Default All parts in my sig finally installed!

This is a whole new car now. The throttle response, the exhaust note and volume, and the power difference feels night and day. The car noticably revs quicker, pulls harder, and sound better. It's a crap load more fun. I have a little bit of wheel hop though like I did stock from time to time, so lower control arms and upper control arms will probably be my next mod in the spring. I'll test the mpg next week too on the usual route I did the no mods 19.xx mpg test. Almost time to go enjoy the stang some more .

Thanks guys.

ET's won't come till next spring because I am pretty busy the next couple weeks and I don't know when the tracks near me close for winter(and they aren't close, probably a couple hrs away). I would love to take it, I wanna see what numbers it will run. Can't wait.

About the pics. I can't believe I forgot to take pics when I first got the car. I know I posted the ebay listing of it with pics, but you have to see it now with the new stuff and stripe delete. I gotta find a day I am not that busy and have time to borrow my dad's digital camera to take some pics. I'll do it within a week probably.

Exhaust note is exactly what I thought it would be. It sounds like a throaty little V8. It's so funny, because I thought it would sound inbetween a V6 and V8, but it sounds exactly like a 60's 289 mustang(the one's our cars look like) throughout the whole rpm range and it's fairly loud cruising with the windows down. I don't think it's as loud as a 289, but it sounds exactly like it. If anybody on long island has a camcorder to record the exhaust I will be glad to post a clip of it. I don't have a camcorder so I can't do it.

Here's a clip of a 289 to give you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8cT-ZE7f1c

Can't wait till spring to see how much more I can wake up this car!
