Installing 2013 Shelby GT500 Front Brembos on my 2014 GT "Eleanor" today. I hope they are not as bad as MT says they are. Ive gathered they have had some bad reviews. I think a pad and fluid upgrade will help no? Any body have the GT500 6 pots?

Had a vacume leak on the valve cover side of my JLT can. Idle was acting a little crazy. Turned the fitting which was loose just a little too much. Broke the fitting. It was pretty brittle. Replace the fittings or just order a Moroso can and sell just the JLT can without the hoses for less than a Hundo shipped?

It's better than having nothing until I get a Bob's. Especially considering how much oil has gotten sucked back into the intake before I put that thing on there. Just one autobahn run and almost a tsp of oil. I was standing there just staring at the inside of the canister like an idiot.

I had 5 quarts of Motorcraft's finest put in yesterday. The dealer also installed my MRT H pipe. Too bad it was raining and had to take it easy on the drive back home.

Last night I ordered new shocks/struts, gt500 mounts, and springs. I'm looking forward to putting them on. I went with the Koni STR.T and the Eibach sportlines. I think that should be a pretty good combination.

low end rpms I don't really notice, I'm going to have my friend drive it, since he's not in it all the time. See if he notices any difference. at 5k that's where I noticed quicker acceleration. It was pretty easy fun install. I'm in the city and the police were everywhere on the highway last night. So couldn't really open it up. Exactly how many times I'm going to be going that fast is big question. Looks great under the hood and wasn't a too expensive of a part

Added a Bobs Auto sport can. Didnt like the hose or ugly worm clamps that came with it so I found some hose local with minimal writing and added the Gates heat shrink clamps. Also painted the exposed brass fittings black with Ford touch-up paint. Very happy with result. Also a couple of pics from a Ford cruise last saturday for the annual Fords on Fourth car show.

Also went on my first "real test drive" since doing the suspension and custom tune upgrades. Drove up Mt Lemmon which is a mountain road that goes from 2500ft elevation to 9500 in 20 miles or so. Car performed absolutely perfect. Suspension is incredible compared to stock or compared to my other hobby cars. Fell in love with the car probably for the first time....thats how good the whole car feels currently. Nothing better than carving some corners with nice suspension, good power and open Boss side exhaust.
