I had a 4-point bolt-in installed in my Convertible. Not a Watson though. I know the installer had to do a small amount of cutting, but I can't see it. Looks great. I wouldn't have bothered, but the local drag strip won't let me race without one...

For me, it's every bit as bad as cars back in the 60's. Better to have some kind of smell indication that Carbon Monoxide is present than not, I think...

Long tubes, no cats, no resonator box and stock mufflers. Still loud though. I start her up with the garage door closed, until she settles down a little. I'm thinking of replacing the stock mufflers with a variable setup...

That's what I did when I changed injectors last. Plus, I used a slightly longer bolt. MUCH easier to install. Well, nothing is easy about those fuel rails, but slotting the bolt holes makes it considerably less difficult. I also didn't use the fuel rail clips. I have a set of ID1050x...

I was expecting a little more too. Lund says the bigger TB would come into its own with more boost and E85. ID1050x should be here by Friday. Dual pump return style fuel system, after that. No hurry on my end. I need a better rear tire/wheel combo more than anything else right now. I'm going...

Got her on the dyno with the Soler 103mm Throttle Body. 701 rwhp / 585 rwtq. Dyno guys said the logs showed air/fuel as rich as 8 at one point. Sending those logs to Lund today. Ran her at the track last Sunday. 11.4/124 was my best run. No traction. I used Nitto NT05R drag radials in a...

I've had mine up to 165 and she was still pulling a little. I don't know what gear or rpm. I was too focused on keeping her between the white lines. Lol...

Well, of course, my original tune with Lund and my Stage-1 kit has changed several times. Adding Long Tubes with no cats or resonators required a tune update. Adding the Predator injectors and a BAP required a tune update. Adding the 87mm Bullitt TB and PMAS 120mm CAI required another tune...

No doubt. Lol. For 10r80/3.55 guys, I think that 4th tops out at 94mph and 5th at 109mph. Not too bad on a remote safe stretch of asphalt. Approximately 13% faster for 10r80/3.15 guys...

That's still not too fast for a 10r80 and 3.55 rear gears. Now, if it was a 6r80 and 3.15 gears, that would absolutely be crazy fast. I was watching the tachometer and didn't pay any attention to the speedometer. I will say this. She got to 7,500 rpm in one damned hurry. Lol...

Datalogged a couple of WOT pulls, one in 4th and the other in 5th. Lund said there was no change needed in the tune. She feels like she's definitely pulling harder from 6,500 rpm to 7,500 rpm. Dyno is scheduled for next Tuesday morning, Moutain Time. I'll have the results posted by the...

Yep, that's it. 87 to 103. Fit like a glove. No more high-heat double-sided tape around the TB opening to help the CAI fit properly. I know that, in one of the pics below, the Soler bolt pattern adapter says 95mm to 80mm, but it was ported by Soler to take full advantage of the 103. So...

Got the Soler 103mm Throttle Body installed this evening. It's huge, but clears the hood and leaves plenty of room for the PMAS 120mm CAI. Drove it around gently for about an hour of mixed stop-and-go/highway cruising. No WOT. Good street manners. Lund wants a WOT pull datalog in 4th or 5th...

Transmission and water pump/thermostat, so far. They even accommodated me with the tune. I had an aftermarket tune and they needed to flash an updated stock tune for the transmission repair. My tuner said that the stock tune would be OK for starting and idling. So, they flashed to the new stock...

With all of my mods listed in my sig, my local dealer has covered every OEM warranty issue and every ESP warranty issue. Their GT500/GT350 tech is the only tech that works on my car there. He has a honking big Kenne-Bell blower on his personal Mustang. Plus, he likes wrenching on my car...

I got mine from Steeda. It's an Autopower Safety Equipment brand. They just list that particular model as 2015 and up Mustangs. I got the street version, but I would get the Street Sport version, if I were doing it again. I think that the Street Sport version has both a removable horizontal...

Bolt-in. I had it done professionally, instead of risking screwing it up myself. All the other mods I did with my wife. Her smaller hands could better attach the fuel rails and port injectors. I have sausage fingers. Plus, the local drag strip won't let convertibles that run under 13.5 on...

I'm a ragtop guy all day. I bought a loaded Race Red '18 GT 10r80 and made it special with some mods. Edelbrock supercharger for 700 rwhp, some rear suspension mods to stop wheel hop, jacking rails and frame bracing to lessen body flexing on uneven roads and a 4-point roll bar for safety and...

I have kept the pill installed. She's still touchy as hell on the street. The Edelbrock nitrous jet is .015. I'm thinking of going down to .010, after I finish the Soler 103 project. And yes, the bigger open element CAI increases your ability to more clearly notice the blower whine. As for...
