Hi everyone! My name is Chris, and I'm a 2005 Mustang GT owner (since July 2014) with some minor bolt-ons.
I'm on this forum all the time (it's a great source of information), so I finally decided to sign up!
I look forward to discussing all Mustang related topics with you all!

Chris

Thank you sir! I do have major plans for it, although I think it will be a while before a pull the trigger on anything. When I got this car, the odometer read 257,xxx, but the car runs like a new car and has flawless interior, and a new paint job. When I tell people the miles, their jaws drop! With that being said, I'm still trying to figure out if this is the original motor, or if there's been a crate motor thrown into this thing. Until then, I'm afrId to add too many modifications! As of right now, I have a K&N CAI, Pypes O/R H-pipe, and a Borla Stinger Axle-back, currently running a 93 Bama tune! I'm loving it! But eventually is like to get some longtime headers and possibly a turbo, although I won't run much boost with this motor. Thanks for the welcome! Any advice is much appreciated!

I think before I'd start modding, I would do a compression and leakdown test to be sure it stil has some life le. Hate to see you get some mods done to her only to find outshes needs a new heart

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone! Yeah, I need to get a compression and leakdown test. I've tried finding out if it's the original motor, but I'm not seeing any way to do so. It's not mentioned anywhere in the carfax, so I'm thinking it is. It blows my mind how strong it still runs. I'm at 274,xxx now and no problems at all!

Thanks again everyone! I love chatting about cars so you'll see me around.
