Looks really good. You have great taste...I too have a magnetic GTPP and blacked out all the emblems. Very good camera as well!

You were my Black-Emblem inspiration man. Now I just need to save for FF15's

Right on brother!

It will be worth the save by the way.

Honestly I'd love HRE's RS103 but that's never going to happen.

Beautiful car mate! What else do you have planned besides the wheels you mentioned?

Beautiful car mate! What else do you have planned besides the wheels you mentioned?

I have a JLT intake & SCTx4 tuner sitting in the garage already but I thought it would be a good idea to but 1000 or 2000 miles on the car before tuning.

I also really want to Drag the car some with my Dad & his Supercharged 97' t-bird. The consensus seams to be that stronger axles are required for drag racing.

This summer:
JLT intake & tune
DSS 800hp axles
BMR rear cradle bushings maybe more IRS support
drag radials on some smaller wheels

Next year:
20" HRE FF15 wheels & Pilot SS tires

2018:
Procharger

Looks good! I'm around the Clawson/Royal Oak area a lot so I'm sure we will see each other around.

where did you get the matte black emblems from, or did you re colour them yourself?

Just did some under-hood work.

- Removed the plastic 5.0 cover. I like the motor better without it
- swapped in the blue Ford Racing Coil-Covers
- UPR Catch Can (PLUG N PLAY SC Seperator + matching breather hose)

Just installed:
- JLT intake
- SCTx4 tuner
- 93 oct custom tune by Brent Hughes at DTP Racing.

I actually had a pretty hard time with one aspect of the install. With this new intake there's an airbox/shroud and a fresh-air-inlet that connects the bumper-inlet to the shroud. I had a very difficult time getting the fresh-air-inlet mated to the bumper-inlet.

I even needed to file some material away on the lower inside lip of the fresh-air-inlet:

I found that it was easier to install the fresh-air-inlet first (tapped into place with a light mallet) before installing the shroud . In JLT's instructions you put them in together, then slide the fresh-air-inlet forward to mate with the bumper. I could not get it to work that way.

But it did all come together:

Tune loading

Car runs great. Very strong. There are a few little "intake sounds" that are new. They are hardly noticeable though. It might be due to my louder than stock exhaust but I consider this a quiet intake. CAI's I've installed on other cars made a MUCH bigger difference to the sound of driving the car.
