also...just a heads up...im thinkin about takin out a quick loan before i go on cruise (nov 5) to grab ahold of the APS TT that came out....so i can take advantage of the promotional offer...what yall think? (the idea being that i will pay off the loan in full when i get back as we make a pretty good chunk of change in the tax free zone for 6-8 months)

it will build your credit, but are you sure you can save the money? if youre a single e5..you will make bank. i was planning on saving alot more that i actually did bc little things kept coming up...so i came home with less than half of what i originally planned. just dont put yourself in a bad situation over parts for the car...

there were 80 cars on the cruise. they estimated we were stretched out to about 4 miles... the truck needs a brake job since this cruise... it was a constant start-stop dive on the shoulder fest for about 3 miles in there... it cleared up though and all was well. It was a really good time!!!

I would never consider taking out a loan for mods... even with a deployment coming up and all... just not a good idea IMO...

Good numbers man, especially the tq. I'm sure that car is a pedal fest in the lower gears.

I really dont see a problem with it all if you are sure you will be able to pay it off.

Im sure everyone on here has charged a part for there car on a CC at one time or another and its the same thing as a loan...... a promise to pay it back.

The APS kit is a pretty bad *** Kit and at a awsome price right now.


If you can do it go for it....

I guess one could call it blasphemy... but its one good way to make a turd into a little quicker turd LOL... Myself and Darren kinda put the idea in his head... a LSX/T56/8.8 mustang would be pretty neat I'd say, I think the wiring harness would be the biggest challenge.

Skylar, you need to get to posting up in the Hybrid section on here and see who all has done this swap... use the search, it may turn up some interesting results for you bro...
