Wow! Clean and a beast!

I'm impressed, and good luck with the tuning.

Beautiful engine bay... where did you mount your coolant overflow at?

That is a damn masterpiece!

And most parts houses are good for the warranty period. I recommend saving the receipt or scanning it even because they kind of jipped me on this last one. But, I've gotten like four free batteries so I can't complain too much.

At the point of 4 dead batteries I have to start asking you what you are doing to them?

When the optima gave out on my mustang, I went with an agm platinum from advance auto a couple years ago. When the battery died in my daily driver, I put it in because the mustang was apart. So far it has been great. I have a 1500 watt rms amp in the car powering a single sundown x12 sub with only a 105 amp alternator, so it gets taxed pretty hard.

That’s good to hear. That’s exactly what I’m going to grab today, the agm platinum from advanced

The car sits for long periods of time, and I sometimes forget to disconnect the battery/never put it on a tender.

New battery seemed to do the trick

Probably hard to tell, but beneath rpm tach to the left is MPH. I have their gps hooked up and it seems spot on from what I can tell so far

I just don’t know how well I trust a gps spedo to be accurate. Maybe I’m just being skeptical but I just feel like it’s one thing you should have a solid connection on.

“I’m sorry officer, my gps said o was only doing 48......”.

Sir, we clocked you at 84..........

Lol I hear ya. I’ve already gone 30/40/50 mph next to someone going same mph and it was within 1-2 mph of theirs so I’m not too worried about it. Plus who looks at speedo, just go with the flow of traffic [emoji6]

think of all the times our tires will be spinning now? Gps is great. I ran mine outside and the antenna is under the cowl in front of the windshield. I have not heard of any issues with gps speedos heck most of the time I see people using them they are on their phone checking their real speedo vs the gps accuracy..

Bro!....BRo!....BRO!!!! AHhh its beautiful and beautifully done. Thank you for your kind words my friend. I never noticed the smoothed inner fenders, and also the amount of powder coating that was done on the components was a very good taster. I can't wait to see some numbers, when are you taken her to the dyno? Tell me if you like my Graphite powder coated
Bullitt intake I did about 4-5 years ago. I did some good strategic porting on the Bullitt this year for this new setup I have going on.

haha thanks man. Yeah I did a ton of work with tucking the wires, scott rod inner fenders, and basically had everything you can powder coat powder coated. Going to be a little bit until it hits the dyno, but maybe later this summer. That bullitt manifold looks great! It's amazing what some color can do

Well brother you did a great job, I love seeing the everything smooth. Yes sir! The Graphite was the one color that popped in my mind. My car is black and a '97 just like yours, and I'm thinking of getting my wheels done in the same color to match. I have the '99 and up 17" pony's. I spent over a year to find a set of these wheels that were flawless, and end up running into a guy who had brand new take offs that he had still in the old boxes his cobra R's came in. Bottom line I got lucky. BTW which trick flows did you go with? 195 or 185's?

That would look badass matching the wheels to that color. I run 185 38cc. 195’s are only for big bore setups

I got home from work this morning at 7:30 am and managed to leave my lights on. Found this out at 3:30 pm. To my surprise, the advance auto platinum agm started the car right up.
