Congrats glad it all worked out. You will have to let us know how the aluminator holds up over time.

That is my JIT SB choice at the moment.

The Mid-Atlantic cruise goes around the Baltimore beltway and its all Mustangs. There have been as many as 100 Stangs during one of the cruises. You can find the route at www.flewbyu.com under Mustang Mania. This on November 1. There is another cruise on October 19 called the Catoctin Mountain cruise sponsored by the SVT club of Maryland. The route goes through the mountains of western Maryland and Southern PA. Last year there were over 300 cars going over covered bridges and around the mountains. This cruise starts in Frederick, MD at the State Farm Office at 9:15am. Some of us are meeting at On The Border at 175&108 in Columbia at 7am to cruise up there.

I wouldn't even know right now cause any time I get on it all I do is spin with the 20s on. I really am in need of some suspension mods so atleast when I'm at the track I dont spin when I shift over 5k rpms. I'm sure it'll be bad once I'm at the track with my 15" bogarts and slicks if I go before some sus upgrades.
