Ray, you will be ready to wax some 2003 390hp Cobra!

You probably know this. But, I'll say it anyway, since they are SC Commandments 1. Ensure a good A/F burn at especially the higher rpms. 2. Change oil every 3K. 3. Wait until normal operating temps before going boost. 4. Premium. 5. Radar Detector 6. Kick some SS/LS1!

An inexpensive and easy weekend install mod is a Boost Gauge.

If you can stand the strain on your bank account, you might want to do a tubular K-member while you're at it. They pretty much have to drop yours out to do the longtube install, and it'll trim some pounds from the front end.

Thanks for the tips Mike, I have 5 gauges going on the Bullitt. It looks like Joe at fordspeed.com found a good combination of pods i'll post photos after there installed.
I also have a 3/4 dia shift light going on.

Love your number 6 tip...... :-B

Great Tip! I have been kicking around the idea of the tubular K member for some time.I'm going to wait and see what the car does in the 1/4 before I do the K member.From what i've hard the tubular K members are not that great on the street.

 

[Bushmaster]

I think, from what I've been told, that most tubular K-members aren't suitable for street use, but there are some that are. I think any reputable manufacturer will be the first to let you know if their part is stout enough for sustained street use. It's really a marginal modification as far as gains go, but if you're serious about quarter-miling, it's on the list. At some point that 30 or so extra pounds on the front end becomes more and more important....
