muffler is a toss up, i like the FM sound on a V10, but i've heard a couple borla's that have a nice deep rumble and are low interior noise.

then of course i'm gonna give Mr. Mike at 5 Star a call and give him some business for both my fords!!

that's the main part of my lists that my loving "financial manager" has approved for the time being, LOL!
Yeah - you have one of those CFO's too !?!

Funny I am in the same toss up - just have to decide what to go with. The ProComps look real nice - but not sure if it may end up being more than 4" and not sure if possible driveline issues then too ....

Looks like everyone is catching some sort of Fever

personally i wouldn't go any where else...... i've received a couple of follow up emails from him just to check in with me, even though i've never purchased anything from him (YET!!!)! there are "local" places here that won't even do that.......plus there are a couple other dealers in this area for banks/bullydog/edge ect....... and those guys are like "hhmmm V10 huh.......... uhh uuhh well when you decide to get a diesel call us back and we can hook you up"....... no love for the 10'er brotherhood around here!!

Its a tuner, I get it.. it looks good I have to learn more about it.

Installed the Hawk LTS pads and Wagner rotors. The Ex is alot more solid stopping and the steering wheel is no longer wobbling when I brake. Looks like the rotors were warped.

Also installed the SCT tuner from 5startuning. Great setup! My gas mileage has increased at least 2mpg on a half tank of gas using the 89 Performance and the power is very noticable when taking off. I have to catch myself from stomping on it all the time now. Can't wait to try the 89 towing. This is the best bang for your buck in my opinion for increase power and MPG.

I will be getting the Rancho 9000xl later this week. Can't wait to see how they ride...
