Nice man. Do you have future plans for the car? i.e. bigger blower, etc. or are you going to keep the mods mild and enjoy the car? If you're going to do a bigger blower in the future I'd just recommend you do a lower pulley & leave the s/c pulley alone then. You can always keep the lower pulley on for a bigger blower & at the same time you'd get the same amount of power just about with a lower pulley.

Some simple mods to keep in mind that you won't regret & are fairly cheap until you know what route you'd take are: Reische 170 degree T-Stat, Roush 3x Larger Stock-Look intercooler Tank, CAI(you already have that), & a X or H-pipe (hi-flow or catless, I'd go catless since LA doesn't have emissions checks). Also I'd recommend centering the SHELBY emblem in the rear if it hasn't been already.

Congratz on the new ride, looks great. You need a Tune with the K/N Cai on the car. Contact Justin at VMP for one of his packages. He also has a list of various mods made with Dyno sheets for the Shelby.
Get a Tuner and Tune and you will be good to go, and on your way to getting to know and enjoying your new ride.

Congrats! To post pics, just click on a picture in your pb account, click on the img link (which should automatically copy it), then paste it in a reply on here. That simple.

It's cool man, I take that as a compliment. I might be looking to get rid of them. Not really sure yet because I like them & am scared the next rims I go with won't look as good. I'd definitely let them go for a decent price if I do & we could meet up as well since you're not too far away to save on shipping costs. Let me know if you're ever serious about purchasing them & I might just let them go since you're close and I don't have to ship them.
