Phillip - Arthur is not a Mustang tuner. He ussually deals with the import stuff, mostly Honda. If you want to tune the car yourself he'll let you do that by renting on an hourly basis. I would suggest that if you plan on trying to tune wait until everyone else has done there runs so they aren't waiting on you for an hour, or get there early.

What tuner did you get? What are you trying to do with it?

I should be there around 17:00 or so, Hope to get a tune done.

I might try and show up early so that I don't interfere with people just getting 3 pulls and O2 readings.

Today: cleaned air filter, changed fuel, and oil filter.

I plan on getting there at 4:30 or a little sooner. I can get my pulls and get out of the way. Washed the air filter and put in some new front O2 sensors. I will air up the tires tonight.

Regrettably, I will not be able to attend. Could someone take some pictures for me to post on the web site? In addition, a paragraph or two about what went on would be great!

Thanks

LOL, no I'm not a member yet . We will be there around 3. Elon is running his first and doing about 6 runs and swaping parts between every 2. So it may be 4 before I get on there. I have to run it pretty early because I found out late yesterday that I've sold the old 2v engine and he's coming to pick it up today around 5:30. I may come back if I have time but we'll just have to see.

I appreciate being able to run my Tbird and seeing your cars today. 221 HP and 276 Torque was pretty much what I expected for a stock 4.6 automatic. The torque came on low which was good. A/F ratio of 11:1 was a little rich, but that was at WOT. It runs 13-14 medium throttle. I did backfire quite a bit when I let off it, I don't ever hear that on the road.
