We'll have to talk somewhere during the first two orthree venues on Power Tour if you're going!

That'd be great! Im not sure who is going on Power Tour yet but I hope its me

Ryan, you and everybody here have been SO much technical help and advice (and emotional support) during the years-long build. You'd better believe if I want to do a suspension upgrade it'll be yours AND directly from you.

The thing right now is, the car was much better than the driver even before the major horsepower upgrade. We'll see. If I ever get so good (so much better) on a road course that I think I should think about the suspension, that's what I'll do for sure. It'll be RideTech. No doubt, not a second thought because I know you're on the line for help even when you didn't have to be already. Thanks so much un-met great friend!

I really appreciate the kind words. Im not the smartest guy out there or have as much experience as some of the other guys/gals on here but what I do have experience with I will be more than happy to pass that knowledge along. In my opinion experience comes with age and ill get there eventually. The late model stuff is what i grew up with but the old school stuff is what powered my passion in all things fuel powered.

It's not that we'll be in that much of a hurry, it's that we haven't taken a vacation in two years, and we have so many to see on this year's eastern loop... we're doing this in a little over a week, and with my sister living in Spartanburg, SC (haven't visited her at her home yet in the 2 years they've lived there) time's going to be tight... We will do our damndest to visit the kind peebles of WeeVille!

Our finest hour until we get to the track Tom.

Page 74, post 1109. Yes, we are proud of that. We WILL say we are. After all of that....

Actually I did see that. I thought there was another one. As far as suspension, it adds a whole new dimension even going to the supermarket. I did my 66 Mustang about 2 years ago with tubular control arms with rod ends. I totally did away with every single rubber bushing, Even my idler arm is roller bearing. I also learned to do my own set ups with alignments. You get a car that feels so much more connected to the road, you feel exactly what's going on. A much more precise feel. What really surprised me was how much more compliant the suspension became to bumps and potholes. the car just glides over them. No more harsh impacts. Even the ride became softer. There's no increase in noise. the only thing I notice if I particularly look for it is a slight road surface feel similar to a set of low profile tires.

:
We may have to visit you sometime this summer... I think the last decent handshake I got from you was at Uncle Mike Copeland's shop....

Call us from our driveway, that's all the notification we need. PM me if you need the coordinates ahead of time. Y'all are welcome to stay the night but you already said y'all will be in a hurry to get somewhere else. Whatever works for you!

point #1:
The driver doesn't assume he's ready which is a great thing!
point #2:
Your melon exploding would be a BAD thingy...
point #3:
There is no such thing as too much fun!!!
(ask Sue Unit for clarification)

It's as much of a night-and-day experience as the brakes are!

That, SIR, is hard to even imagine right now. The brakes AND the horsepower, and we haven't even put those together at the same time on the track yet. But we will, next weekend.

And add ANOTHER game-changing factor like suspension after THAT?.....My brain may explode....

There HAS to be a law or regulation or something against that, way too much fun.

The driver's not ready, that's all I'M sayin!

[silver_bullet]

What I'm trying to say pee wee, is that I know it's a money issue, but eventually when the money is there you will probably want to do suspension. It's as much of a night-and-day experience as the brakes are!

[pdub]

...you will understand with no doubt why I suggested the rear brake upgrade even more now that Red had more ponies!

Oh, I understand it alright, and thank you again for that recommendation My Friend. Already, way before the ponies were installed. All four corners are happy now under duress. Until the right rear caliper blew a seal at AMP, I don't know why, it wasn't because of temperature. Hopefully that episode was a one-and-done, we ran at the Daytona road course, the hardest and longest and fastest braking track I could ever imagine and the new seal from SSBC performed like a champ, and it's still on there now.

That blown seal (both of them) garnered a lot of talk about brake bias, and from all I can ever find out, there's no such thing as bias on an 06 Mustang. However, we blew a stock brake seal on the right rear and then a hotrod brake caliper seal on the right rear. Can't find out a valid reason why, or how to fix it. In both cases, it was not exactly "blown," like all of a sudden can't stop, it was just leaking profusely, enough left to get us back home.
