no sale, new plans..

so today's sale was a no-go. poor guy came all the way down from up-state (about a 6 hour drive down, then another 6 back up) and wound up not taking the car.

guess the big turn-off about the car is the cam -- it really is too radical for the street, i think, and i can't blame someone for not liking it as i myself don't. you really have to be mindful of not letting it jerk/buck, and you have to stay above a certain rpm in order to do so. kinda pain to drive, especially w/ the dumps.

so, new plan:

- gonna put the tremec back in (swapped in a t5 to lower the price)
- going to swap cam's -- either a custom grind or a decent off-the-shelf cam that i won't lose *any* streetability with
- getting rid of the dumps -- going with over-axles and fake side exhaust tips
- sub frame connectors, *maybe* a k-member, upper/lower control arms, 03 Cobra a-arms

and if i decide to keep it and wait for the 2010 stang, i'd like to build a 331 and add some sort of forced-induction setup -- either put the turbo i've had for a while to use by piecing together a kit, or getting a vortech or procharger. not sure on the details yet, but the tremec and a new cam are going in for sure.

anyhow, i'm still formally apart of this forum for a while longer, so i figured i'd keep my 94-95 brethren informed.

thanks, Nick! i appreciate the positive attitude. i'm hoping the new cam will do exactly that, heh.

*Edit: new cam's in the garage, sitting along side the 3550, waiting to go in! TrickFlow Stage 1. hoping to gain plenty of streetability back with it.

i want an 05+

i'd love to keep this one forever as i've put too much work/time/money into it to get rid of it but if i want a new stang w/in the next year or so, it would have to go.

guess this was probably what i needed to push me into being even more patient, lol.

figure since now i have the funds to play more and a dd, the stang can stay down so i can do more of what i wanted to it -- turbo, perhaps?

thanks, Paul! i had considered something custom but this deal suddenly came up and i figured it was well-worth the cost.

94-95 or not, i'm sticking around here -- too many good people!
