^ nice vids... That sucking sound and SC whine is intoxicating. Although I wonder if I would tire of that when driving... hmmm...

also, please do me a favor and give your buddy some hood struts (MRT or Redline) for his birthday or xmas. All those $$$ mods under the hood, and he has a prop rod to hold his hood up. Tsk tsk tsk.

^ lol... tell me about it. Kindda pathetic, tell him

Hey Gabe, I'm hoping to get on the dyno sometime soon. I need to have real #'s to back up my claim haha. You have a smaller pulley and box tune? I'm guessing I'm between 530 and 550 rwhp. More than enough for me at the moment.

I'm running a 10-psi pulley, JLT CAI (supposedly good for 30-40 rwhp with the right tune, and the tune is a JDM e-mail tune, datalogged and checked out ok

If I keep the boost the same, it'll push it up over 700. I have room to raise it though as I'm running just under 16. I likely will keep it at 16 to reduce heat buildup.

I have mine tuned by Jon and he is comfortable writing tunes for KB-equipped engines; when you have multiple mods, it's always best to have a tune written specifically for your engine. It will take better advantage of the potential power than others will.

Ford dealers wear plaid jackets

Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately I see that what I have assumed has become a full nightmare reality.
Went to order a 2015 Mustang today and was told it's going to be $5000 to $7000 over MSRP.............My first thought was I guess it's not a working-class sports car anymore?
It was at that moment I understood why Ford Motor Company is a world class car company with third world car dealerships.

I know the reality of sales is to strike while the iron is hot that's why most people have such a high regard for car salesmen. They have every right to charge what they assume idiots will pay, as I have every right to buy a different vehicle. However what are the ethics and value in this when most people will be upside down with the value of their car in the future.

I wonder if this was the intent of Ford Motor Company. I know the first 1965 mustangs were sold at a obviously high price. My warning to all of you who are assuming you can get it at a decent price, UR sadly mistaken. It would be better for you to wait until the fall.
Show your displeasure and call Ford motor company. (Do not call the dealership) they will tell you they can sale it at whatever price they want.

Got my Resonators deleted today. Definitely complimented the GT500 mufflers. The idle is perfect for me.....for now

No drone from what I can tell, but I've only driven it for about 15 miles today.

Then, it was his "whine" that I had heard.
I did see your car get a little "sideways" leaving the parking lot though. lol

I wonder how Plastidip would hold up to the heat under the hood. If it would last, I vote you spray it.

Have you thought of color matching it to your cars color? My car is Ingot Silver with the standard silver GT strut tower brace, which I think looks the best(color matched).

I would paint instead of plastidip. I'm not sure it'll hold up to the heat, especially on a hot, summer day.

Just got these today:

Stealth turn signal bulbs and a one touch turn signal module.

It is all dealerships that do this, not just Ford stores. Wait a few months and the artificially inflated prices will return to normal.

I took Mistress Lauren out for a trip to the Apple store at the Natick Mall to get wifey's IPad checked out. Took the scenic route, aka the back roads. I got her Mustangs of Massachusetts numbers in the mail, she is sporting her number proudly!
