With that said, I would love to have a '87 T-type with the "WE4" package sitting in my driveway someday.

No such car as an 87 t type troll. 86 was only year of the t type. Fyi in 87 you could get the turbo package in any model regal. There are actually black TRs that were not GNs too

They were called "Turbo T" instead of T-type.

What's up with the name calling man? Troll? Wow, you guys sure do try hard to deter new members. As for who I am or might be, ask a moderator to verify. The name calling over the internet isn't cool though. Your local it looks like, you can express your feelings about me in person. PM me if you please.

Hammer, enough of that redfire ****. Moderators may need to sort this one out I see.

And I see so many owners refer to the '87s as "T-type's" that it just stuck in my head.

I will gladly post pics of my recently purchased '01 SS as soon as I get off work tonight. Right now I'm in my DD.

I will post pics with my screen name and "LS1Tech". What's in it for me? What are you going to do for me in return?

Truth is, I couldn't care less about seeing your Poopstang. They do nothing for me. If I want to see a Mustang I can go right across the street to the local women's hair salon. There's like 5 female employee's there that drive one. Lol

I was thinking more along the of you posting a pic with a sign over your head that reads, "I'm a dumb ***".

You too Hammer, Mike Morris, Heater!

If you think race gas is cool and awesome......then ride with that **** erryday. Pay the price and man up.

That's the way it is imo.......but that's called integrity

Not really.....fuel change required.
Well, in my cars case, the PD blower with back to back runs starts to creep the IAT's a good bit up. Still had the stock heat exchanger on the car. My IAT limit was set to start pulling timing @ 130 degrees. I just didn't want detonation to have a better chance of happening with the additional IAT heat. Just a safety measure.. not saying it NEEDED it... but I did it just to feel better about it. The car made no more power and ran no quicker with the higher octane fuel in the car. So it was still Kill mode regardless... didn't change.

I had plans to upgrade the heat exchanger and IAT temps would not have been an issue after that.
