Girlfriend's Shelby got a new set of coil covers, powdercoated in a blue that's very close to the color of the stripes:
And we picked up something else, powdercoated in the same color, that will soon find its way in that same engine compartment

And yeah, no problem with the 5.8 ... kinda wish it wasn't there, but oh well ... her thick Ford Racing strut tower brace will cover it up some

Taking it to T15 in Terlingua, TX, four-day fundraising event for Shelby/Terlingua drivers. Speed runs, autocross, 1/2 mile runs and a lot of great people. Will be trying to top last year's speed of 191. Kenne Bell should make the difference! Oh, and watchable video of the run this time. Promise.

Got my JBA 3" H-pipe installed and the Lethal Performance 2.75" over-axle pipes.
No more pipes with 3" pipe welded in ... nice and clean now.
Sounds about 95% the same as before, but a little less raspy when cold, which I like.
The obligatory video and pics:
Got home from my friend's house where we did the work, and proceeded to clear out the garage, both bays still had tons of stuff and boxes in them from the move, 2 months ago.
But, success, both cars are now finally back in their climate-controlled spots

Thanks, and he's actually got 2 lifts. In a barn.
One of the lifts is a drive-on, it's behind the one my car went on.
He's also the guy that installed my supercharger & gauges, my VMP heat exchanger, and did a bunch of work on the GF's Shelby too.
Soon he'll be doing the new blower on her car, and the new injectors.
Can't wait to see what that car will put down then

He's known as the Mustang guru around here ... he also just put a VMP Gen2 blower on his '15 GT, he's at about 600 rwhp with that, so far.
He'll be re-tuning it once the 5.8 blower goes on, hoping for 650 rwhp, but the blower has the stock pulley on it, so we'll see ...

She's on a tune from our local tuner, Pete @ Performance Dyno in Louden, NH.

That is awesome.
