That must be an extremely rare sight in your neck of the woods! Sharp.

Thanks! The car (GT) has been in the family for its existence, so, I’ve tried over the years to mod and separate the car from what you most commonly see here in PR. And has been driven (132K miles). But anyway, as daily drivers, NewEdges/SN95s are indeed “rare” to be seen. You see more of Foxes driving around surprisingly (or not). You can tell the Five Oh impacted/influenced/marked (everywhere I’d say) the 80s/90s modern era of the car scene in PR. Coyotes and Shelbys are “by the dozen” and dominate the V8 culture these days :D

Thanks Dom! Greatly appreciate your feedback brother. I have a person at work who can print on a plotter. So, I can get good quality prints in poster size. I was messing around with photoshop and just tried black and white to see how they looked.

I was pleasantly surprised. I really like the first B&W picture in my post as you can see the fastback in the background. Kind of gives me the vibe of a vintage photo.

That B&W interior shot came out great as a movie size poster. It looks really cool hanging up in the guest bedroom.

How hard was that to tune? Thinking about something similar for my cleveland.

That's the one thing I haven't learned how to do my self. So, I had a local tuner help me out.

Now, before starting the car you have to enter your basic parameters in to the hand held (i.e. cam size, TPS set up (consists of just depressing the throttle to the floor), list your injectors, your ignition (i.e. MSD or Holley dual sync distributor), and so on.

In my case my injectors were not listed. So, I had to select custom and then go in and manually adjust. I did not know how to manually adjust. So, when I started my car for the first time it poured black smoke out the exhaust. It ran, but I fouled my plugs.

So, my fabricator friend knew a guy from Fi-Tech. He came out to my house and got everything adjusted through my hand held. He didn't even need to hook up my Terminator X to a laptop.

Once the initial set up was done, I finished my build and then took my car to the tuners shop. He had me drive the car around and then he would look at some data logs and make adjustments as needed.

Everything was done before I did the film shoot on Autotopia LA. So, my runs in the video were after the tune.

My car could probably be dialed in a little more using a Dyno and a laptop, but for doing everything through the hand held I think my car runs amazing.

I'm a big believer in EFI. I love it!!! I would tell anyone to go EFI and if you can go 8 stack even better. It's such a visual punch. Every time I roll into a car show and lift that hood I'm bombarded by people and questions. It's awesome!!!
