MSP said:Thnaks for the most kind words NJStangPilot!! I'm debating my options in regards to the engine dept. I think its just too soon to expect alot of aftermarktet upgrades.. I think more time will need to be given to discover the 4.0's potential.. We will have to wait and see..

LOL!! Yes, the Dyno's are expensive.. I think the GTech may be in my short term future..
Between you and I, I have placed an order for a 2006 GT.. LOL!! Lets see what happens... If you understand my post in regards to $30,000 dollar engine build quotes, then you can see, just buying a GT is a bargin.. Give me 10 weeks, for round 2..
Jimp said:So basically you've taken my advice. You've come to realize that I wasn't an "idiot" after all and I knew a little bit about what I was talking about and that I really was looking to help you. I'll accept your apology whenever you're ready to give it.
MSP said:LOL!! Ok Jimp!! I apologize.. Only because I realize that you were not really trying to insult me..
But on that note.. Check this out.. I went back to the shop, I told them I wanted them to build me a motor and install it.. I was going to put down $7500 up front.. Then pay the other $7500 when the job was done.. I spent 3 hours trying to get this done.. They would not do it.. They said it would take $30,000 to pull it off.. I personally didnt understand.. Basically, a GT is cheaper.. So when I left, I will admit that I did think about you!.. LOL!! Damn, the irony.. Oh well..
In regards to the GT, I went down to get a GT the other day.. They have stopped making 05 GT's and are getting ready to ramp up on the 06's.. So I placed my order for a Windviel Bule one.. Right now, the wifes not happy about it, and it looks like I may have to cancel the order next week.. We'll see.. I am just so fed up man, I might just say screw it, and eventually get the 4.0 where I want it.. This has been a roller coaster for me, and I am tired of thinking about it.. Now, its either wait for the 06 GT in October, or buy a $36,000 dollar Roush today.. I'm not into buying a Mustang for $36 Grand unless it says Cobra on the side with GT500 on the SideSkirts.. LOL!!
Let this be a lesson to you all.. When you go buy your Mustang, dont buy it based on the feeling you have at the moment.. Think of how you will feel 1 yr from now..
My options are as follows.. Wait for the 06GT, in October, or just enjoy my 4.0 Eleanor.. For the sake of my own peace of mind and my wifes, I may just get the Eleanor kit, and be happy..
Dont get me wrong guys.. I love the way the V6 pulls.. Like I said, it pulls hard.. The Dyno really did traumatize me I guess.. LOL!! Reality bites I guess.. I am healing though.. Its a slow process.. LOL!
Jimp said:I don't know if you have one yet but I would recommend that you get an SCT-2. Trust me on this one, it makes a big difference in the way the car behaves. I think you'd be pretty happy with the car then. Try to stop worrying about dyno tests and what car you can beat because like I said, there will always be someone faster. I hope we're cool again because I really don't want any bad blood between us.I love your enthusiasm! Just don't let it consume you!
