Hey JD:
I just bought a Shelby yesterday and I love it to death. Thank god I found
somebody to talk to about them. First....The K&N is it the FIPK or
replacement filter. If it is the FIPK can I get the p/n if you have it?
Second...MP/Shelby computer. Where did you find it and how much? Did the
MSD help you a lot? I have a set of headers, and it already has a set of
dual exhaust, so any other performance mods you come up with let me know.
Thanks
Scott
