Thanks for all the congrats, picked her up today and I'd say wow, what a rush !!! unbelievable the difference the stage kit made. The car went from tame at the time of the initial test drive to a beast. I didn't rod it too much yet though because it still only has about 150 miles on it. You can sure tell the difference though.

I also notice it wants to shift into 4th sooner, and stay there longer on normal down shifts. I wonder if this is because of the increase in torque. On the way home I was going through some reduced speed construction zones and had the cruise set at 45 mph and it was running it it overdrive @ about 1500-1600 RPM. I wonder if this behavior is healthy for the longevity of the auto trans. Also when you are doing an easy acceleration it will shift into 4th at about 40-42 mph. Did any other auto owners notice this?

Thanks to all the wisdom here, I had them solder the wires to alleviate any future electrical gremlins.

One thing I can see that's gotta go...those gold bowties...They're just not to my liking with the red. I'm thinking they need to be black.

 

Congrats! :0)

 

Congrats on the purchase (and the rebates!) Now you'll need to get pics up for us to ogle over asap. We love pics!!!

my gold bowties are gone. grill is getting painted red. body shop wanted rear piece removed from car, but didn't want to fight the industrial gluetape to get it off. may fill holes myself then see what an airbrush guy can do. put on boards too. much easier than thot it would be. will mud flaps be overkill with the boards?

 

Enjoy your new ride Fatdog..
