Default Current Mods...so far

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would update since I just finished putting in my Pypes shorty headers, coil and plugs, and Trac-Loc w/ 3.73 this week. Check out my sig for current mods.

I had a local Ford dealer put the rear end together for me. When they finished, there was a bad vibration. They put in a new drive shaft (under warranty) and it fixed the vibration.

Good show... I'm surprised that you have the plugs gapped to 0.060. Specs call for 0.052-0.054.

Ford said they'd charge $1000 just to install heades. So i did them myself with a friend. WD40. Its a lotta work, but doable for a novice like myself.

It was about $500 + tax to install the Trac-Loc and gears, but that was just labor. I already had all the parts. They put in a new drive shaft for free (under warranty).
I did the headers myself. Getting the stock ones out was the hardest part. The new headers went in fairly easy.
The coil and wires were cake, and in my opinion made a difference for the better. Everything I've read on the Screamin'Demon says to gap the plugs between .060 and .065
