I like it. Can you post more info on the gauge and where you purchased it?

Is that similar to an Aeroforce gauge that plugs into OBD-II? What readings are you looking for that we don't get already? I have put digital gauges into all my previous Mustangs, but finally felt like Ford gave us adequate gauge info on the GT350.

It's an OBDII gauge, but it also has two ports for analog readings if you're so inclined, which is kind of nice. If you buy a tune from someone at this point, it's likely this is the device they'll package with it. The manufacturer only distributes to tuners apparently. I got mine from Weir Racing who was doing a New Years day promo for a Lund tune. Haven't installed the tune yet, because apparently I'm not brave enough, but the day will come.

As for the readings, the LEDs at top can be programed to any OBD PID that it can read. I have it set to Lambda currently. But you can read, display and log a bunch of stuff that would come in handy when the car is tuned, spark advance, knock sensor, etc. The big one for me is transmission fluid temp since I have a Tech pack and isn't surfaced in the center display gauges.

'broke the seal' by actually driving it to work today (the weather is nice and I have a covered garage at work...biggest issue was the speed bumps entering the parking garage...but it cleared...oh, and setting off a bunch of car alarms inside the garage...lol).

As such, the kids got to drive the Boss to school. Gotta share the love.

Added a UPR catch can setup today.

I was going to wait for the FP catch can but supposedly whenever that does surface it, it will only be the dirty side. So I sprung for the UPR dual side setup. Materials are nice and mounting is nice and clean. Well, at least as clean as the rest of the factory hose mess encasing the engine.

Shopping!

As my mod lists grows I was looking at the Moroso coolant expansion tank. The stock one if fugly and I always wanted to install a Moroso on my Boss. Hopefully this fits the GT350.

That Moroso coolant expansion tank would look would look sweet if it fits. I ordered one for my Boss when Steeda had a sale on them.

From what I understand, the "POP" of the 5.2 happens when you're hearing it not looking at it. My Boss has a nice "POP" of its own.. ;)
8250 red line, FPC in a 5.2L (never done before).......the last thing I want to think about is "pop" :eek:

Drove it roughly 40 feet by backing it out of the single stall garage into the double garage so I could start disassembling it :p

New car disassembled in the garage = Wifie saying WHAAAT? At least in my garage!

Looks like your getting ready for the cage install.

Just about 22" of snow over the last 24 hours, so that was fun playing with the snow blower, but it would have been better if it had a TracKey option!

Good luck with your cage install,

Got a few more break in miles today as the roads were dry and the temperature broke above freezing :eek:

So here's the issue for anyone who wants to add a circuit using the passenger fuse box, which uses a combination of Micro2 and Micro3 fuses. The fuse taps have have a slightly wider flange each side, making them too wide to go into the fuse box slots:

I ended up using a very sharp blade to trim them back -- takes some care as they are so small. Both sides need trimming:

Here are the fuse taps installed:

Not a lot of choices as several of the fuses are Micro3's and there are no taps for those, also I prefer not to add current to 30 amp circuits.. Ended up using Fuse 2 for constant feed (Driver seat module & folding mirror??) and Fuse 33 for ignition on, switched feed (Audio Control Module -- not a lot of current there in a R without audio!)
