Took the 4.3 on the street
So today was the first day in almost 5 months I've had my mustang on the street. The tune from Justin@VMP was a little off, luckily my buddy knows some **** and fixed it up for me.
Pulled out of the shop, babying it, put some gas in, started it back up, no problems.
Went down the road got up to about 45mph and it started to miss, so we went back to the shop, injector harness wasn't in all the way, no biggie.
Ran it for another 30 min. My mechanic finally said "get on it real quick." so we flipped around, from about 10mph, and I punched it. Blew the tires away 1st 2nd and chirped 3rd with the 4r70w and no dyno yet.
Took it back to the shop, checked the plugs, looked good, took it back out, was easy on it, flipped back around, here comes a new Caddilac CTS doing about 55mph, guy slows down gets next to me, and my mechanic says "when he goes, you go." sure enough, this guy punches it, as do I, and I pulled him by about 4 cars, change lanes, go back to the shop.
First kill - Caddy CTS
Car is shifting at 5800 with a 2800 stall, 4:10 gears, and laughs at doing 80 so far.
Dyno hopefully Saturday.

Well, Racers Ege Tuning can't get me in Saturday, its the tuners sons bday.. but he was saying next sat.. hey, if he wants to tune me on the 4th thats no problem for me lol.
Origionally I was going to run a 150 shot, but the plate on the throttlebody isn't ready yet, and won't be for a little while, so I'll go ahead and run a 125 shot.

well your my inspiration to keep my car, i live in Ky, we have no emissions laws, so i think u couldnt run a huge cam? maybe i dunno ive kept up with your build best i can, so soon im gonna get me a beater s10 and build and stroke my 3.8. when everythings complete a nice guide would work for all of us with 6's to help us really set our engines off.. thanks and nice work!

lol. yea no problem. I don't want to make some huge writeup and spew out **** that isn't true. I want to see what mine will do on the dyno and most importantly, at the track, and go from there. If my car is still in tact today when I get to the shop, I'll get a few vids of the mechanics allow it. The car is still in their possession, I go with what they recommend right now, and if they say "maybe you shouldn't drive it today." then thats that.
The shocks/struts should be in today or tommorow, along with my castercambers. The subframes have already been welded in..
This sort of info can go into my build though, this post is just to get responses from people and congrats about it running ect.
