Anytime Dave !
I was glad to help out.
Your transmission shifted like BUTTA !
Your new clutch felt great !
Dialed in a few idle issues (due to lighter clutch flywheel)
Adjusted some timing, and some other stuff I don't understand..

A job WELL DONE from what I could feel.

Now all you have to do it baby it for another 400 miles to properly break in the clutch...

Good luck with that !

Lighten up Frances; he made a joke that happened to be accurate. 5.0 Coyote Mustangs are deep in the 12's and I seriously doubt his joke effected any decisions to use LGM.

Yes, just a joke or poke. I've lined up races for Mustang guys that needed reality checks as well.

Put another 33 miles on it driving home!! Got it all cleaned up too! I'm really happy with the transmission,,, Very smooth and the car feels much more eager to rev and responsive with the light flywheel.. 367 more miles to go!!

Missing Corvettes @ Carlisle this weekend.....

Sure wish I was there.

I have been going to the Carlisle events since the mid 80's.
If you have a chance to go to one of the Spring , Fall, or Corvette shows up there.... I highly recommend it.

Just take some GOOD walking shoes and plan to go 2 days.
You can't see it all in one day.

Pics are starting to show up.. .
