Changed out the ring clamps for SS T-clamps on the MDesign CAI install... I think it's an improvement, at least matches the other new plumbing.  compare to earlier pics or to the ring clamp on the saxophone. Left click to enlarge pics.

Man, that intake is GORGEOUS installed, especially with the upgraded hardware.

Great job Spartn27!

Thanks FoMoCo!
You know.... just noticed that I need to reverse the CF connector housing the intake sensor so the CF grain matches!... But see the big space created to the side of the intake... where my meth reservoir will eventually go...

Tom any trouble reaching the IAT sensor and connector?

Z.... I had to open the wiring harness and free up another inch of slack to be happy (rewrapped with tape afterward), but the wire reached without that.  I also used the grommet Ahmad sent with the kit as the press fit was very tight.. if I change anything there I will add just a dab of clear silicon sealant, but smoke testing showed no leaks now.. you can see the wire in the last pics I posted, on the engine side of the intake.

Very interesting article there found by Rich,we should appreciate our SHO fully made in USA,not like the earlier stangs with the tranny made in china with issues.

Great read on the transmission! Good Find!

What I like most about the article, is the last paragraph where it talks about upgraded internals for the trans!

Rich again awesome article,in regards to the shift kit,would consult with LMS if they are aware of the kit and there knowledge and if the tunes are compatible and even better yet benefit to having an adjusted tune primarily for the kit,this is only my opinion to safguard the trans because it already has firmer shifting points,or does the tune adjust its own parameters,LMS also makes modified trans for the stang,so basically would consult with them before making the purchase,only my opinion.

[SHOnUup]

ZSHO, thanks for the concern. The shift kit sounds cool, but I'm eagerly awaiting BigMac's info from his scheduled call this morning. Fingers are crossed that we've found a place with aftermarket trans, or at least a place willing to work on it. This would be huge for a few guys out there with heavy mods and built motors. May entice others to go big being able to harness that power!

Wilson.... Well, despite the claims I was told that they don't work on customized cars, wished me luck, and stated  they would offer no warranty if they did work on a performance modded car... This was by email. I plan to try a direct call them directly. Disappointing, but one more small step taken. Keep looking!

Manu has some great references on our transmission's functioning. I have posted them with his comments below.

He posted once:

Being rained out on a deck job today, I got to see the FedEx guy pull up the driveway. That's such a good feeling.
