No fumes for me. And I love the sound. So thats all that matters.

PapaSmurf · April 10th, 2008, 05:03 AM

I cant wait so see everything installed and the new track times once you get the chance to run it. What brand k-member, a-arms and coilovers are you going with?

94pacecarSVT · April 10th, 2008, 08:44 AM

damn sounds like a badass setup. and i agree with you on the dumps. not many people have dumps and the sound if different so you dont get that "all mustangs sound the same" crap. good luck with the build man. and what made you decide to go with 3.90's?

futureMACH1racer · April 10th, 2008, 04:19 PM

Doc, I had a Tri Ax, I swapped in an MGW it's so much better. Also have fun with the K member. I did mine a while ago. While you do that I'm saving up for the flywheel, cams, heads & intake p&p, Nittos, wide seats, and just maybe some spray, we'll see after I get alll of that done.

Probably Houston Performance.

As for K-member Its either going to be a full GMS setup with coilovers or a full UPR setup with coilovers.

And yes I work for Clorox. I am waiting on my bonus check.

I seen those GMS pieces they're pretty fair in price, are their products pretty good. I haven't much heard of them, and I really wish I had. I bought alot of stuff from Steeda, and Maxium Motorsports, and their products are top dollar.

That's cool that you work for Clorox, I use Colorsafe Bleach. Now everytime I do laundry, I'm going think, Doc not only helps with with my car, he also helps me clean my dirty underwear as well.

No, not me. Clorox owns Glad, you know the trash bag people? I work for Glad. So next time you throw away something you can think of me. and my 60k a year salary for making trash bags
