Default This Morning...

We have this really awesome cool front come through Louisiana so it was 59 degrees this morning. On the way to work I got aggrivated (stupid people driving in the left lane, alongside 18-wheelers, refusing to pass) so I downshifted into third at around 55 and punched it to pass the 18-wheeler on the right. (yes, i know... crazy...) I got a nice long chirp from the right rear tire... I was impressed...

Sure, send me your address and I'll box it all up and send it right out... [sm=forgetit.gif]

Everyone talks about what a huge difference gears make... I guess I should try them next... With all the low end torque I wonder which ratio I should choose...?

I might talk a lot and give advise about some things, but I'm really new to the Mustang scene. I've had mine almost a year now and it's my first 'stang. I love my car and I plan on keeping it a long time... just because it's MINE.... [sm=smiley27.gif]

I've been thinking 3..73's...

I don't personally know how much more TQ K.B. makes than the stock Eaton on the 03-04's, but the stock 3:55's I have are fine for me.
