Not Good News

OK,

So I talked with the owner of the speed shop that is doing my Dyno tune. They are having a hard time tuning my car. It either runs lean or misfires or both. He thinks it might be a mechanical problem...but I sure hope not..at least nothing major...PRAY pople...PRAY for me!!

Thoughts are with you Pal. I know how miserable a person can be when the car isn't running right. Hope it all works out.

We gather here to ask you Lord, to bless our Mustangs, made by Ford. Watch over our ponys, both old and new. This is what we ask of you. The Roush, Cobra, and 5.0. May they never need a tow? Classics and small engines, too. Need this blessing we ask of you. We love to cruise, show & race. Help us all to keep the pace, whether headed for Hooters, the beach or mall, keep safe our Mustangs one and all. - AMEN

OK,

Spoke with Brian at the shop doing the tuning. Turns out there was a minor vacuum leak causing all the issues. Soooo...it looks like I'll have her back tomorrow night...can't wait!!

Awesome News!!!!!!!!!

Well,

Thank you for all you prayers because they have been answered!! Although it ended up costing almost double what the original estimate was, due to extra time on the dyno and finding/fixing the vacuum leak the car is done and I'm going tonight to pick it up. Final numbers are 255 RWHP and 247 ft/lbs of torque. Awesome numbers for a N/A V6!! So thanks again for all your positive energy guys...and I'll get pics and maybe some video up soon!!
