OK, I drove "Mo" for the past two days like the proverbial "little old lady going to church", trying to be nice and let the 4.10s break-in, as per Lidio's instructions. The Marauder feels a good 500 lb lighter under a light pedal touch, and reminds me of how effortless it felt when I first picked it up, compared to my Dad's Grand Marquis.
Well, after about 50 miles of nice, I had the opportunity to gun it from about 5 mph...WOW! The sound with the K&N intake, plus the 6200 shift point at WOT I'm sure had my eyes bugging out. Nice firm shift, and I was at 60 mph before I could count to 5 (at least, it felt that way!).
This big cat now has the heart of a PANTHER!
You guys are right, what a bang for the buck. And, the intake really tidies up the engine compartment to boot.
Thanks, Lidio and Alternative Auto, for giving me the 4-door Mustang GT I always wanted!
:D

Heaven help you if you get seat time behind one of the multiple 12 second monsters up in your neck of the woods... The whole idea of spanking vette's with a 4400lb sedan just makes me giggle like a school girl...
PS - You're all welcome for that little visual... ;)

Seabreeze, you are now infected. Welcome to the collective
Thanks Logan! Pardon me as I jab my minds eye with an ice pick.

I have been lusting for gears and the rest of DR's Stage 1 kit ever since I spoke to a local member that had just had the kit installed. Direct quote: "It DEFINITELY goes a LOT faster a LOT sooner!". Hoping to do it next year. Maybe I'll ask everyone for Reinhart gift certificates for Christmas....hhhmmm...
