Yours sounds sweet!!!!
I guess mine runs ok for what it is considering the jet chip seems to only
change part throttle performance, and am not close in HP to the R/T yet, but
probably close.
I am thinking of going with 4.10 rears since I do have the Auto trans.
Man these thing sure are fun to drive and with a gear it will be even more
fun.
My goal is to get it as quick as my 89 5.0 lx stang was. It would turn 14
flat to 13.80's with the only mods being a 4.10 gear.
I know this is wishful thinking.
See ya
