it was a little bit of a pain in the butt because you can't really unhook it all of the way. so you have to hold it up and slide it under and try to line up the gasket. I did it with the help of a friend(01gtvertible) and it wasn't too bad. yeah i did a little bit, you should also get a throttle body spacer they sound really good a lot of people think i have a blower when revving at them.

I think it is absolutely amazing that your Stang runs high 12's with the few mods you have listed. My Stang is supercharaged with a whole mess of mods and I only run in the 12:20's if all goes perfect. The mear fact that you actually beat the Carrera by 3 cars is beyond imagination. My hats off to you!
There is quite a big difference between a 12.980 and a 12.20. Once you get that low in the 12s, .10's of a difference are a serious improvement. 12.20...you having trouble getting traction? I dont see any dr's or anything in ur sig. Sweet setup tho, mmmm supercharger

I agree. Take a high 13 sec. car and add his mods which are really only good for MAYBE 10-15 hp at the wheels, that is not enough of an incease to hit 12.9's. I find it hard to swallow unless there is a little bottle hidden in the car.

That is only good for about 10 or 15. I think you are a little off.

Good kill. I raced a Boxster, which is basically a poor mans Porsche, and somked his **** bad! His buddy was laughing while the guy was flipping me off. I just pointed and laughed and went about my business.
