Thanks everyone!

Still running strong, but this crappy texas weather is calling for rain pretty much non stop until next friday.

FatZ28 - Pulls pretty hard eh? Lol!

I took it out yesterday and starting pouring down rain on me. Talk about a un-easy feeling with drag tires.

Plan on taking it next sunday to the DFW stangs fall cruise and might make some shakedown passes. Still on the 10-bolt, so I'll need to be easy on it.

I am installing my factory 3.42's tomarrow and taking it for a spin! Can't wait to see how the turbo works under a good load.

Thanks! Wheels are Holeshot Holestars, Front 15x4 w/metric radial, Rear 15x10 7.5" BS, 28x13.5x15 Hoosier QTP's.

Here's a few pics before the turbo. I am planning on taking quite a few pics tomarrow when the weather clears up and get some video's for u guys. I haven't driven it since saturday. Our baby boy was born on 10/6/09 @ 11:47am and he has been keeping us pretty busy since!

I love 'em man, they do suck to polish tho with all the studs/nuts that hold the 2 piece's together.

I got them from a buddy, and well, got a great deal. About the same price as it would have cost me for weld prostars.
