How do you like it? Don't worry it will settle and ride a bit better.

It’s a little nervous right now over bumps as well as being firmer as I expected. I did new shocks and struts as well. Assuming once it settles some and I get an alignment it will be fine.

Did you replace the shocks and struts with PP's?

Yes, from Tasca. I actually ordered what was listed on Tasca's site on PP struts but they called and said that's wrong based on VIN. I even had them run another PP car to double check. They were cheap enough I figured might as well since the car has 60k something miles on it.

I use reused my PP struts and shocks. They felt fine and I dont drive the car that much to justify spending more. If it was a daily then yes.

Yup daily driver otherwise I probably would have left them alone.

Finally got around to installing the noise maker eliminator pipe. Threw the tune back on, car runs better than ever! Must’ve been a big boost leak, because the car never pulled this hard, even got some torque steer in first and second :evilgrin:

All of it will settle. I did the same. H&R + pp shock/struts at the same time. Takes some time to settle and loosen up. Lower tire pressure helps lessen the harshness until they settle. It still will be firm l, but the bounce and harsh edgyness fades. BPD recommended throwing a few hundreds pound of stuff in the trunk to speed the process up. I cosign him on that.

It noticeably settled after a few days. Had an alignment done all better. The rear had some bump steer before the alignment that is gone. It's firmer than it was but slowly getting better as expected.

This was using the same Alky meth kit and using 1/3 of the meth LMS was spraying at it.
the reason the two separate graph lines is the pull 1 and 2 the dyno was set to start at 2500. the 3rd was set to 2000.
This is on the same mustang dyno with almost the same conditons and the LMS dyno run I did last month

AJP 93 on meth with 55* 90% humidity and 4000' DA today.
View attachment 9230
Very Nice! 4000 DA would be a dream for me!!

Did some logging early in the week and sent to Matt for review. Currently awaiting a small revision. Need a little more fuel and a little less boost. Saw spikes of 20 almost 21psi, and a very concerning 7 degrees of knock. Yikes. Intake temps were also outrageous, but that seems to be the norm. Gonna start saving for either meth or the GH intercooler. Is the progressive controller needed for meth, or could I just grab the s1 kit from devil's own with the basic hobb switch?

Finished the entire thread, so many nice rides and mods. Need to get some good shots of my car now, but needs a wash first. She dirty! Will definitely be taking some advice from some of the cleaning/detailing posts I've seen. Currently only have stuff that's from the parts store, mostly meguairs.

Ya was happy with AJP the numbers look good and the car runs great!
As for the meth you could go fixed or progressive just pick your choice. I looked at a few kits and went with the LMS alky controls as the pump and controller seem to have had good success over the years.
