Car is getting better!! Ok so after all those mods that pumped the output to 410 HP on TJ's mustang dyno I didn't get to drive the car too much (or as much as I wanted) and after my vacation in December the battery drained completely.
So recently I started driving the car more (not too much rain) and after putting around 400 miles on the clock the car seems to be getting better and better.... Excellent throttle response, awesome low torque considering there's a F-13 cam in there and the best of all is that the gas mileage is improving - I was able to drive 410 freeway miles with a tank! That's impressive and I thank Ellis and TJ - you guys rock!

Cool deal Nick, I got 30mpg on the way and back to Oregon to see Bobby to pick up some rims a couple years ago. These things get great mileage on the highway.
Gonna be around Saturday? I can head your way and get those tips.

Not sure who grinds the cams they sell, but Cam Motion made the one that went into Mr Futrals car....and the best I think I ever got was 26mpg. After the 4.11s I was getting around 20. But I do have an auto.
Everyone Buy's there cores and cutts there grinds on them.

Yeah, it has the spoiler on the back... did you buy yours new, or used? It's a $175 option to delete the spoiler when it's bought new. Gee... charge someone money for NOT having something.
