Good sounding engine after the AFM delete! Nice work! Now it’s time to get those headlights polished up and clear hahaha.
Just read through your build definitely going with the 81069 moog springs thanks. Also might get the bilsteins and moogs in the front instead of the rough countrys coilovers eventually. Need my new headunit and exhaust first though and tune to turn off the DOD

Nice work! Did you change anything with the tune other than toggling off the AFM?
@tooleyondeck I did a speed limit delete, raised idle RPMs, supposedly they adjusted the timing so I can get more power running higher octane fuel. I also had them make me a transmission tune but I never liked how it made the transmission feel so I haven’t run it very much.

Did you stick with Black Bear for the retune?

Quick update:

At the beginning of June I became aware of some play in the front suspension and discovered that the wheel bearings, upper ball joints, and front diff were going bad. I used this opportunity to remove the lift spacers and wheel spacers.

I took my CV axles apart and am running the CV hub stud through the wheel bearings and avoiding running the front diff for now it's making a clunk when spinning.

This time I used Timken wheel bearings and Mevotech TTX upper control arms. The Moog lower balljoints seem to be holding up still.
