    Ruckus I owe you...thanks a ton!

    I just traveled back to dec 5, 1955 to actually see in person when Doc slipped and hit his head on the tiolet and got the idea for the Flux comp.

    I also travled back to yesterday and I wanted it to be known that Ruckus not only drives a Chevy but also sports one clean MULLET, this sucker must be groomed daily with pantean as it almost..not quite as flashy as Jeff's due.

    I even got to see Ruckus with a hair net over this fine example of a Mullet while he was serving up burgers at In & Out Burger. Sponge Bob aint got nuthin on this fry cooks skillz.

    LMAO...this is fun

    this thread cracks me up.

    if you dont want to break your gears in, fine.
    if you do want to break them in, fine.

    that way if you dont, u can only blame yourself. how lazy do you have to be to not spend less than half hour to make sure something lasts in your car.

    Ruckus I like your new signature.

    Lets get the facts straight.

    1. I have done all the work on my car. All of it including the tuning. The only time it has been to a shop was to weld the sub frame connectors when it was 2 days old. I don't nut swing with anyone. I do all my own work to the best of my abilities. I ran 11.84 on a 2.93, CAI, and Catback the first time to the track with stock IRS.

    I ran 10.88 1.59 60ft time on the stock IRS, whipple at 19 PSI and the car was 100 lbs over stock weight with all the additional safety equipment.

    Stock manifolds and cats.

    2. No one ever said 28's with a 6.5 back space will not fit. The simple fact is if the suspension squats to the fender the tire will contact it. Many people run this setup, but I know some that have had rubbing issues and had to roll their fenders. This is totally dependant on your suspension setup and various other things.

    3. This site is for the exchange of quality information for mustang enthusiasts. I always do things things the conservative way just like Chris. If the manufacture says to do something I follow their instructions. If a bolt is to be torqued to 80ft lbs thats what I set it at.

    4. Yes I do read and research many things related to cars. Really I have been in the books my entire adult life. It comes with flying an airliner. Education is a good thing regardless of what the subject is.

    5. Your new signature Rocks!

    Who was that. I don't remember that one.

    I also recall someone being scared to bolt them on to their Blue Cobra in search of an 11!

    There will be someone else touching my car in the morning.
