Turbos arrived, Intercooler and my Derale trans cooler. Starting to get excited! My Ford Emblem from Billet Badges finally got here but I wasn't here and I had to sign for it? Just under 4,000 left on my door step but I have to sign for an emblem? Lol that's ridiculous. Hopefully I get it tomorrow

Good thing they had a signature. I know a guy in NH that would steal that in a second off your doorstep.

Ive got some cameras buddy. I also know a good camera man that seems to be everywhere a SHO is. Might not be Jordan quality but we will do ok for a couple hicks from NH and VT. lol

I make the drive from Virginia to Exeter, NH once a year or so to see my in-laws... its not a cheap nor quick drive my friend... if you can hit NY and CT without getting stuck in traffic usually its about 10 hours... if you get stuck in NY or CT... quickly turns into a 12+hr drive..

I used to drag race all over the country. Especially in NHRA division 1 and 2. Ive made the trek several times. Usually in a motorhome though lol. On a separate note Exeter is legit 10 minutes from where I live and the town right next to New England Dragway. I smell us meeting up lol.
My best friend lived in Richmond VA years ago, I've made that trip so many times, usually about 11 hours with one fuel/bathroom stop! It would be cool for us to meet up! I mean...if you're coming this way anyway....but the purpose is the in-laws...if you could sneak away for a night that it also happens to be not raining..would be awesome!
Would be awesome! I never take the SHO up though... mainly cause the wear and tear on 95 is brutal!
Maybe make an exception though
Next time I’m up that way I will send a PM..

Argh 95 is a **** show. Every once in a blue moon my wife has to take my car to work. She works down off 95 I cringe every time. Yea send a pm even if you don’t have the sho maybe we can all meet up somewhere. :beer2:
Update: Next few days I should have my car well along the way. New 2.5" stainless xpipe came in which will finally get my 3rd cat out of the equation and 4"quad tips are back from powder coat and ready for install Thursday. Still on schedule for GH turbos and new oil/coolant lines installed for Friday into Saturday. Between now and Thursday, need to install my GH intercooler, sp542 plugs, oil change and swap out my used Alky pump with my new pump. I also picked up another small tank to redo the small tank that has my windshield washer fluid in it....been wanting to do a better job on that. Picked up a sheet of 1/4 abs plastic. It's expensive here, I wanted 3\8 but a sheet was 291? No thanks. Picked up 1/4 and will make my splitter out of that to add to my front chin spoiler. Got some FTR splitter rods coming. I won't tackle that until my rear reinforcement bar finally shows up. Tasca forgot to send it with my order. I bought some hubcentric 1" spacers and will have to modify the rear inner wheel well liner mounting locations so my rear tires don't rub. I had the 1" spacers before briefly and it rubbed there over bumps, but I really liked the look and I'll have the rear bumper off anyway replacing the reinforcement bar so no better time than to modify it eliminate rubbing. Got my billet badge in and it looks great. Can't wait for it to be done.
Still waiting on my hot pipes so I'll install them along with my dual meth nozzle upgrade at the same time and add my Derale trans cooler, do a drain and fill with the transmission fluid. Waiting on another pale of VP M1 too so I won't be spraying any meth until that comes in which should be here this week.
I'm sort of mad I'm so busy with work bc I don't have the time I want to spend with my SHO but ...it will be done eventually.

Got the new GH IC installed last night! What a pain those lower radiator hose clamps....uuuuuuuggggghhhhhhh I get 
when I spend A LOT of time on little things like that! Alky pump was very much in the way, thankfully I was slated to swap it out anyway as the original had to be dismounted. Everything went fairly smooth minus those hose clips. I changed the oil and went local so I got Royal Purple High Performance oil not the HPS and a K&N filter 2011. Drained all the radiator fluid, well most of it and replaced with some valvoline 16.99 a gallon stuff. It was rhe most expensive and said Ford so I went with that lol! No flush this time around just new coolant and topped it off with Royal Purple ICE. Jacked passenger side up and burped her 3+ times. Didn't get my plugs changed over from SP534 to SP542 yet. The 534's only have 3k on them so I will be fine in the interim.
First drive today since October 2018! Dropped it off for exhaust work. Looks goofy with no exhaust tips and front chin spoiler missing.
Boy was it nice to hear her purr and enjoy the ride to the shop. Coolant temp hovering at 170-180 plenty of heat, no leaks, purged my new meth pump no issues, no leaks. Starting off the year right.
