Default Installed American Racing Headers

Wow! If I knew what a pain (literally) it was going to be I would have paid someone to do it instead of doing it on my own.

It was a 12 hour job - on my back on a blanket (since my driveway is concrete with embedded rock - crawler won't crawl). When I was done my arms were all bruised up and it look like I got into a fight with some nasty back-alley cats and I lost.

Everything that could go wrong went wrong - but what a character change. The Mustang sounds like it should - mean and aggressive. It was definitely worth it.

Rocket Performance hooked me up with a new O2 bung. They told me to bring it in at 0930 and they put it right up on the rack and hand me out of there in less than an hour. Great guys. I'll be going there in the next week or so for a tune (suffering the stumble because the O2's take too long to heat up). Besides the canned KB tune will need some tweeking now. First I have to install the FRPP colder plugs - been running the stock one's.
