Well, I officially topped 500 miles on the new combo tonight. It fired up on 5-31-07 and here it is less than 2 weeks later and I've hit the 500 mile mark. I took the car for a ride tonight to put some miles on it and I took my camera along for the ride. Here's a few pics, I'm liking my hood and front bumper more and more now. Now that I have the initial 500 break-in miles on it, I can start making some full throttle runs. I need to get some tail pipes put on the car and then hit the dyno to check the AF ratio. I bumped the fuel pressure by 4lbs when I put this combo together, but I don't know if its enough yet or not... time will tell.

















And here's a pic from a local show/cruise in that I attended with Troy (Yeahloh95) on sunday. And yes, that is a Simpson car seat in the back seat of my car in this pic. Much to my delight and surprise, my daughter likes riding in the mustang!

Looking great as always. Love how much better the lines flow now with the new hood and bumper.

Yeah, I was wondering the same as Dan. I'm not sure if I missed it or not but I though you were going to try a different IAC as see it that helped.

BTW- Those pictures are beautiful, the colors really pop. Car doesn't look too bad either. lol

The car is looking great.
It's got to be tough driving around without going full throttle to see how it feels.

Paul,

Put a lap belt in teh center of the back seat so you can put the car seat between the front seats. this lets you have three people comfortably... I bolted mine to the factory lower mounts.

Looks great though...

Paul...... I guess you have been doing some driving, as I remember you only had a handful of miles when we were out at carlisle. The car is looking good with the new hood and bumper.

I wanted to ask you if you have had any problems w/ oil in the intake w/ the new Holley?
I need to do some playing around w/ mine cause im getting a tiny bit of oil in the intake track. Most likely cause of the no baffle in my valve cover, but that will be taken care of this week.

So I guess we will see you make some passes at Epping? Im curious as to what the new set up will do.

You waited too long to start beating on it
