Default Today's the day!

I'm going to pick up my baby today from the shop. Alot of new goodies on her and can't wait to hear her new sound and feel her under me. Along with whats in my sig, I just added the Prc 5.3l heads, Torquer V2, Ls7 Lifters, 3400 Stall, Trans Cooler, 3:73's, 36#injectors and I cant remember the other two things. But now that i'm done with the motor for the time being it's time to get going on the suspension. I just want to say Thank You to all of you on here. Ya'll have been a huge help in picking out and determining what parts/combinations that I went with.

Sorry guys it was late by the time I got home. I'll try and get the dyno sheet and a sound clip up on here this evening. The car sounds finominal and runs great. I babied the hell out of it on the way home, but it feels and sounds like a whole new car. I've got a couple issues to deal with though. The shop that had it uses a mustang dyno. and on that it pulled 382 rwhp & 327 rwtq. Which of course sounds extremely low to me for all that is on that car even though its a stalled a4 with gears. The second thing is that the BBk Throttle body sticks bad when you first start driving the car. The pedal feels stuck when you push on it ( which I already new). But they said that the shop before that had installed the intake manifold and throttle body didnt put on the backing plate to the throttle body, so my throttle body is only opening 93% of the way with the cable tightened to its max limit. So i'm going to go get a new throttle body and install it and then i'm going to have a couple pulls done on a dynojet. Before the heads and cam install, the car dynoed 340 rwhp & 350 rwtq. So im hopeing on the dynojet that i'll be atleast 400rwhp & atleast 360 rwtq.
