Jason, are you guys going to do a TMS event this year? I think a nice drive down to "ALABAMA" would be a blast.

Here are some more pics, and a couple quick videos. Car still does not have the final tune so the idle is off and I have an exhaust leak on the passanger side header that I will have to fix this weekend. so here goes

Nice drive by!

And I may be going to 'Bama for the Grand-Am races, but I will not be able to make the 45th Anniversary party. Actually, I am thinking about a possible drive/stay in Williamsburg this season. I had a conference there last fall, and fell in love!

thanks robert. Just wondering. What kind of numbers did you get on the dyno for your car? The 3-Valve and 4-valve seem to be making the same power. And we have similar set-ups give or take a valve : )

Haha I hear ya. Well with my "safe" tune I put 378 @ the rear on a Mustang Dyno. Given I'm only a 9:1 compression but I have a much different cam. I'm strapping her back down within the next few weeks and my tuner said expect 400+ so that's pretty good news
