Slow in the head that boy is. 
I'll take a muscle car boy over a ricer anyday. Stupid punks! 
I just looked up Stage 4 and the only difference is the pulley.
Stage 4 has a 3.0 pulley at 11-13psi, Saleen Extreme CAI, 39 lb. injectors, FRPP GT500 fuel kit, HTO spark plugs, and the vacuum line kit.
I've got all of that except I'm running the 3.2 pulley which they list as being approximately 11 psi. And I have found that to be accurate.
Tom had cams and no LT headers, I have LT headers and no cams.
When I was piecing it together I knew I wanted the GT500 fuel pumps. I knew I'd want more boost and would need it. So why waste money with a KB Boost-a-pump material and labor.
You can buy the blower like the one that's for sale. It'll be a complete kit. You can then upgrade all at once with the fuel pump and pulleys in the future.

Needs to be more Astony
I had a dream last night that i owned a mustang, and i bought a supercharger for it and i accidently bought too small of injectors, so i had to search around to trade my injectors in for bigger ones.

You may or may not know but I had a base non-cooled Vortech blower, then upgraded to a air-to-air Paxton cooler with the Vortech, and then to the Saleen. The overall horsepower output between the Vortech/Paxton combo was comparable to the Saleen, but the Saleen made an additional 100 lb/ft of torque that the other combo did not make. I would do a twinscrew over again for sure. In fact I'd like to find one for my Mach but Kenne Bell is the only complete aftermarket kit available and it sells for almost $7k.

This is the HU in 7. But it doesn't have Nav. I know where I'm going. Getting a Nav is like stopping and asking for directions. Might as well put on a dress while you drive.

I will buy Jack Stands!!!
You guys are really into the sound systems uh? To my dismay in the GT i have the shacker 1000 which leave me with no options. and the taurus has 4 blown speakers.
I have not had a car with a system since my 96 SHO that had the factory JBL system with a factory sud that I wired to my box (two 18" punch XLC's & a RF Punch 400 I think). It hit pretty hard and sounded great in the SHO.
Prior to that it was in my Exploder along wit a RF deck and components powered by a RF amp (don't remember what it was). That truck would hit really hard and could bounce a quarter off the roof with the right track.
But now I'm lost as to that whole world and I really wish I didn't have the crappy 1000watt system in the Mustang.

The truck is running mostly on water at this moment, because it did overheat on the previous owner (she was up front about her husband not taking too good of care of it) while pulling a boat.
So my question here is, after I replace the t-stat and radiator hoses, then get someone to flush the system, unless me and my dad can do that too, what should I look for if it's not anything that I've replaced?
Sidenote: I've got the towing package, does that mean I have either an oil or trans cooler?

OH! And the DMV wanted to charge me $425 to register my truck
They have a $225 first time registration fee for getting a plate for a vehicle, but luckily we had an old plate we could renew, so I saved that $225. This car business is hecksa spensives.

gees sounds like the costs are down in the Death Race series $250.00 to get stage 1 stag 2 and stage 3 for full viewing, but now with Fankenstein out they be needed some talent so thus I can only gather as to why lic plates would cost so much ?

I got an estimate from a really down to earth salemen at goodyear for the t-stat, hoses, flush and a serpentine belt, but that's not needed too badly. When he came out and looked at the truck, the water I was using for coolant was bubbling just a little out of the overflow tank, but has since been good. The gauge on ACCESSORY at goodyear ran up to the M in normal, but when driving, it's never been over the O, so I think that when it's running it cools enough, but I know I need the hoses, and I'll talk to my dad more about it. If we can do the flush here, we'll just do everything, because all the water will be out for a new thermostat anyway, and I save like 225 bucks that way.

Anyone have the link to that blue '05 mustang with the really loud exhaust? I can never seem to find it. 
Nevermind, found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNEeBPadQiQ

I just want more bass, the treble in the Mach 460 is good enough for me, but the bass I have to crank to the top before it's pounding in my chest, I want that to happen at normal volume
Stuck with? Just make sure to ingrain into her that acceleration is fun, and so is sounding good. But do it smart.

After that I would change the hose and put a thermostat in it ( you guys can do that easily on that truck). Also, that truck should have a clutch fan on it. Make sure it is ok. With that many miles it could be bad. Look around the center of the clutch around the bearing seal and see if fluid has leaked out of it (run you finger around it and look for a thick black goo), and when the truck is completely cold, try to spin the fan by hand. There should be resistance, if you can spin it freely (a hard spin and it keeps on rotating 4 or 5 revolutions) the clutch is bad. They're probably about 25 bucks at Autozone.

I'm pretty sure the cap is good, my dad took it off and seemed to have some trouble lol. I'll check the price on a new one though, if it's only a few bucks I'll probably get a new one. You're talking about the cap on the top of the radiator, right? 'Cause the cap on top of the overflow tank isn't airtight at all.
