I had 2 1/4" crossover with the same turbo on stock cam 346 and it was instant spool, The car had 4.10 gear at the time with th400 and a pretty tight converter. It would just paint lines even in 3rd gear from like a 20 mph roll if I brake boosted it. I could get maybe 2000rpm of stall before it was building boost and trying to spin the tires over. had a chinese wastegate and BOV, DP was 3" stepped up to a 4" out the fender.

mounted the intercooler, started on piping, ran the psi harness thru the firewall, picked up new 5 lug rear rims and tires that are stock appearing, bolted in the mock up 80e to build a mount for it next, and the explorer pinion knuckle.
replacement rear brake lines i got screw into the slave cyls but not into the main brake feed.. bleh, going to just swap it all with mustang stuff, this car even has different size brake fittings on each side of the block that goes to the rear. WTF!

Those look like Thunderbird wheels, are they going to bolt on to the axles in your 8.8? Thunderbirds, Cougars, Mark VIII's and (I think) Town Cars are 5 x 4.25, not 5 x 4.5 like Mustangs and everything else Ford makes (ask me how I know this).

i was trying to avoid the camera questions, but I'll jump in, which lens are you shooting with and flash or no, doesn't look like you're using flash, but you're getting very good lighting.

Dammit! I was hoping to not be the bearer of bad news. Sorry man.

Would you buy Moser 4 lug axles or just use factory junk?

yeah its just on no flash automatic mode, hand held, its a VR lens and i have steady hands, also SLRs take amazing low light/no flash photos if you have steady hands, i also have a bounce flash that also lets you take clean clear indirectly lit things like a boss.

i just got rid of my d5000 and stuff, and picked up this D3100 like last week, i was without a decent camera for a while, this is the Kit lens that comes with the camera, 18-55 VR, one of the reasons i have always loved my DSLR cameras is the low light performance is retarded. like i mentioned already, if you have steady hands, otherwise you tripod and time your shots.

or you get a bounce flash and bounce everything, that always produces great results.
