Now go check your oil level, I think its low :D

LOL, this is the truth however! Do an oil change right away and put 7 qts in. You'll soon learn this is a good thing. :banana:

Congrats and welcome, I'm a relatively new '99 owner as well.

you will love having 4.30's on these cars,except for highway driving,lol. I have 4.10's and sometimes I dont like being on the highway. I definitely cant hate on you for having a boosted EM1. Before I got into mustangs,I was a honda guy (LS turbo 94 integra,240 whp @ 12 psi),and they can be fun cars when you put a good sized turbo on them. If I were you,Id go with the SCT x3. :)

Not true. RPMs are about 3 grand at 80. You will get optimal gas mileage at 2700-3000 RPMs.

Go back and read my statement. No where in my statement did I talk about Gas mileage. I have 4.10's,and on the highway, hearing your exhaust screaming at you at 60-70-and 80 MPH(the "Drone" at a higher rpm) is the downside to having a shorter rear gear. Thats what I was explaining to him,not gas mileage/effenciency.
