Man that car is awesome but I have to be honest, putting those old style wheels on that car - not so nice. Those old bullitt style wheels are tired. Nice work on the mechanical upgrades.

carp out on you one day (hopefully within the warranty
period).
What it should have come with from the factory was a tranny
capable of handling a few minor HP mods like Ford knows owners
will be doing (the aftermarket world for S197s is off the charts).
Ok....

That sounds SWEET! Could you get one of a driveby or some deceleration? Only thing keeping me away from pipes is the popping. These sound like butter though.
