Thanks guys I realllly like the color on a silver car, took me a while to decide on wheels. Im not sure about this paint quality I was going to have my buddy reclear them before I put tires on but honestly it will be a while until I'm at that point. I'd like to put the koni's and h & R's on soon. Unfortunately the white car comes first she's been down for a while.

So no big updates but I did order the RV6 PCDs and a thermal intake gasket for when I do the valve adjustment Ill try that out. List of things to do:
-Valve adjustment
-Spark plugs
-Thermal intake gasket
-Install new struts/springs
-Do check valve delete
-Install PCDs
I know it makes sense to do the PCDs and j pipe at same time but money is tight and I was also going to do a baseline dyno then put on each part and dyno after. Im currently dealing with a fuel cut around 5k so I also have to hunt down that issue.

This company is legit. Sent all the hardware plus a key chain and license plate frame. It’s the little stuff that counts hahah plus welds look great
Got the RV6 pcd’s in and windows tinted

Unfortunately I have not installed them yet but from what Ive read the PCD's will give some rasp so a lot of people add a resonator. The difference between the 2 options in gains is not much at all maybe 1 or 2 hp which youll never notice. From what Ive read the PCDs should gain about 10-13hp to the wheels which is really good for a bolt on. I want to use the endless rpm j pipe with the high flow cat to help some of the rasp. Ill make sure I make a video and get before and after dyno results.

Haahaha very nice offer but Id like to find out first. Im planning on buying the endless rpm jpipe that keeps the 3rd cat because I think it will help with the rasp from the PCDs. I know it might give up like 2-3hp compared to 3rd cat delete but oh well. I need to get to work!

Yessir, foxbodies are light and they get the job done. I would actually prefer a newer style as far as the "whole" driving experience goes but this one is mainly for straight line.

Well My friend n I tore apart the intake and valve covers to do valve adjustment n plugs. Was a lot easier of a job than I thought. But the guy has to readjust rear head because I have a loud Rick that was both there prior. I’m really hoping the second time around has better results. Changed all the plugs and did the thermal intake gasket along with the tb coolant bypass since I never drive it in the winter
