Heh, no worries you are OCD, I would imagine there are quite a few on this site with the same malady, but then I have always believed " True Gearheads " are more particular than the normal buyer in their care and feeding of their 4 tired mounts. You are definitely a Modded Mustang Maniac and the only thing I noticed that you have acquired, but not installed, is an MGW short throw shift kit ------ from your OCD friends at TMO , that is next in line, please!! You will thank all of us once that magical shifter is installed and it will be interesting to see how you do at Palmer this Spring, as your S550 is well prepped and will intimidate others. I really like the front splitter with Hartman's canards and the rear diffuser is a really nice addition and looks very well made. Welcome to TMO and thanks for the post --- solid machine my friend!

I've looked through a plethora of the profiles and I believe I'm in good company with the healthy dose of OCD here. You can tell there's a lot of attention, passion, and care put into these builds (and money! ).

I tried switching up the formatting on the paragraphs to be more clear because the MGW shifter was the second thing I installed! (it's in the 'Power' section now, along with other drivetrain bits) The first summer I had the Mustang I noticed the shifter was kind of floaty and not direct, a quick search online brought up a crazy amount of MGW support so it seems to be universally loved. It was a huge improvement on the shifting characteristics and It's absolutely here to stay. I installed it with a little help from my 4 legged friend I see it's on your profile picture, so I'm glad it's a highly regarded shifter around here too.

I'm looking forward to this upcoming season, I plan on stretching my wings a little as Thompson Raceway (CT), Lime Rock Park (CT), and New Hampshire Motor Speedway are all within 1-1.5 hours from me. Watkins Glen and New Jersey Motorsports Park are within a handful of hours so they're definitely do-able on a weekend trip.

Thank you for the feedback!
