Don't be offended that I didn't post any pics of your car Bill. We all know what it looks like and that it's an award winner now.

**guy in chair is Bill

Well, first you must jack up all four wheels off the earth and crawl under the car and laboriously clean each wheel while sweat drips in your eyes, not to mention getting a kink in your neck by the time you get to the third wheel! Good fun!

You can always make a road trip to the West Coast this September!

TacoBill

No offense taken, Leo. I wonder if a Burger King paper crown will do?

Nice pics too!

Now, pardon me while I float away on my winning cloud...

As if there were any other possible outcome
CONGRATULATIONS BILL

TacoBill

Thanks Daryl!

Now that I'm back down to Earth, it's time to get ready for my O/R H-Pipe install later this week.

I'm really excited about this one. I think I'm most curious on how loud it'll get in combination with the Stingers. I've heard the many video clips, but we know that they don't really reflect what they'll actually sound like. But, I'll shot a vid anyway!

My 2 current problems..
How to scrounge up $400 for the SCT and BamaChips tune.
How to get rid of 1/2 tank of regular unleaded, like right now.

My only 2 problems in life at the moment.. How pathetic is that?

Sell a kidney (You only need one)
DRIVE the car.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Just use the 87 tune until you can put in 91.

TacoBill

I knew I shouldn't have put $30 in at my last fill up.

Guess I'll see what happens first, run the 87 octane down or get the SCT. If the latter, I'll run the 87 Perf or Octane tune. I really want to run the 91 Torque tune right off the bat.

Webelectric Sequentials are on the way too!
(A gift from my bother-in law)

89Trooper

No you don't! You want to feel the power of the 87 performance tune... then when that starts to feel slow again, you have something else to bump up to!

You'll have to post a video like mine! (like you wouldn't have anyway )

TacoBill

Excellent point!

I think the 3 tunes I'll request will be the 87 Perf, 91 Perf, and 91 Torque.

A friend at the show yesterday told me his SCT only takes a couple minutes to upload a new tune.

89Trooper

Same ones I'll get, except mine will be 93 Perf, and 93 Torque.

Glad it only takes a few minutes... the '03 GT took forever!

TacoBill

The CDC sequentials will look like this.

Pictures? Videos? You know you can count on it!

TacoBill

I'm thinking about a dyno run after my tune (91 perf). There's a Mustang performance center close by that has a dyno.

Not looking for a dyno tune as I trust Doug and his tunes, but just for trivial data more than anything.

I wonder how much $$$ a 3 run session will cost?

89Trooper

It's seems silly to tune our cars to have to spend more money on gas, but as gas prices go up, it actually gets cheaper to go to the higher octane.

In FL, we have 87, 89, and 93 octane.

When the prices were .99, 1.09, and 1.19, it cost 20% more to run the higher octane.

Now that they are more like 2.89, 2.99, and 3.09, it only costs about 7% more to get the high octane!

I would like to get my car Dyno'd, too... don't think it should cost too much. I got a price awhile back for my 89 but forget now what it was. Wasn't bad, though.

89Trooper

Notice anything different in these two pictures?

I'll give you one: The top is down in the second picture.

TacoBill

Let me guess... about $2500 worth of differences?

Thought it be fun to post some pics of my 'older' Mustangs.

First up was my very first 1985 Mustang GT hatchback.

I bought it used from a Ford Dealer, 11 months old and only had 11k miles.

This was the GT that I modded quite heavily (no where near some guys, but big to me ).
Progressive lowering springs, Holley 650CFM Double Pump carb, Edelbrock Performer manifold, Ford Motorsports headers, roller tip rockers, Comp Cams Magnum 280H roller cam, NOS stage 1 nitrous with fuel distribution block, hi-flow air filter, some kind of Turbo mufflers and no cats!
Audio system was all Alpine, including their very first (1st Gen) CD player, which was a stand alone/add-on unit. And of course, a mobile phone.

Yes, I was 'Mr. GT' with this ride!

Also has an 85 Ninja 600... life was easy back then. My model in the first pic is my Niece who recently graduated with her Masters (now that really shows our age!).

Please ignore the 'GT Express' sign on the rear window... it was the 'thing' to do for a short period of my life.

Look at those awesome 10-hole rims! Actually, I would love to have a brand new set of those... they are the "proper" rims for the cop car, but I like the Pony rims better. I have a pretty good set, but it would be nice to have a new set for any judged car shows.

Sorry, Prez, I tried to ignore the "GT Express", but couldn't. :gay:

No engine shots?

I had a phone that looked like that... it was a "Transmobile Cellular Phone".

89Trooper

I would hate to add it all up, but unfortunately, I think it's more.

Did you cheat and look at my sig? (cause the mirror inserts are on both pics!)
