[eleetryder]

Nice, how much did all that cost?

 

[mustanghurt]

believe it or not a little under 3k

 

[wickedstangs]

wow that is a nice list...

 

[1WKDRSH]

that's a good start! Remember to post before and after pics.

 

[mustanghurt]

no problem pics will definitely follow throughout the build.

hopefully based on the timing ill be able to get it done before christmas.

BBK 70mm Throttle Body and a Spacer is what my wife is looking at now. being a v6 and with every thing else you think its worth it.

 

[sdsubzero4]

Will you be getting new wheels and tires?

 

[blackstallion06]

I would say buy some gears for both

 

[mustanghurt]

yeah were looking into finding a good nice looking set of used wheels and then wrap them in some good rubber.

 

[mustanghurt]

gears will come in time but were mostly trying to stick to the bolt ons right now for simplicity cause our availability to get to resources to do something like that isnt very strong right now

 

[sdsubzero4]

go to craiglist, there's some nice ones up there lately for a good price, too.

 

[mustanghurt]

yeah weve been chasing craigslist but were both looking for certain sets at certain prices were in no rush though. its funny cause she has had her car for almost 4 years now and has never changed anything in it but the fluids, i got my mustang on last monday and now that im startin mine she wants to go crazy on hers.....she just decided she wants the throttlebody and spacer so she just ordered them lol.

 

[sdsubzero4]

yep, that's how it get started. The mod fever is very contagious. LOL!

 

[mustanghurt]

recommendations for dynos i want to do a before and after on our vehicles just to see what it really bumps up to.

 

[sdsubzero4]

there's JBA on convoy, DynoShop in Santee, and if you don't mind the drive, some go to RET (Racers Edge Tuning) in Downey

 

[mustanghurt]

ive heard about RET, im willing to make the drive as long as theyre open on weekends.
i hear they are cheap and have a very good dyno

 

[sdsubzero4]

They do. I heard the same thing. But talking to some of the guys, they said need to make a reservation. I know 1Wkdrsh goes up there, you might want to talk to him and get details. I think yosemiddysam goes there, too. Not sure though. There's a few others just can't remember who at this time.

 

[mustanghurt]

yeah i work in the same squadron as yosemiddysam and he was tellin me about them. ill have to look into the reservations bit though. but definitely thanks for the info

 

[sdsubzero4]

anytime.

 

[yosemiddysam]

I did too tell you about RET. I said that is where I get my car TUNED at. But he is not cheap at 400 bucks per trip. Plus I dont think he can tune the SLR chip. He mainly does SCT.
