Random thoughts for the day

Its almost like a "Get out while you can" type deal.  If you keep it you know you'll keep going.  But still even if you end up putting more money into the car than what some KBB says it's worth....overall it might be the same price as a corvette....although be able to beat a Corvette....can beat a Corvette now...you know what I mean though.  It's still a great piece for anyone's treasure chest if you keep it.

Yeah Rich Yaklin did a test years back.  He did Mdesign, stock, Airaid.  They were all in within less than a tenth.  With old IC, car never ran a 12.3 time in June.  It was always in October.

God this make my decision between i/c and hpfp even harder. I can’t do both this year it’s one or the other.

Pump. You can do more with it than an IC.

I am fast approaching the 70K marker on the SHO and was thinking to change the Accessory Drive and Alternator A/C Belts for a peace of mind! There are 2 Belts IIRC! I will try to tackle these belts by next week!  Z

There should be only one, the serpentine  coz no power steering pump.  The poly v is the better choice of the two listed in your post,  premium grade if you will.

Tried ordering a pair of front fender liners, rear driverside lateral arm and new oil dipstick from Tasca yesterday.  Total was about $150.  Then shipping was $250?  Huh?  Yeah probably not.  Called them and boy their hold music is by far the worst I think I've ever heard..........Ive heard it before but I really wanted to order this stuff....so left a call back number twice...no call...waited on hold twice upwards of 5 min...that music had me ready to stab someone.

I'm going to try to place a new order...see if they still want to charge me 250 for shipping.....so stupid!

Rockauto to the rescue.  Got everything except the lateral arm.  The inner fender liners are cheaper and oil dipstick with rockauto so I also ordered some sp542 plugs.  Then ordered the lateral arm only from Tasca which was $12 shipping.

Bulk shipping is expensive from the dealership.  But different dealerships vary greatly in fees.  Check out autonation of white bear lake and lakeland ford.

Try getting a driveshaft lol.

People are hoarding SP542s like doomsday preppers. 

 

[802SHO]

Yes and possibly to find they are still around "after" their thought to be extinction...

With Brad's permission I made this to make my Sync wallpaper.  Can someone with fantastic computer skills clean this logo up with better lines and resolution?

I think you can look at all the sign lines on here and youtube, would have told you who is the tune MAN!

 

[802SHO]

Ok this is it.  Alternate version.  Simple.  I think overall clarity is better.

I'm glad they stole the 3.0 from the Lincolns .. but ... I do wish it was dual injected like the gen2 3.5 to fight the carbon buildup

 

[ZSHO]

I'm hoping to finally have some time to install these! Been Too darn busy as of late!
It might also make for a nice memorabilia! Z
