I guess the insurance for a small tanker weaving between ledges over the most fertile lobster grounds is quite high.

Trav, that sounds nice!!!

I dont, thats why Im not driving it until I can get it fixed or drive it just to get it fixed.

sounds sweet. basically the exact sound i would want in my mustang. love the sound of it on decel. any drone when cruising? reminds me of my cobra with slp LM2 catback.

No drone that I have noticed, the Magnapack is a straight through muffler so no chambers which usually do cause drone. Its go a very nice sound just when crusing.

recently I mentioned rolling the fenders and people being able to put 315's on a fox. This months issue of 5.0 covered that. SWEET! The rims they used are pretty decent too...http://www.ponyr.com/pic_set3.html.
Same issue had a Whipple upgrade for the GT500. All I can say about that is HOLY CRAP the increase in torque at LOW RPM.
On a sad note I have a funeral to go to on Wednesday. My wife's 91 year old aunt pasted away last night. Real sweet lady who was still driving up until just a couple of years ago.
On a lighter note anyone hear from Chris in a while?

sounds good hope you can make it.

Here is the delima I have now. Does anyone here think I will need to upgrade to bigger injectors after my mods are done? Its at 340 RWHP now and Its getting a Trick flow R intake and custom grind cam from Ed Curtis. I know these will up my HP but by how much Im not sure at this point or if it will be out of the relm of 24# injectors. There is a set of used 30# on Ebay now for a buy it now price of $125.

Do a search to find out the power potential of the 24s. I would think that they are fine. Not like you are adding 100 HP with the cam and intake.

I think Im going to upgrade to #36's just for the peice of mind factor. Id hate to get to the dyno for a tune and find out I need bigger inectors.

Going to try and have chris get me into the shop on friday to fix the faulty fuel injector.

#24 injectors are good for high 300s in a Blown application...so being N/A your 24s should be good to go up to nearly 400

why spend the money if you don't need to. That leak is probably from a torn O ring.

Its at 340 at the wheels now and almost 400 at the motor. With the addition of the new parts how close will #24's be to being maxed out? Thats the big question I dont want to go to the dyno and find out Im running out of injector to only need to go back and upgrade it all over agian when I could have done it the first time. The addition of the Trick Flow R intake, Custom Grind cam and Abaco DBX digital meter will probably gain me some good power, I'll probably be in the 360-380 RWHP range. I was at the same HP level in my GT w/ the Paxton (339 RWHP) and 30's were not enough, I had to go up to 42's

Blew out my O ring

Did some maintenance on the car this afternoon. Changed fuel filter, oil/filter, cleaned air filter...which was a complete glop of crap, surprised any air got in there at all, cleaned maf sensor, cleaned the inside of the rims, etc, etc....

Anyway, was in the VIP, and paid for stuff using a credit card. Which is new because of the Hannaford episode. The clerk noticed it was unsigned and pointed it out. So I asked if she wanted to see my ID. She said "no, but ..." etc etc
So I got back in my truck, wrote "ASK FOR ID" on the line, used it 3 times, and wasn't once asked for ID. Scary.

Yeah directly from the Abaco site . Thats the best part of the DBX Meter. Screw that tunning crap on your own. Much more worth it for me to just have it dyno tunned.
