Right?! It does sound smooth as stock. I was half expecting it to explode at start up. I have never done this kind of work before lol. Luckily blazer had a great write up on the OPG and Kevin helped out on the vmp kit.

I drove it around a bit today to monitor the temps and make the cooling system was functioning 100%. Got on the throttle once or twice. Wow this is going to be a fun car.

Lol thanks man. 82mm for now on shitty az 91. Already had some knocking on my first datalog. So much for "top tier" gas stations.

I have an e85 station 1/2 mile from my house. Justin already gave me a tune for that too. May drop down to a 79mm if all goes well on e85.

Small update:

I switched to E85 this last week and the car is just a whole new monster. My data logs are looking great too.

I also got a chance to install an Aeroforce interceptor.

Just saw the coolant reservoir, green? I thought our cars use the red/orange stuff

O Reilly's brand. Seems to be working just fine. My temps are great. The red/orange is what the factory recommends but that doesn't mean you have to use their reco.

I though it had to do with anti corrosive additive the green just doesn't have hence the extended use interval.

Great progress. I had a feeling the OPG were going to take awhile. I am thinking of doing them in December. I can stop buy tomorrow after the football game. Looks like next up is the intercooler.

Here are some of the OPG install pictures.

I am glad I could help out and come over. I learned quite a bit I wish I would have done the OPG when I did my VMP install. Now I have to take all that crap out again.

Be sure to install billet crank gears when you're doing the OPGs.

I spoke to a Prestone tech and they make the Ford brand and any yellow jug of Prestone whether it's orange or green exceeds the Ford brand and works in our motors
