I finally received the much coveted H&R's, installed them and had a 4 wheel alignment completed. This is the perfect balance of ride height, comfort and stiffness.
Also received an ECU cover and cold side charge pipe from FenFab and installed them as well.
A little at a time.......it's coming along.

Pulled the trigger on some black lug nuts this morning, finally. The best price I found, from a reliable retailer was Summit Racing: Gorilla Automotive 96643BDX Gorilla Wheel Locks | Summit Racing
The chrome lug nuts on black wheels is just an absolutely atrocious idea from ANY vehicle manufacturer. I guess that keeps us stimulating the economy though!

Man, I've had mine on for a few months now. My wife and I both love it. The drone to me, in comparison to other systems out here, is negligible.
Certain RPM ranges do have a bit more drone, but nothing obnoxious, in our opinion. And my wife is the type that cares nothing for aftermarket upgrades....but she doesn't mind the MBRP system at all. She may sing a different tune after the DP's go on. LOL,
I'm sorry if yours seems a bit too much, maybe it will "settle in" better after a few miles.

The intercooler finally showed up and my son and I got around to installing it on Black Friday. Wasn't too bad of an install.
We took our time and got it done without a lift in around 6 hours. That timeframe included 3 trips to the parts store and time to prep/paint the Whipple stencil on the intercooler.
I removed the active shutters and painted the Whipple logo on the intercooler, so that the intercooler and logo is highly visible, which is the look I was going for.
Very happy with the end product. Next up, FenFab DP's, FenFab Diffy Stiffy, Thermal Mid pipes and a tune (TBD on which one, waiting to see what the FRP tune is about, but most likely going to go with ZFG).

Well,
I got tired of waiting for the Ford Performance tune so, I just placed my order this morning for the @ZFGracing 93 octane tune.
I have 3 drag races already lined up to start the year. Going to run 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile races this year. Entered two 8.0 index 1/8 mile events and one 12.0 index 1/4 event so far.
Also, aFe Power CAI came in and went directly to the hydro dipper. Should be finished next week and pics will follow.
Looking forward to this!
