What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[ahl395]

Were the items delivered, and were they installed?

New bumper came, paint doesn't match perfectly... Shade is a little lighter and it has alot less metal flake. So I think it's getting returned. Learned my lesson trying to get something aftermarket and cheaper.

I'll probably get one unpainted from Ford and have the same body shop paint it thats going to repair and repaint my fender and assured it would match factory paint.

Well...instead of loading up the 87-89 PRX tune...I instead installed my GT upper and lower grills with customcargrill mesh. Will take photos and upload tomorrow...too tiered to do it at the moment.

Put on a Boomba manifold intake spacer and newly painted engine cover. I am buying the NGK plugs and will install those once they come. I'm a little disappointed that the cover doesn't sit flush anymore, but once I get everything in and put the strut tower back on, it'll grow on me.

What does an intake manifold spacer do for it?

 

[6g Smoke Show]

Suppose to increase the air volume in the manifold which will help eliminate turbo lag. Their website list all of the advantages. Using their dyno numbers Boomba shows there is a HP/Tq increase.

Wow. Makes ya wonder why Ford does not make them this way...

Steroid injection via Tune @ 500 miles. .

Ordered my carbon black one a day or so ago...looking forward to receiving it.

In other news, sent MPT a data-log of my 91PRX tune for revisions. The car is running rich based on an average lambse number of 0.8532 over a 3rd gear pull from 2k to 6.5k RPM.

Anyone here who knows anything about tuning and wants to look at my data-log...PM me. I am curious as to what other refinements could be used.

I think I will switch tunes tonight and upload the 87-89 PRX tune I received...just to see if there is any real difference.

.85 lambda is where you want to be

Because it is snake oil

Because of the ebay sale today, I ordered a new set of louvers based on [MENTION=27640]bjstang[/MENTION]'s install and looking forward to getting those sometime next week. Probably get them painted and installed within the next two weeks, hopefully it looks as good in person

Got my 275 Firestone Indy 500s installed to replace the crappy stock P-Zeros. I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!

.85 lambda is where you want to be

Then based on the entire dataset, I believe there is is some refinement that can be done. Min lambda point was 0.7663 at 3,245.75 RPM and Max lambda point was 1.046 at 2,217 RPM.

As stated before, average lambda recorded over the entire pull from 1,980 ti 6,559.5 RPM was 0.8530.

Installed MMD side radiator cover extensions

Added some Mustang bling to the tool chest. Does that count? LOL

 

[Bull Run]

That's because I can afford to pay the right people to do the job. Stfu you have no clue what I can or can not do.

Actually, nice tools are pretty expensive, not to mention extra garage/shop space required to store them, parts, and the car itself.

I'm not into purely looks mods myself but I wouldn't rag on them because I understand that personal tastes differ.
