there will be a big difference in drivability and top end power...makes me wonder how fast my renegade ar would have ran with dyno tuning and chipwork...

Picked the car up from Chad's shop last night and it is the first time I've have been in it since getting tuned by Rob over at Ford Speed. Holy shit! What a difference. Before tuning, I didnt really get on it due to breakin milleage, procedure, etc, but even though it pulled like a freight train up top and felt like it had a lot of torque, it in no way compares to the midrange it has now. I only wish there were more toll booths on the way home to have facililtated more toll booth launches. Great stuff. Transmission and clutch are groaning and I don't expect much life out of them.

I'm off until next Tuesday, so hopefully I can get a little better video of me skating 1st through 3rd.

Finally got to drive her around a little over the weekend. She needs a little warmup, but then runs great. Need to work on getting a new transmission put in at some point, and then doing the required safety upgrades to take her and me to the track. Put together a marginally better video

I used the pixilate effect twice in the video where the license plate was legible. Sorry for that.
