Dan, thank you, your company has been awesome in every order that I have made so far. Believe I surpassed the $1K mark with American Muscle when I got the SCT tuner. You will continue to see me as a costumer in the future.

Old Mustanger,
I was planning on purchasing the wheels through American Muscle as you said. I really like the FR500 wheels that are black with the polished lip. Think I might as well get the Nitto tire combo since while I'm at it. I'm unsure if I was the staggered wheels or not. I like the idea of being able to rotate the tires front-to-back if I got 18x9s all around, but I have plenty of time to decide I guess.

The running issues were entirely from a bad wiring job on the O2 sensor. It was causing a fuse to blow and the EGR was going nuts, etc. The car runs strong now and has no engine lights or hiccups.

I paid $5900 out the door for the car. It did have a few other small issues that I forgot to mention in the original post though. Needed a new rack and pinion, and pinion seal for the rear diff case. By the time all that was done I probably had $6750 invested in the car to get it on the road, but still that isn't bad for the year and miles.

Shae04GT, my dash lights stay lit up on both the park light and head light setting. I would check your wiring. I used the frame rail at the back of the little opening in the dash behind the cluster as a ground. Took some sand paper and cleaned up the area, then crimped a small loop end onto it so I could use a sheet metal screw to secure it. I also cut off the dimmer that the aftermarket dash insert came with and wired the positive and negative together, then cut the blue and white wire from my headlight switch and tapped into that. That way I can control the dash lights with the same **** as the other lights. I hope that helps, if needed I can elaborate more and maybe get some pictures.

Anyway, I got my Redline parts installed. They look pretty good! I'm very pleased with the quality. They do require a bit of finesse to install though. I waited until I was home one weekend to get some help from my father, who worked in the upholstery trade for some time.

And finally, I ordered a JVC digital media receiver head unit this weekend. Got tired of CDs. The Mach audio system isn't my favorite, but it will do for now. I'm just looking forward to being able to stream audio from my Andriod.

I want new tires and wheels and a set of cams for this thing so bad I can't stand it. It'll probably be a few months though sadly.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good set of cams? I read that the MHS nitrious cams are popular...

Incredible transformation! I see you have a ton of work in your GT. It's really cool that you took before/after picks on each step. Great work!

Cams- If you're looking to stay naturally aspirated we have a few good options. We've sold a ton of Comp Cams Stage II XE270AH Camshafts and had awesome feedback. Check out some of the customer reviews on that link. Comp Cams give a killer growl and will make you fall in love with your exhaust!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Shane
