Welcome, Tony!

What city are you in? Monterey? Seaside? Marina? Pacific Grove?

The "other"? Man there is no other

Do you ever make it to Fab. Fords @ Knotts? We'll be there again this year. The L hasn't been the last few.

Unfortunately, back when I was eyeballs deep into the L scene (NLOC, SVT P, Rodder, etc) I was never able to swing it.

We've been going to Knotts since my boy was in Jr high. Crap he's 29 this year!

Just a few mods. 2.3 KB, upper intake (16lbs), Accufab TB, SCT meter, long tubes/custom exhaust, built trans, 4:56 gears/Trutrac. Yes the gears seem a bit much but those are 32" Nitto on the rear. I haven't taken it to the track in awhile. There's 171k on the ticker.

Thanks. A place in Santa Barbara called Airtrix painted her. I'll see about some more pics tomorrow, Sunday.

A local shop her in Lompoc, Quintrans, built the trans. Damn thing hits hard. He said it's basically an F450 trans.

Very nice! Where did you get the new seat leathers? What's the brand name on your gauge pod?

Did you do the e-fan install? Was it fairly straight-forward? Drop in?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the complements.

The seats were that way when I bought it. They are leather.

The gauges are Autometer air/fuel, boost and oil press. The are mounted to the A pillar with Autometer cups.

The fans are all me. Spal fans with Spal programable controller. I made the mounts
