I had all my parts installed yesterday. The Ford Racing sway bars definitely made a difference. The car is much more stable in cornering. It also exhibits a little less of a tendency to fish tail. Unfortunately I have rather sucky tires at the moment so it doesn't handle as well as it could. I will remedy that situation very soon. I don't know how well the LCA's work since I haven't had the opportunity to driver the car much yet. The Hurst shifter is very nice, if a bit stiff at the moment. It's a much more precise shifter which is very good and it's definitely a much shorter throw than the stock shifter.
I also had MAC shorty headers installed. The car has a deeper sound all the way through the rpm range. I had to reflash my computer back to stock because my SCT2 was defective and needs to be replaced so I can't really tell if the headers made any additional power or not. It does seem to give a little more kick at around 3000 rpms than it did a few days ago but beyond that sound is the main improvement. I like the way the headers make the car sound. I'll post a sound clip of it as soon can.
Hopefully I'll get my replacement SCT2 in soon and can then put the performance tune back on and get the car dynoed. I'm curious as to what my hp & tq is with the Steeda CAI, duals and headers. Next up after new tires will be 3.73's and LSD, hopefully but the end of may.
