Performance Package vs Non Performance Package!!!!!!!!

[MatthewAMEL]

Nicely done and documented. I had a D1-SC on my 2000 SS. It was a great kit.

Would you mind posting where you purchased your kit?

Thank you.

I bought it from American Muscle using the forum discount. Strangely, they are no longer advertising the H.O. kit on the website. I'm only seeing the Stage II kit.

PCV System

Wanted to clean up the look of the PCV system so I picked up some snap fittings from the dealer.



Before:



Passenger side is especially "erect":




Driver's side:


After:










I think it looks cleaner and has more of a factory look.

Looks much better.

Very nice build, are you going to use this car as a daily driver?

Yes. I drive it daily and love it. I bought a Mustang to DRIVE.

Doin that custom tune thing...

Got some new toys:





It's just a matter of time until the exhaust system will be upgraded, figured I might as well invest in a nice tuning device to prepare for future mods. The nGAUGE seems to be a pretty popular handheld device so I got in touch with Beefcake.

Beefcake recommended the ID1000 fuel injectors to open up the capability of the tune and so as to not limit myself with the custom Lund tune that will follow.

In addition, I haven't been especially impressed with the user interface and speed of the Diablo inTune during datalogging. I'm anxious to see what this nGAUGE is all about.

I'll try to get the injectors installed later this week. I am planning to go to the track Wednesday (tomorrow) so the car wouldn't be up and running in time considering the remote tune process.

Updates to follow.

Thanks Beefcake!

Also decided to go ahead and replace the Chrome emblems for the UPR matte black ones:

Redline Hood Struts

If you spend any amount of time under the hood, these hood struts are a great investment. Look amazing and very functional. Easy install to boot.

Custom Lund Racing Tune

Got the car remote tune by Lund Racing.

Beefcake hooked me up with a great deal on the tune, nGauge and some ID1000 injectors.

Picked up quite a bit of power per the seat of the pants gauge, especially in the lower RPM range. Lund is a magician.

Put her on the dyno and this is where she's at:

Have you noticed any changes in your fuel economy yet?

From the springs? Not really, haven't drive it enough to know though. Plus, with the Procharger on board... fuel economy is down cuz I can't resist hitting boost.

One of my faves:


Tossed her up on the ramps tonight. New exhaust is on order! Should be here Monday with install to follow. It GOES like a Mustang should and soon it'll SOUND like one.

I know I'm in the minority but I like the stock ride height on these cars (unlike other late model Mustangs) especially with the stock wheels.

Your car is all kinds of awesome though.
