Well here we go

Tomorrow its a 7 hr round trip drive to a gun show... naturally.

So I think its going to be okay everything was 4x4 on the 3 test runs I gave it.

The only issue is the the rearend. I have a .63 overdrive that means ill be draggin a bit at 80mph at only 2000 rpm. naturally it doesnt kick as hard out of the hole as I expected it would. its about equal with my c4 on launch.

Soooo you guessed it 3.80:1s coming to a mustang near me.

[align=left]Excellent! Thanks for the offer but I can't think of anything I need. Isn't it great being a dealer? You get all the goodies at wholesale!!

No ammo or guns for sale at the show but i did get:

Some cool led flashlights

2 crimsion red dot grips for my m1991a1 govt. and one for an Spring XD 9mm-.40cal these are sweet real compact and very well made and totally adjustable

200 otis cleaning patches and 4oz of cleaning solvent

100 upper torso and head silloute targets.

2 tacticl slings that are really nice allow for font and rear carry of a rifle and can switch between the 2 in under 2 seconds and its a 3pt harness. (ones for my heavy m1 garand thats gonna be nice.)

I think that was about it.

The car ran great the trans worked fine. A 3.80 rearend gear should help improve milage I had a hard time keeping rpm above 2000 with it in 5th

fuel milage was calculated at 20MPG but distance was measured from the car odometer and im not sure if that is still accurate because it is matched for 2.75 gears and im running 3.00s

Only issue was a small oil leak from the distributor (needs a new O ring i guess)
