I guess this post will be my "de-flowering". I'm the lone St. Louis boy with enough balls to make it to MSC.... twice...

On with the list (in order mods were done btw...)

-amazon CAI
-magnaflow caback (trying to keep the warranty)
-steeda tri-ax
-UPR quadrant/firewall adjuster
-MM full length SFC's (still maintaining)
-H&R SS springs
-MM IRS bushings (struggling to hold that warranty)
-speed of sound custom guage pod w/ autometer boost and fuel pressure
-BBS RK Plasma 18's
-MRT O/R H pipe w/ MIL eliminators (reaching....)

25K miles later, and after fixing a coolant puking issue on my own after giving Ford 5 attempts, I'm finally saying "F" the warranty

Billetflow non-slip 2.93 with all idlers and predator tune from RWTD goin' on this weekend... :headbang:

Andy what brand of Dual A-pillar is yours? I like the way it fit. I believe that yours and Lyles were the same too. Do you know where I can get it? Im in the middle of buying some gauges :D

Hank, don't know if you know about these or not... Guy just got them done. The pillar itelf it an actual ford piece and he adapts his pods into it. Nice piece, the texture of the pods matches the stock texture perfectly as does the shade. A little more $$$ but, looks really good...Speed of Sound Guage Pod

And a quick pic...

Yes, a TB is worth it. You will need one with an aftermarket blower, and it works well on a pullied eaton. The options are the Amazon stock ported TB and plenum, the Accufab TB and plenum, or the BilletFlow...
