Very nice vid man. Hopefully I can get dyno'd next weekend at the Des Moines cars and coffee.

Koni install complete. 3-1/2 hrs for install, was very simple.

Set on the firmest setting (only one I've tried), these konis are fantastic. It's firmer than stock for sure, but man, the rear end just feels so planted. On takeoff, I seem to have more grip now than on the stock shocks.

Really great mod. Not sure why I waited this long to get them. Sheesh.

Patrick (laserred(, I guess I should have listened to you a long time ago, lol.

let my little brother, who is a cop and trained to drive fast, test drive it. Then I came home and changed my shorts.

Driving down to LA to pick up some rear seats out of a pristine 01 Cobra (in the Escape since the GT has no seats now). Then in a couple weeks I should be putting a down payment on a matching set of Recaros

I drove mine in the Daffodil parades in Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner, and Orting with two educators of the year as my passengers. I was part of the Pierce County Mustang Club contingent and we had a great time, even if it was a little wet.

Thanks and yes, yes you did

Already looking into the next smaller pulley, the one I should've gotten from the get-go ... JDM is telling me the same tune with that smaller pulley will net me another 20 hp and 30 tq ... I want that

This is the pull that yielded the 560/456 numbers:

Just can't get enough of these tips. They're so well designed. I wish I could interchange tips when I felt like it though... Black SS then SS...

So, washed Marilyn today then polished her tips. I'm gonna have this be a regular event after every wash.

HA HAAAAAAA
I do the same with the daily driver, "big orange". After every other wash, I polish the exhaust tips. It's gets really bad, especially after the crappy winters.
