Ive known Ralph for several years as well. Super nice guy. He will probably do my next house for me. His houses are always nice and like you say, his masonry is top notch. I havent had him build anything for me but I did have him do a patio for me 2 years ago and his guys did a great job.

Wheels and the painted strut tower brace made it onto the car. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03217.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03213.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03210-1.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03211.jpg

Criminals are never going to be afraid of the government slapping them on the hand. Until criminals are afraid of law abiding citizens, we will continue on the same path we are on and the government invading our privacy isnt going to change anything other than the level of taxes we pay.

Congrats!!!! There is nothing like being a parent.

That describes just about anything you touch!!! Plows, the rx-7 rearend, mowers..........................

The 4.0 is a beast for sure and definitely has some advantages, especially as you go higher with boost. The downside is it doesnt clear the stock hood. For this car we went over all of the available options with the customer. The 2.9 , 3.4, and 4.0 Whipples, 2.2 Kenne Bell, and 2.3 TVS. The customer did not want to change hoods or lower the k-member to clear a blower and he did not like the looks of the Kenne Bell's so the options became the 2.9 whipple or 2.3 TVS. He chose the 2.9 mainly for looks and I do agree it is the nicer looking of the two. If it were up to me though, I would have went with the TVS. We could have easily made the same horsepower numbers and probably another 30-40 lb/ft of torque across the board.

The car is back together. The only thing we are waiting for is the new wheels to be finished up and I had the strut tower brace painted the same color as the car with the stripes carried over onto it. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01186.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01181.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01185.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01180.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01179.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01157.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01189.jpg

Out of all the cars that have been on both dyno's, this is the first one that I know of that read lower on yours. I know of a few cars that have read lower on our dyno than yours. Usually pretty close but always lower. I have never posted any of the graphs or the cars on here, nor will I ever. Really, who needs the drama?

Lol! I would but I would never have time to work on it!!!

A few pics of the car torn down. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01068.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01070.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01060.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01062.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01063.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01064.jpg

Well, the customer decided he didnt like the white stripes on the car and had us paint on some new ones. One of the big problems was the white stripes were carried over onto the seats as well so those have to be reworked as well. We just got the car back from paint and it came out really well. I wasnt sure I was going to like the color combination but it came out really well, especially in the sunlight where the metallic comes out. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01145.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC01148.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/IMG00097.jpg The seats had white stripes in them. The center sections had to be removed so the new sued inserts could be put in. Hopefully the seats will be finished up by the end of the week. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/GT500/Graham%202010%20GT500/DSC03158.jpg

You say that about everything!

We had a customer of ours bring his GT500 in for a few cosmetic upgrades and to add a little sound with the addition of a Corsa Extreme exhaust system. The car was already equipped with a JLT intake, 2.6 pulley, and our 93 octane custom tune. All of the original work was completed last fall and the car made 539 hp at the wheels. I have quite a few calibration updates that we have created over the last few GT500's we have done and the customer decided to have us pop the car on the dyno for a few pulls to see how much more I could get out of the car. The morning started with a couple of base pulls just to have an apples to apples comparison. The graphs were within 2 hp of the pulls we did last fall. I went ahead and loaded up one of my revised files and let her rip. The car laid down 553hp at the wheels but the best part was the 39 lb/ft increase in tq @ 2400 rpm! http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/GT500/John/DSC02869.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/GT500/John/DSC02867.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/GT500/John/newcalgraph.jpg And for those that want a video

13.0-13.2 on a commanded 12.4 stock pre-cat. 12.6-12.7 on our tune.

Because it is a unique car. Didnt think people would really care about seeing dyno numbers of a cai, auto mustang. If you want to see the graph, here you go. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/before_after.jpg

Just a tune. Customer just wanted a little bit better performance out of the car. I do have graphs, we made very good gains on the car. The customer was very pleased with how it drove. This particular car is an auto car. It wasnt his first choice but he really liked the package and went with it. Shifting is now much improved as well.

On a side note, this guy has used Todd at Esoteric detail before and had nothing but excellent things to say!

We had one of our customers come in this week with one of the limited edition Foose Mustangs. I had never seen one before. It is a pretty cool looking car. It is basically a stock car with the FRPP CAI and JBA Exhaust but pretty cool. This one also had Chip's autograph on the dash. http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/DSC01124.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/DSC01128.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/DSC01133.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/DSC01125.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/DSC01131.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii353/brady/Ford/Mustang/3V%20GT/Seymore%20Foose/DSC01134.jpg

What he said. The center of the pads are threaded. You can just thread a bolt through them and chuck it into a drill.

Good point. You dont need to go fast for it to work. Going fast can create heat which can damage stuff but if you take your time and go slow, you will be fine.

140 bucks IIRC, I think I pay like $15 buck each for them.

No. I drive a charcoal and black F150 with our logo's on the back window. We also have a red/black Sierra and a red/black Avalanche that are company trucks and one of our guys has a red/black F150 lettered up as well.

You need to pick up a pinstripe removal wheel. We get ours from Matco but I have bought them from Napa before as well. You chuck it in a drill and it will remove all of the tape and absolutely will not harm the paint.

I believe Scotty's is a 2000. I could be wrong though. How much are you looking to spend Greg? Pretty much any vehicle is going to have its strong/weak points. With the mileage you are looking at driving, you may want to look into a Silverado or F150. The Dodge will get the worst gas mileage of the 3.

Birth certificate and valid picture id is all that is needed but a passport is recommended. Just got back from a Royal Carribbean cruise about 2 weeks ago as well and had no problems without a passport. You can call your cruise line and they will tell you everything you need.
