FCCT closed huh? Interesting, but not suprised.
All I can say is that the mechanics/service you get aligned with in MACA is better than anything you had before. Talk about alleviating my prior bullshit mechanics/installs in a single trip.

hey , that was me on Great Neck road....I was taking it easy because I was test driving it for the weekend. Was there something wrong with your car? I saw it at beach ford for awhile...I saw it there because my king ranch F-350 is always going to get fixed.
Yeah man, had a radiator expansion tank (#2) let go on me at 1st Colonial and Laskin... Saw it as it was happening so that was all...no other damage. There was a parts mixup and then I was out of town fer a couple days...laugh. Man, I love that color...2d fav right after white. I was wondering on that, the exhaust sounded pretty fat & sweet but I didn't hear any Eaton singing.
We are moving to a rental down around Gen Booth & Dam Neck. Man, it's all so good around here. So many memories since I was always down here in the summers during the formative years up in Hoodbridge, but so much is new and so much has changed.
F'ing seafood still rocks. Wtf.

I bought the that car I was test driving, so you will be see that car around the beach more often. I love it. I was thinkn about doing the pully and tune but I got a warranty with it. I guess I could always put the stock stuff back on and de-tune it if something were to happen.
Congratulations!
That's awesome... We should grab a beer or something and intimidate some ricers...laugh. 4 or 5 in a row would look nice in the valet lot down at Mahi Mah's or Waterman's...heh heh heh

Thanks...do you think I could get away with doing the pully swap and then putting the stock one back on if something were to happen?
If the warranty is important to you, I'd keep it stock. If laughing at vettes is important to you, these motors are built from day 1 so...warranty be damned. I have a 2d car and bought mine used like you so I never really worried about it, mine was pullied with a B/f 2.93 when I got it. I had a couple months left on my warranty and Ford took care of a couple things (that shouldn't have mattered anyway) while looking the other way about the pulley and intake. Sounds like you have a relationship with the folks down at Beach/Barton already, so...I'd leverage that. If you have 3 months left or something like that, well, winter is just made for working on these cars isn't it..? laugh
If you don't mind always looking at my rear license plate, stay stock...rofl.
I learned the "it's my problem now" warranty story when I put a Paxton centrifugal blower on my 99 Cobra... I had to tear that one down to the block twice, but once was over shitty detonating hypereutetic cast pistons (replaced with forged pistons and Manley rods) and once was over a camshaft bolt shearing off (which has been fixed with the new 4V heads).
Have you dynoed it yet or did it have a wideband in it to verify the A/F? I know some of the stock Cobras ran pretty rich... I've been using Dyno Inc down on Birdneck, I need to get back down there now that it's getting cooler... I coundn't find anyone local doing tuning for these beasts (and didn't look too hard since I knew I wanted to go with Amazon).
In short, well, haven't been there in that situation so I don't know the best answer there. Some people have done that and gotten away with it. Some people haven't.

NO I have not dynoed the car yet. I have been to dyno inc. off Birdneck to dyno my 93, and it seemed that they deal with a lot of imports.
I know Steen Racing in Nofolk off E. Little Creek tunes these car and also Dyno Tuned Performance in Chesepeake tunes as well. One of the guys at Dyno Tuned use to own SMS and he had a 03 or 04 vert. So im assuming he knows what hes doing with these cars.
I have heard that Steen really know what they are doing but they seem to busy all the time to mess with anything.
I dont know what my A/F is. I havent really done anything to the car since I got it but try to keep it really clean. I do know that after driving it for one day I can see a little black build up on my rear bumper....I dont know if they all do that or only if its running rich. My 93 leaves a lot of black stuff all over the rear of the car and I know that thing is running rich.
