You're 21 and can afford that car and the thousands in mods?! When I was 21 I was sweating the $7,500 I paid for my used 5.0. Not sure how you pulled that off, but good for you. Apparently I missed out on one of those 6 figure salaries straight out of university!

A job that pays well and alot of long hard hours and working holidays and such. It's the thing that reminds me all the work is worth it.

Congrats blackbird! What kind of SC kit did you get? Complete bolt on? I am eyeing a similar kit, but not sure which way to go.... Roush, magnuson, whipple, etc.... Also, I wanted to do the install myself. But then again, if I can get ford to install it with warranty, that might be worth the moolah.

So I might be limited to Roush or Ford Whipple stuff

This thread is collecting some cob webs again, so I shall update!
Went into the shop a couple of days ago and this is what I found:
And I heard this: (cell phone video, audio doesn't do the car justice)
Unfortunately it makes the exhaust sound kind of bad with the cutouts open. Phone just can't handle it.

Great looking car, Blackbird! How do you like the Michelin PS2s compared to the stock all-season Pirellis? I'm wanting to get some better tries and the Michelins look promising.
