Yes, it was time. Must go faster. Stinger almost had as much horsepower as me (NOT).

So ecu being overnighted to Kleemann today. An optimized ECU software upgrade tune + a set of stainless steel tubular exhaust headers, downpipes and straight pipe being installed. Governor limits removed. Ecu back Wednesday morning. Tentative pickup Wednesday night


Having separation anxiety now.

Patience, young Padawan. Center yourself and be at peace, and soon the Force will grow stronger with you...
...or at least the power curve!

I guess you'll have to find something else to wipe down twice a day! When's your car expected to be done?

Now that's an embarrassment of riches.

Sounds like fun times to come in the Banksmobile:tu:

Tentative pickup Wednesday night

 

[Mensra]

If you are a Mustang you should be afraid. Be VERY afraid!

Well done Jeff, those headers look 'the nuts' cruising with the hood down, and giving your baby some 'pedal to the metal' when it's all hooked up, will have you smiling like a "Cheshire cat" (Cheshire Cat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Old British saying, lol...:usa:
PS: Love to see/hear a video when it's done, just to hear what it sounds/looks like?

:grin:

I might have to send an iphone video to someone that has a youtube account when I get it back

I'm confident she'll pull through just fine and be better than ever.

 

[fastdawg1]

I'm interested on what kind of cost this involves! Because eventually there will be performance mods down the road, maybe.

 

[jbanks15]

$3800 plus tax. ECU tune, headers, downpipe, straight pipes, parts n labor.

Hang in there Jeff....we're all with you, at least in sprit. I'm sure she's in good hands and will pull through just fine. Just take it easy with her after she's ahem, 'discharged' until she's ready to go full throttle again :grin:

 

[ZeroZero]

Hi All
We'll JB that's going tobe the "Mutt's Ginger nuts", I would love to know the difference with the exhaust notes.

Cheers

Simplyslk's husband (well she offered) has a drone so we will have to see how that works out.

 

[simplyslk]

I'm sure she's in good hands and will pull through just fine. :grin:

Oh, she's definitely in good hands...the 'specialists' are #1 in Tampa, maybe even the south....and the 'hospital' is spotless, what would one expect with Jeff's OCD issues!:smile:

 

[Berliner Heckflosse]

Jeff got OCD ? Get outta here:surprise:
