What he said.

Wow, that's in depth! Great write-up!

I want to stress the importance of having different shims available than the stock shims. Both Motive and FRPP gears need aftermarket shims or they'll whine like a biotch (trust me).

Great write up!

I just ordered a set of FRP 3.73's but don't have the heart to attempt this install, lol...

Now I just need to find a good shop to handle it...

I Also have CMCV deletes coming, have you done those yet?

Wow, nice write up. Not sure I'll ever be able to do it though.

so in order to save 210 $ you were with out your car for 5 days ?

for a job that would be a 3-4 hour turnaround and cost 210 in labor at a shop.

Now some people enjoy doing the work themselves, it is much more rewarding.
I enjoy the work, but for $210, I think I might take it to a shop.

a lot of ppl also dont modify their daily drivers.. i dont have a mustang yet, but when i do get it hopefully this year, i wont have to worry about "can i do this install in one day so i can go to work tomorrow" because i'll have my sunbird to drive to work and such

Some people take pride in working on their own cars...especially if they have the means to do it. Why pay for someone else to do something if you can do it yourself, have the desire to do it, and plus you learn in the process. Thats half the fun.

Uhm the stang is a toy to play with! with three other cars and a motorcycle I was not in anyway in a hurry to do it, the biggest time was spent taking the pics and replaying to the forums (and getting up from under the car every 15mins to get a Mickeys)If I diddent have the tools etc. I would have taken it to a shop. But then again doing it yourself is fun and that’s the cool part of having a HOT ROD!!!
And $$$ i saved..I bought me a nice watch
