Got a few mods done since Ive been here last

[Bdons SD]

I am on a lot of forums so I bounce around quite a bit. But Ive taken all yalls advice and FINALLY picked up my dp tuner. Im glad I waited because there were a few good deals on some canned tuners I could have picked up.

I got the

0- no start
1- stock
2- economy 60 hp
3- towing 80 hp
4- racing 120 hp

I am extremely happy with the performance of my truck now, it has greatly greatly exceeded my expectations by far.

I also threw in my gauges a couple of months before I got the tuner, and Ive been busy with some exterior mods as well.

heres what it was before, since I turned it into a personal truck, Ive done a lot of stuff to it. works slow so we are running 1 crew only now. We may kick up another crew again, but we plan to re structure as an LLC soon so the logos were going to be replaced anyway.

Upgraded brakes with some EBC slotted and dimpled rotors with EBC Greenstuff 7000 pads

got my gauges

and a shifter out of a lincoln

got my stereo in

As she sits... plus the cab lights I added

Sorry for so many pics, I like pics! ha ha

Ive learned a lot from you guys over here and Im eager for more. My next plans are some injectors, or a turbo. Do you guys have any suggestions? I just dont want to prematurely wear anything out with the added horses.

Thanks a million guys, great guidance on giving my truck some much needed pep!

As far as mpgs go Ill have to get back to you on it, ive only had it in for about a quarter tank, and Ive been messing around with the different tunes seeing what difference there is. And boy I tell you it makes an incredible difference in power. my boost has gone from 19 to about 23-24 psi, EGTs were at 6, theyre still around 7 unless I lay into it then they bump up 9 to 1000. I havent gotten it higher than 1000 and I dont plan to. But man oh man, when I even tap on the gas on the 120 tune it lurches forward a bit, but before it hesitated and very slowly got up to speed. Its like a whole new truck. anyone on 35s with 4 10s and a stock motor will vouch for it.

I plan on driving it on economy 60 tune, or towing 80 (when Im towing ha ha) most of the time, but its nice to know if im in that mood I can give a mustang a run for its money ha ha. I dont condone that type of behavior, but hey, we're men, we all wanna go fast once in a while ha ha.

What do you think of the new brakes, I have heard good things about them?

They're great! Nice and quiet. It's a little tough to tell because my rears are slightly warped, but still have some life in them. I plan to ebc's in the rear aswell. But for 70 more than ford motorcraft you cant go wrong. But so far I am very satisfied and I hope they stand up to the 100k mile warranty they promised.

I believe it was a 92 continental, could have been a town car.... I cant remember, I snagged it from a junkyard.
