The longer lens helped a little bit just because the foreground was a mess where I was sitting and the extra length got me past it without having to crop too much. Then it turned into an experiment with compression and fall-off. It basically came out the same with 135 f/2 and 190 f/2.8, but yeah that 135 is just too sweet to mess with!

I do love that lens, I used it for portraits for years until I started using it for cars and was amazed at the results. I use the extender when needed but I do have the 70-200 f/2.8 but I left it behind yesterday so I improvised with the 1.4. |

looking killer. ill tell you the brakes are alot nicer than the stock 11's. during some spirited driving my 11's felt like gummy bears and the brembos have been alot nicer. How long did your bleeding take? mine took forever. those brembos are just so much bigger than stock!

I've been getting a lot of comments on the color though... Even from people that I don't even think they know what brakes are, haha. I'm heading into the garage now to do the rears, hopefully they go as smoothly as the fronts. The bleeding on the fronts took a long time and I still think I need to do them again. I think when you do a full re-build every little pocket in the caliper needs to be filled and it takes forever to get all the air out. I didn't have to re-build the rears so hopefully I won't have as much trouble. I'm also still on stock fluid so I think maybe next week after I break the calipers and pads in I will do a full fluid change so I can make sure I have all new fluid pushing through the calipers. |

Yupp, Still staying stock on the inside. It's been running flawlessly and the clutch and transmission are more then happy with the power. I feel the power level that I'm at is a perfect combo for as much horse power I want vs. what the car can handle on a daily basis for a log time.
Cheers! |

If you just want a high number, don't go there. There are plenty of shops, tuners, and internet map makers that will squeeze more power out of your car but if you just want a super solid tune that will use all of your components properly, definitely make an appointment with them. Chris is an awesome guy and an even better tuner! |

My car was dyno'd at 300 HP/340 TQ on a mustang dyno at EFI. I could have went to another mustang dyno the same day at a different shop and got 303 HP/345 TQ. The mustang dyno's can be considered the most accurate of them all in terms of how close they are to the actual power of the car but can vary for shop to shop. Being said I could have gone on a dynojet the same day and got 325 HP/370TQ or logged the dyno pull on my AP and went on virtual dyno software and get 340HP/380TQ. The other dynos can read up to 10% higher than a Mustang. They are all just numbers and at first all I cared about was the number but you find a tuner that respects you and your car and takes in your consideration when doing the tune. I'm happy with the numbers I got but more happy with the type of tune I got. So to finalize, I would take most Mustang dyno numbers as true to the real thing as you can get. There will be much debate on this but that is my humble opinion on the dyno talk. Cheers! - Jason |

The rears are done!!
Started this project in March and finally finished in June. Super happy with the brakes and as soon as I get some weather besides pouring rain I'll take some new shots. For now, here is a quick shot of the rears. |

I am usually not one for ball washing, but I have you tell you your car is awesome. Super tasteful mods, great write-ups.
I'll be cruising down the coast of Maine next weekend. I'll keep an eye out for you! |

I would think about the real reason you want one. If it's just for the louder BPV and intake sound. I'd get one only if you have the spare money for it. If you are looking just for more power, the intake will be one of the worst values for the money in terms of more HP. I'd work on the exhaust side of the motor first (header, up pipe, down pipe, exhaust) |

Yea I plan on using ur setup exhaust wise plenty of research has shown me that's the way to go I was just wondering why u went with Cobb and if it was better or worse than the others. I am in the beginning stages currently which is y I also want to know if I get an access port is the OTS for stock a good idea or do I have to worry about it runnin lean wo custom tune
