Since the cooling is relative, if the temperature drop is about 40 degrees from ambient on both center vents, the system is deemed to be working properly. 

So on a hundred degree day, you can expect 60 degree air max.
Thanks my friend. Z  :)

Took second place in the SHO class for the 2019 Eureka Springs Mustangs Days Saturday :)

did a full detail, installed my Ethanol Content Analyzer (which seems to be dead :-/), installed EPP hot pipes, and my Flex underbelly cover.

Yesterday I went ahead and installed my new XDI-35 fuel pump and started tuning it. Ready to see what she can do.

Swapped out the Primary Oxygen sensors as I was inspired by a both 802SHO and SBS and probably a few others...it went much better then I expected because being driven through several MN winters I was expecting the worst but both sensors came right out with just a little penetrating oil.  I did use a crows foot (Tekton) oxygen sensor wrench which worked out awesome.  Also used the aforementioned "shoe lace trick" on the rear which made reconnecting the harness a LOT easier.  I do have one "tip" to add though - if you are using the crows feet on the front sensor (from under the car) and you have a performance pack oil cooler (at least I think that is what it was) be careful not to overrotate the crows foot when you are retightening the O2 sensor because the ratchet gets "stuck" behind the oil cooler.  I spent a lot of time trying to wriggle and pry and maneuver it until I finally found just the perfect combination that let me back off the wrench.  The obvious fix would have been to just reverse the ratcheting mechanism but I couldn't because the wrench had enough pressure on it.  I was envisioning either driving it red faced to a mechanic with a wrench attached or worse.  Anyway hopefully that will save someone else the same issue.  Here's a shout out to everyone who did this before me that made it a lot easier!!!

Awesome glad it went well all things considered!  I had to free my wrench on both 02s after loosening...i think bc of the surface rust on them.

I got to use my quickjack for the first time to change the oil. I didn't use the highest setting or I could almost sit up under there. I was hoping this will finally keep me from spilling some oil on the floor like I do when using jack stands. So easy, I could reach straight out holding the drain pan close to the engine with both hands. Then a giant fkn mosquito lands on my arm and starts drilling. I try blowing it away but no go. So I took away one hand from the pan for a quick swat and..... you guessed it. I splashed more oil than ever on my floor.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Just waiting on the mailman to bring me the SCT X4 and new plugs I ordered so I can start tuning my new-to-me beast.  I went with Unleashed for the tunes and I bought the SCT used from them with pre-loaded and 2 MKS custom tunes already installed.  I had the chance to add 3 custom tunes of my choice affordably as well so I did, any suggestions you all might have for what tunes to look into?  Of course I'll have to see what the 2 custom tunes are already loaded and go from there.  Leslie over at Unleashed has been a godsend so far, his customer service has been outstanding...
