I am so surprised how much different it sounds front and back. Throttle response is so tight now. Short trip from here to stage 3. Pulley and boost a pump next.

I did a cheap but effective rear brake upgrade this weekend. I got the relocation brackets that allow me to run the 13.8" rotors from the 2013-14 GT500. The caliper relocation brackets cost me $80 used ($130 new on eBay) and the rotors cost me a total of $73 shipped from Rock Auto. So for ~$150, I got a better looking rear brake set up that gets rid of the tiny factory rotors in favor of ones a hair smaller than my front Brembo rotors, and there will be a slight improvement to my brakes thanks to the larger rotors and moving the calipers out farther.

Well that's easier than I thought. Saw that mod on vorshlag, cept they got the gt500 axle plate and had to pull the axle shafts out to change them. I thought man that would be cool, but after changing gear fluid 4 times in the past 6 months HECK NO!

Yeah that's what I loved about this is that all I needed were the brackets and the rotors. No other hassle involved. Here's a link to the brackets. http://www.ebay.com/itm/05-14-Mustang-14-Rear-Brake-Rotor-Adapter-Brackets-GT-Boss-302-GT500-V6-13-8-/151809891273?vxp=mtr I got lucky and got mine used and saved some money but even with buying the brackets new it's still a pretty budget-friendly mod, depending on what rear rotors you're wanting to run...

Added a little color under the hood. Nothing crazy, but I like the added color. Too many times I see where people go overboard adding color-matched bits under the hood and it just gets to be too much
