Very nice, ever thought about taking off the 5.0? That would look very clean.

Very clean looking car, what they used to call the "sano" look. Love it. I think that car will still look great 50 years from now, when Camaros will appear strange. It's hard to design something that still appeals decades from now but Ford really did it with this Mustang, kind of like the 1970 Boss 302. Will always look great.

Ain't it though? I'm still on stock shocks (no plans to track or drag, etc, so no worries about wear. If it wears out, great, I'll replace it then), but am loving the ride way better.

took the car to Greg at R.E.T to make some passes on the dyno.. First pull with a BAMA race tune. temp at pulls was about 75*
car has C&L cold air intake, Letal H pipe, GT500 muffs, 373 gears in a automatic.

halfway between pulls and tuning and you can see the increase on the bottom end on the graph.

after Greg installed his tune and played around on the last pull.

He was able to pull about 35WRHP and about 45RWTQ out of the bottom end.
THANKS Greg

Nice, did he lean the car out or delete knock sensors? What's your a/f? Did he pull timing on #8 or keep it the same?
