As long as I stay under 3900 rpm and not kick in the large turbo and second set of injectors, it shouldn't be too bad.
I am really looking forward to finding out though.

I found another way to get good gas mileage with my SS. I agreed to buy an '06 from another member so I should soon be back to driving an SS/SC.
Thanks Matty.
The mileage will be much better than my 6L '01 Silverado and a tad better than the RWD SS when it's done.
I had wanted the SS/TC but those aren't coming to Canada anytime soon.

She doesn't like the Mustang. It is too fast and too loud.

That header looks sweet.
I like the gauges too, I am going to do that with my other SS/SC.
Do your steering wheel controls still work on the stereo???

These will give you the idea of how she will ride once she is back on the road.
Also, contrary to previously mentioned, the rear quarters have not been widened, they were adjusted simply to allow the huge slicks get in and out.











back on the road? I think you mean, track, lol.

Ok let me rephrase that, before she is back on the road and track ready.
Remember, part of the delay is because I insist this car handle well on tight corners, with some prior adjusting of course.

Well Paul, if you missed those pics, you likely missed where I bought Matty's SS/SC for my daily driver.

no but there is an add on for this stereo that lets you plug into the factory harness and sends a blue tooth wireless signal to the stereo and controlls it that way.

Thanks for the comments on the header i like it. car pulls a bit better now from a 40-45 mph roll. dont notice much from a stop but once the car has traveld about 40 or 50 feet i feel the difference. Still cant beat a manual SS/NA, but i can beat an automatic SS/NA

I look forward to hearing good things when you have it all tuned in.

I love the ways she looks too.
I hope Matty's car helps with the waiting, by distracting me some of the time with the wicked tune that I hear is in it.

Well yes, in about 6.5 days.

And I am almost as excited about getting it as I am about my project.
Of course I can actually reach out and touch your/my car.

Yeah I did hear that his tune was pretty wicked. Spins even sticker and wider than stock tires all the way through second gear on warm dry pavement, pulls hard all the way to redline, and still gets 40mpg on the highway! That must be one badass tune. Hopefully it will get you by for now though.
