10.5 compression + stock timing + (stock)boost = not 1 degree of KR!!! Still needs fine tuning but shes in a nice safe spot right now. SOO happy!

congrats on getting the car back on the road. looks sexy. will look really sexy with coilovers. you still got the front emblem? i think you should throw it on there and paint it back with the chrome lip to match your rims and emblems. i dont like that bare naked look of the front grill. just me though, not dissing or anything just a cool suggestion i thought
I actually have that emblem, black with the bottom part left crome, its in my glovebox lol.
looks really good,

Well it hasnt been fine tuned, right now shes just in a nice safe spot. So Im sure I can get a lil more power out of it once I put the wideband in this weekend and start tweaking the tune.
Its hard to compare the difference tho, for one I barely remember what she felt like to drive, its been over a year.. AND before she had the 2.7" pulley. Im running a stock pulley, and plan on it for awhile at the very least.
Havent installed my Cobra H/E yet either.
Thanks!
Only visual things would be when I get the motivation, im painting my other headlights black. The next big thing is coilovers. Also need to do something about venting the hood, havent 100% decided on exactly what/how tho.
Cant afford to drop it soon though. I spent a shitload to get it running again, lol. Everything in the car is brand new, most engine internals, tranny was tottally rebuilt, supercharger is brand new, etc...
The rest of my plans are cooling mods really, nothing visual.
May eventually install the Stainless Steel valves we have as well. No rush at all on that though, lol.
