Drove it this morning. Awesome morning for a drive.

Looking good Tony… I did something for Marilyn too. I improved her stable

Stage_3

Thanks Burton!
I saw what you did for Marilyn. Killer stuff.

Tony did you drive 150 miles...?

Stage_3

Thanks Gary!

Yeah, I think I did 150 miles in the last 5 times I took the car out combined.
I am at over 3,2xx miles now though.

Cleaned it some last weekend and this weekend.

Well,..........that sucks!
I wrote to Roush Performance last night asking about their Phase 3 kit and whether it was CARB complaint or at least Massachusetts emissions friendly and I got back the email today stating that it is not. What a bummer!
I was thinking of sending the car off to Roush sometime early next year to have them install the Phase 3 kit/tune. That sucks.

Would a phase 2 make the cut? You probably would want an aluminator if you did the phase 3 anyway, wouldn't you? Or will our stock parts handle the additional boost?

Gabe

Phase 3 is rated at 675 crank-hp, which is right about 575-590 rwhp, and that's something that the stock longblock can handle just fine, especially for the long drives down the driveway and back that Tony's car does on the dry summer weekends

^^LOL
What Gabe said. The Phase 3 kit would be great if I didn't upgrade the internals, the OPG's and the CGS.
Phase 2 kit is rated at 625HP and 525TQ.

Drove it today after not driving it for 2 weeks.
Felt real fast today for some reason. Not sure if it's because I haven't driven it in a while or because the DA was just right and feeding that cool air into the intercooler and engine. Possibly a combination of the two. Car felt strong ind 3rd and 4th gears today and I didn't even take Advance-Trac off. (I almost never take Advance-Trac off.)

Driving on actual roads will always feel faster than up and down the driveway, Tony.



kidding.

I'm jealous of you though, I haven't driven her in over a week. Too busy

Stage_3

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yeah, when you get back in it to drive it, you'll fall in love all over again. It's an awesome feeling. Enjoy!

shaneyusa

Yup better enjoy it while you can. Pretty soon we all just get to look at them. The cold air is coming. Believe it or not we had snow on the local peaks here this week. NOOOOO... Summer can't be over, way to early for that stuff. Freakin cold for this early in the year too. Better enjoy those short drives up and down the driveway while you can.

The cool air does make it seem snappier than those hot summer days. Love driving mine this time of year. Now if the rain (which we need) would just go away.

Stage_3

LOL
You're right though bro. WINTER IS COMING. (Game Of Thrones reference. lol ) Not digging it one bit. I actually despise the winter months.
The cars do like the cool air though. I hope to take it out this weekend. Supposed to be killer weather. 80's all week. But, I'm not really feeling well either. Should have stayed home from work today, but didn't. I rarely stay home when I'm sick or call out. If worse comes to worse, I'll just leave at half a day.

Stage_3

Fired up the Green Machine today after finish washing the truck.
Felt like crap today. I did my bodybuilding yesterday, went to the gym to do cardio, did bodybuilding today, but skipped cardio to wash the truck today.
Bad move on my part. lol
Can't remember the last time I drove this beast. Maybe a couple of weeks ago?? But, it sure does sound awesome when I first fire her up. Drove it up and down the driveway to get the parts moving a bit. (Gabe should like that one. He'll give me hell for that. lol)

Mustang Freak

I moved mine into the driveway to wash yesterday then I put her back into the garage. I had to laugh because I did think of you when I did that!
