Got some new spark plugs for it.
NGK 6510's
What most boosted Coyote guys run, apparently.
Still have to install them, but at least they're in my possession, gapped to .028-.029, ready for install.

We're on a road trip and drove from Banff Alberta up to Jasper and then on to Valemount BC. Much of the way the speed limit is 90 kph (about 55 mph). During the first part of the drive before we started doing some serious climbing we were averaging over 37 mpg. When we got to Valemount it was still about 35 mpg.

Today I finally removed the driver side catch can since over the last 1,000 miles it's been bone dry.
Problem I had was that during the installation I had cut the original PCV tube that came with the blower kit, and obtaining another one's proven difficult.
So, I recently found the stock PCV tube from the passenger side of the engine, but it had a 90-degree connector at each end, and to make it work on the driver side I needed to remove one of those 90's and replace it with a straighter one, which I just happened to be using with the driver side catch can hose that went to the intake tube.
So after borrowing somebody's lighter (was doing this at a car show, lol), I used it to heat up the tubing so the 90-degree connector could be removed, and used it again to soften it up so I could insert the straighter connector, which still needed a bit of oil on it so it would go in without pinching the o-ring that's on it.
But I got it done, no more driver side catch can, and the connector that goes to the intake tube now goes in at a straighter angle so it fits better.
Old fitment was somewhat suspect, possibly causing a slight lean condition we recently noticed on the dyno.

She seems to be running a bunch smoother.
Lol, thanks Darren

Weather's been so crappy out, that I haven't driven her in almost 3 weeks. I took a few snap shots of her on the driveway before I drove her for 1/2 hour then tucked her away again since it's pouring out again.
She's coated with the final topper of Dodo Juice Supernatural.

I don't use wax at all, on any of my vehicles. Just top notch polish. But if I did do the wax, no question about it,.........DODO Juice for sure.

Mel=wife
Maria=Mustang?
We didn't get a picture together
Sometimes i just forget
I thoroughly enjoyed the drive there and back in my car today. Everything i have adjusted on my car up to now has paid off in huge smile dividends.
The beach as you can see was actually not very busy but it was HOT and muggy. a few teasing raindrops fell but i think most rain evaporated before reaching the ground. For now, our drought continues.
and here are a trio of young canadians...

Swapped front brakes to GT brakes. Looks a lot nicer with the 19" wheels, versus the stock brakes. Don't really notice any difference in stopping power. Also painted the calipers, rotor hats and brackets black, which also looks nice. Still need to paint the rears, though.
No pics, car is super dirty anyways. Had to go down a few dirt roads this weekend and it's been raining a ton so it looks like I went through a mud bog with it.

when you say GT brakes, do you mean the brembo packagae brakes?

Thanks Tony! No wax? Yeah polish plus glaze is usually the best "wet look", but not much protection. It essentially evaporates over time, even if you don't get it dirty in rain, etc... sun is brutal on it. You might want to consider still putting a sealant or wax on there, to protect it from harsh UVs. I know you don't drive yours in the rain and dirt like me, so you could still benefit.
