Well I guess I'm going to have to start posting up a lot now. I actually bought my 08 Pony Pack auto a year ago but I've officially done a lot of crap to it now and should let others now about my adventures in Mustangland.
First horse for me, and the first Ford since I had an 83 Escort that always smelled like gas (preheated carb or something). I was coerced into getting this car by some sweet incentives and my Z plan (born and raised in Detroit, I can get the employee plan for Ford, GM, and Chrysler through various relatives). I originally bought it as a nice normal car to replace my old Sebring coupe, but quickly fell into the Stang trap. Now it has a Procharger and a long story behind it.
I did pretty much everything myself because I know my stuff (so I haven't posted on here much but I'll share my knowledge and experience with others). I'm only 32 but I was an auto repair tech for 4 years before going back to college for a huge career change and still have my tools and ASE certs. When I was a punk kid in the 90s I drove antique muscle cars as daily drivers because they were fairly cheap then (I bought and totaled a #s matching 70 GTX in 94 because my 72 GTO clone was too slow, and followed that up with a 70 Super Bee 440 Six Pack, and well used 300zx and Daytona turbos). So again I do my own work.
I just picked up my car from the dyno tuner (Walsh Motorsports Wixom, MI)and finally felt boost today so I guess I'm fully indoctrinated into the Mustang cult
I will be posting much more.

thanks
10-4 on the pics. I forget to hit the subscribe button on the thread so I just got the reply. I've driven the heck out of the car now with the P-1SC for about 4 days and it is awesome. Especially love the sound of the anti-surge valve... woosh. The tuner, Walsh Motorsports in Wixom, MI did a bang up job. No CEL and mpg isn't bad when I'm occasionally not flooring it. I'll probably take it to Milan Dragway as soon as I get a chance to see how it runs.

Welcome aboard the stang world!! I'm on my first stang myself and LOVE it!! Like you I'm a huge muscle car fan and Mopar fan at that so your GTX and SuperBee are right up my alley.
Let's see some pictures....
