2012 summer mods list?
What's up fella's?
It's been awhile since I posted over here. Just busy working my tail off and getting ready for summer.
I miss my 2008 Mustang GT/Vortech supercharged VERY much, but the AWD 5.7 Hemi was AMAZING during this past winter (130+ inches of snow!
)
Just checking in to see what the forum guys are up to this summer. I remember speaking with some of you getting your supercharger kits tuned, getting more mods, cams etc. Just curious of how everyones been doing
Me?
Getting ready for a 3200 high stall torque converter, cold air intake and dual 3inch cut outs. NO tuners as of yet, and a wiring harness/PCM swap is about $3500!
Not looking to run 12's or anything for now, but my sights are on a 13.0@105mph.. pretty quick for a 4500lbs. tank! lulz

Welcome back!
Mods are done on my Stang for a while since...well...there's really not much else to do besides a motor build.
I'm working on some mods for my Contour SVT baby-transporting DD in the meantime, though. MSDS CAI (going in this week) and full exhaust (with MSDS headers), a 75 shot of giggle juice and a VMP 93 tune. No **** lol. And why?...just because I want my dirt cheap DD to be fun.
However: my baby boy is almost 3 weeks old, I transfer back to Norfolk in a month and a half, have 38 days of leave before school for 3 weeks out in San Dog...then I check aboard ship 3 days after school just in time to deploy. Back around this time next year!
Let's see if I can knock out these mods!

Sounds like a very busy schedule.. sheesh.. a year is a long time from home! More money for mods when you get back though! lol
Did u have a stall on ur stang? If u didn't u will love what it will do to your car. Are there many shops that tune for the charger. Hopefully there is. As for me and the stang. I just bought some koni adjustables and camber plates. Strano sold out of the rears so I'm waiting on those but no biggie

No serious plans as of yet except for minor bolt on's for the Charger though
The snow this last past was HORRIBLE. We still have 18 ft. snow mountains in the work parking lot if that means anything
right now it's all melting.. that means rivers in our neighborhoods!

No sales tax, 20 hours of sun during the summer, free money yearly (PFD!), great air/water, wilderness, no Emissions as of this March, and great economy!...
You just have to survive the long, horrid, ugly, nasty winters up here as well as avoiding "cabin fever"... it's all good after that

Summer is the time for the most important mod....The driver mod! Not interested in having the car down during the driving months. Second most important mod is the fund mod. There is a special account set up just for go fast goodies. This past winter was just storage, but come December we'll be installing a built motor, custom twin turbo, suspension, wheels, tires etc. Will be a three month project and next March will roll out a completely new beast.

Chin spoiler, GT/CS rear bumper, CAI and tune, short shifter and clutch, Eleanor quarter window scoops, side scoops, purple stripes and accents
Whether or not I'll make enough money to do all of that - is up in the air haha. I'm also pinching pennies to save for a flight in the only airworthy B-29 Superfortress

Respectable, I've seen it a few air shows now. Your car may last longer than that thing, go for the flight!
