I finally got my battery box done. I had to get some welding cable yesterday so I could run a ground all the way to the engine. I will say that welding cable is the way to go. The cable has lots and lots of small diameter wire in it and that allows it to be more flexable than standard battery cables. That 1 gauge wire should keep the power flowing.
My coil is on its way to MSD. It is supposed to be covered by warranty so hopefully I will have a new one in a few weeks. For now the stock coil is hooked up.
My car has been sitting on jack stands for well over a week while I have been trying to get this stuff done. Last week I decided to bleed my brakes and flush out the old nasty crap that was in the system.
I also finished my hood locks today. Damn I have been busy with the stang the last couple of weekends and I haven't even driven it any where.
I really haven't had any time to go on line and do any post whoring

Whos up for another dyno trip
just got off the phone w/ chris and he said he'll be ready for another trip to the dyno by the end of the month, either the 30th or the 31st. I'll be ready to go back by then b/c were doing my 3.55 gears on weds and Im ordering my power pipe this week. I wont have the exhaust done but that can wait. I have that weekend off so Im going anyway. I Need more dyno time and I need it tuned w/ the FMU off. Theres alot more untapped power that I have it just needs some more tweeking.

no. they gave me a ground wire that was less than 2 feet long. I had to attach that to one of the bolts that go through the floor to make it work. I just felt it was better insurance to run a cable straight to the motor like originally intened by Ford. I want to make sure I don't have any electrical gremlins like many others have run into after relocating the battery. I also ran a 4 gauge wire from the battery post to the bolt holding the box to the floor. THen I took some more 4 gauge and attached it to the same bolt that sticks up through the lid and ran the other end of that wire over to my shock mount. Its good to be well grounded.Dan_Soprano said:
I want to make sure that I have plenty of contact and low resistance. A little over engineering doesn't hurt.
That 1 gauge is gonna make sure that there is plenty of current flow.
