PS. @ 808muscle - that thing sounds sick with the 4:10s and auto tranny!!!! Love it!

Yes this "kid" is for real, all 48 years old of me. Just wanted to hear opinions on SC sound. I've never driven a car with the mod and love the sound of my Stang with a tune and CAI.

This auto trans always feels like it lugs when it hits fourth gear. First through third pull so hard, then when it hits fourth.....its not as aggressive.

Did you notice at the begining after the burnout I say " in drive, off off"? I have a note on the console to remind me to put the car in D after doing the burnout in 2nd, then make sure that TC is off and O/D is off. I like a check list!

I think mine is somewhere around 3500 rpm and it stays there while slowly pulling. Once it gets up to 5k rpm it pulls like a raped ape til 135mph.. before then, it's yawn city rofl

cool tidbit about the note.. I always do the same

I know what will happen when I finally get my M90 installed. I'll take the girlfriend for a hair raising spin spooling up the M90 and she'll ask...."whats wrong with the car and that loud noise" LOL!
