You have no idea how much I'm itching to drive it, been driving my pos 1998/4 banger dodge stratus (complete with peeling clearcoat) for the last 6 months. I'm ready for more powahhh

In other news, I tracked down the right person to reprogram my gauge cluster to work with this gauge overlay...

I bet you are. I've been sitting overseas for a few months now and I can't tell what I want to come home to more, the Mustang or my girlfriend.

Unfortunately I won't be back in time for the spring Mile, so I won't be able to see you in action. Keep it up, can't wait to see the pictures of how she does.

They cancelled the spring mile (which would have been this weekend), the next one is in October... you can bet I'll be there. Gotta try to peg the speedo.

Just got a vid of the first startup after the built motor swap.

I pick it up Friday to start on the break-in miles.

HAHA. that wasn't my badge, I was and still am thinking about creating a custom badge loosly based on the ford flex-fuel and ecoboost badges.

It would have been less hassle having the turbos mounted up front/top, but I like this because it looks more OEM style and is slightly more stealthy and could get overlooked at first glance.

Science isn't about *why* - it's about *why not*. Why not *marry* safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because *you are fired!*
