Lmao, I like you.


I felt a little residual heat in stock form without the A/C. I feel just a tad bit more now. For the life of me I don't know why.

why is that? [8D]

funny thing... when it's summer time, hot engine heat has no where to go but through the car. when it's spring, fall or winter the cool ambient air usually takes a lot of it.

"intense horsepower" from a stock Mustang? I love your enthusiasm. That's why.

lol! yeah it is pretty crazy how much power this thing makes... I can't believe it. I freaking school old ladies walking down the street all the time lol.

when i first bought it I was like holy SH** this thing is fast... then i got used to it. So now since it needs a rebuild I will mod it to get some more power out of it and get that feeling again.


I just think they cut down on some insulation to try to decrease weight and stuff
