Picked up my car from ST Motorsports and
It is freaking perfect
I flew into the lovely Ontario airport at 8:40. Adam picked me up and we went to his shop to finish all the loose ends.
I test drove the car and it is flawless. The 4r70w is smooth and the new suspension rides a ton better than the sportlines. There is not even one vibration even 110mph[8D] The power comes on and hits hard, and the Whine of the 3.4 is really nice.
I took offon Tuesdaynight at 7 pm (escape from LA) and drove straight through to Sacramento slept 3 hours and finished the trip at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The car is flat out fast, but better yet it is very streetable and smooth. 1036 miles at 85mph and not one hicup.
I want to thank Adam, John, and Dan for spending countless hours on my car over the past few months.
Here is what I had done.....
Built the short block
Added the 3.4 Whipple
Switched from a manual to a 4r70w AOD
UCA, adjustable LCA's, adj panhard BMR extreem anti roll bar, Tokico adj shocks
Moser axles (I bent a stock one)
and a ton of other stuff[&:]

Good news Sawyer! Glad the car is running good and you enjoy it. Can't wait for mine to get done. Adam has the heads done and is putting the parts in the block right now!

RE: Picked up my car from ST Motorsports and
Very nice! I always wonder what a mustang with excellent suspenion would feel like.. but all I care about at this point is more power.. I need to find someone up here with a nice setup so I can see what I'm missing out on.. or do you think all that suspension isn't that great unless you need it for the HP level?
Is that still a current pic in your sig? (With the giant welded intake?) is that normal for the 3.4? looks like a custom job to me..

RE: Picked up my car from ST Motorsports and
Thanks guys, her are the answers
BlackS197,
H & R springs 1" drop, they ride sooo much better!
Blueoval,
It set me back alot[8D]Short block has forged crank pistons and Scat H beam rods. It was in th 5k range for the short block and upgraded valve springs.
Trevor,
Yep they are working on yours. You missed out on the clutch?
Mishri,
Do the suspension last, but it does hook a ton better now.
The biggest suprise besides the G Force is the 4r70W with the ratchet B & M shifter. This thing is the best tranny I have ever used!
