The only mods I had at the time were LCA's, SCT, pullies and no HC trap, and I think at that time I might have already gone to 4.10 gears. It was either stock gears or 4.10's. Everything else was stock. I think there is a thread somewhere when I posted those times. I'll take a gander and see what I can dig up.

If you do both then what would be ideal would be some kind of quick connect system which will allow you to easily remove it at the track but put it back on for the ride home.
Not sure what the links look like on the '05 Mustangs, but swaybar disconnects are very common in the off-road world. I had a set on my old Wrangler. Many designs rattle, which gets annoying after a while, but I had a set of these that worked flawlessly:

I know about quick disconnecting swaybar links. I just don't think there is much of a market for these in the Mustang world. I would just tend to believe that either the swaybar will be on or off. I had a set on my CJ as well, and they are convienent. The swaybar on the 05 is just way too easy to remove and takes all of 10 minutes...using a wrench and not a socket. ^_^

The track must of been sprayed also.Our street nights at our local track dont get the traction spray.That makes a big difference.Want to run on a points day to see how I would 60ft.

They spray maybe twice a night, if your lucky. They only spray before the pro sports and super pro's run. After 20+ cars, how much of that spray do you think is still on the track? It can't hurt though.

Listen to this 169.This couple just moved into the house down the street from me and the Guy has a mint 90 GT thats a show car.Anyways, we have been talking and find out, He is the parts manager at a local FORD dealership. He said he will take care of anything I need including getting my 4.10 Gears installed under warranty

you stink. B) I went into a different dealership (about 20 miles away) yesterday to get the oil changed (explorer) cause I was in the area. I step into their parts department and was surprised as to how much product they had. They carried most FRPP parts in stock, Steeda parts, C&L CAI, crate motors, etc. I felt like I was a kid in a candy store. So, I'm talking to the counter guy about which blowers they were going to keep and he went to get the manager to answer some questions. I start talking with him about my car and some of the stuff I've been through and he asked me if I had a LL green car. It caught me off gaurd. He then proceeded to tell me that he's seen me run at the track a few times then began to tell me about a car club he runs. The FRPP catalog has $5 on them to purchase. I don't know if they actually sell them, but he handed me one to show me some stuff (not like I haven't picked apart that catalog before). I layed it down and he insisted I take it. He said, don't worry, no charge. It just kindof makes you feel good that others take notice to what you do.
I'm currently in discussion with my wife about 2 stickers that'll go on side windows. I don't like stickers on my vehicles and neither does she. I have a company that is offering a particular product and lots of dyno time, as long as I have 2 stickers displayed. We'll see. I don't currently use this product either. Decisions, decisions.
Good deal on the dealership hookup. My dealership knows all that I do, but also know that I won't be bringing the car in with slicks and a busted tranny. Slicks and rubber has to be off first.

Great story, 169. I don't like stickers either... but if they are sponsership stickers, that's a whole 'nother story.

I am the same way 169.I hate stickers and logos.Everytime i order parts they come with stickers that I stick all over my computer.No ones advertising for free on my car.Steeda likes there logo on all there products,so I choose the ones that dont have a logo.
I hate reading magazines articles about unbalievable fast street cars at the drags and when you look at the photos,every inch of window is covered with stickers.I know some have to run the stickers for the class contingencies but,it kinda ruins the idea.
