Yes it does, I actually have people chase me down in traffic to ask "What the F*** do you have in that thing?" LOL Plus a gain of 40RWHP isn't bad either

Nice, I'm glad its running the way it should now. I spoke to my installer and it looks like i'll have to wait 1 more week to have my stuff installed.

I had NSR Stage II Comp Cams installed by Brenspeed in mid-march. I have the same cold start idle issue. It jumps to 2000rpms and hangs there for a while. Then it drops to 850rpms. My gas mileage going there, about 225 miles, was 26mpg. On the trip back it dropped to 23mpg. The drive home was much more fun!!!

Too funny, I live at Byron and M59. Yeah I used to like being able to buy the 4 pack of Champions, something ridiculous like $7. I remember when I changed my plugs on my Challenger once, I forgot to reconnect 4 of the cylinders. Car still ran a couple miles before I realized it, sluggish but ran.

Now a days I'm afraid to remove them on my Stang, what ever happened to simplicity?
