Default Decided to do it...

Bringing my bro's mach back to theshopinc. Getting both heads rebuilt with valve jobs, and new timing chains while they are there, also having the intake spacer from roy put on. I told them to go ahead and do a cutom tune on it while they are at it. Car has catless X, flowmasters catback, CAI, spacer... gonna set him back $3200 total but I bet its going to run great. From other posts I figure it will make over 300rwhp. Since he is putting money in it I'm gonna go ahead and put on some nicer headlights, new shocks/struts, new manual tranny fluid, rear end was just done, and a new fuel filter. Should be an awesome mach within a few weeks!!! and wannabegearhead when it's done you will need to check it out, I have only seen one other azure mach in lincoln which was bone stock.

You won't be disappointed with The Shop Inc. They are the only place I take my car to get work done.

Is your brother going to be selling it after he gets it fixed or keep it?

Let me know when it's done and we can see if my slow GT can beat a 4v lol

Well I talked him into keeping it for a couple years while 427R prices drop. We both like the roush 427's plus it's a unique car. I'll race the GT, but when the thing was running well it was insane, he had a bolt on 04' 5spd and this thing is crazy compared to that thing... I can't wait to see what a head rebuild and a custom tune is going to do to it. I'm trying to talk him into upper/lower CA's, but I don't want to have to install I have never tried.

Also, he just had surgery today... was sayin he got blown up in Iraq about 8 months ago, they put a 12" rod with 10 screws down his femur and decided to take it out and saw off HO around his knee. I think the last thing he wants to worry about is his car so I'm trying to get it done right.
