Nice vids, looks like it was taken by a pro!
btw, I can attest, Leo's car is MUCH quicker off the line now.
Not in trouble, just went out for sushi this evening and took Amber home.
No prob on the help, and thanx for the In-N-Out, it hit the spot!

If you have the Shaker shroud trimmed like me and Leo's (or intend to), having the duct attached to the rear of the scoop looks goofy IMO. The way we have it, sans the ductwork, cool ram air is directed into the engine bay, directing the hot air out (has to go somewhere

On a side note, got my custom engine bay placard today, it looks great! (sorry, no pic).
I'll post pics as soon as I mount it on my new MWAG radiator cover, which will be sometime next week.

I already changed my mind about leaving the tube on. I might leave it on and cut it where the bathtub ends (where the tube is a rectangle).
Hope I get my radiator plaque soon, too!

Gears fun factor: 10
4.10 gears have been put through the paces. All I can say is wow. It's right up there with intake and tune as far as mods go. I'm so glad I went 4.10. The cars pulls like a SOB and spins the tires through the 1-2 shift. Bill went for a ride along and I think he was impressed.
So as I'm sure you guys can tell I'm more than happy with my choice.
Also didn't help Ford decided to put these wierd support brackets on my car. Bill doesn't have them and niether does anyone who I've seen pics of LCA's. Needless to say the 10lb paperwieghts have been removed. (Please check your cars and let me know if you have these.) Bill has the pic of it so I'm sure he'll post later.
BTW-No noises or vibration as has been reported by others.
GMS A-arm support.- 5-6
Easy install. Car doesn't feel any more rigid so not sure if it made a difference. Eitherway it only cost me $30 so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Where did you get the A-arm support for $30? I can get one cheaper than JR advertises but not $30.

I have no idea. It makes no sense being there. It appears to be some sort of support to itself. Each block is solid and weighs around 5-7 lbs.
I have the same threaded boss on my axle, but it's circled with a marker (on both sides).
After 5G's on a turbo, cut loose of a couple hundred for some FRPP camcovers. Now's the time to replace those fugly OEM covers since you have things apart.
I think it was on a Group Buy from another Forum.

Did you leave them on or remove them and did the bolt have to be replaced?

Ray Man: Did you leave them on or remove them and did the bolt have to be replaced?
The factory never installed those blocks on my axle. The bolt has one of those retaining clips (similiar to the ones that hold the rotors in place over the studs) and stays attached to the block.
Since I didn't have those blocks installed as well as most all others seen on the net, Leo decided to remove them. One other important reason was because the block on the Passenger side was prohibiting the relo-bracket from laying flush up against the axle mount.

I agree... I thought I typed it earlier, but I guess I didn't - they are a damper for something (and I guess it helps with Noise, Vibration, and Harshness, like Karman said).
By the way - mine doesn't have the paperweights, either.
Anybody else with a slush-o-matic wanna check?

well Leo, sounds like the 4.10s were the way to go
but dang it I was trying to hold off on any mods 'til next year.... now I'm looking again.
I'm really interested to see how the LCAs did as well. I couldn't hear a chirp 1st-2nd in the vid ?? did they stop that ? Also do they reduce the left-turn tendency of the car when there is no traction ??
BTW... rooting for the Pack all the way. once it was 27-zip they changed it to the eagles/skins game and I lost interest. Looks like the Seahawks aren't getting anything done this year

To tell you the truth I'm not sure how much of a difference they made since I never got to see how the car drove with them before the 4.10's. With that said I don't think I'd have anyhwere near the amount of traction I do know if it wasn't for the LCA's and Relos. Reason being I'd spin the tires launching without the lca/relos so with 4.10's I probably would've roasted them. I'm hoping I see atleast a tenth if not a couple tenths improvement when I go to the track in early december.
That's sucks that they cut away from the game. I have NFL Sunday ticket so I watched the whole thing. I can't wait for their games against detroit and dallas since those are the only winning teams left on their schedule. Playoffs are pretty much guranteed right now. It's just a matter of wether they'll be the #1 or #2 seed. I'm sure that will be decided by the winner of the Packer/Cowboy game.

Funny you say that. The Gator basketball team was given an award for being "America's Team" today. I'm not sure why or how we got the title, but we received a fine glass trophy and they gave out wrist bands to all the fans.
