian & George: No prob on the ride.. good times fo' sho! ;)
(Brian, cool scratch at the R&R parking lot! :nice:)

Leo: Glad you were present for the Grey Goose christening! The Redbull & Grey Goose was the bomb! :rofl2:



Luis joined the party late, but made up some major ground in 2 minutes! Chugged 2 Flaming Dr.Peppers like no ones business! :eek:
.. then came the Chocolate Cake shot, Daquiri, Appleton rum & coke, and 2 Jack in the Box tacos! :rofl2:
