Who wants to be the first?

Who is going to bring a 6th gen into the shop www.p1auto.com on September 3rd (or any evening that week) so I can inspect this car for potential power modifications and header installations?
I am just going to do this on a first come first serve basis and get the ball rolling.

generous enough to do a write up on "how to mod 5gen header to 6gen"?

There will be a few parts I will remove to inspect but I certainly won't take long. And when work is finally done (headers installed at the later date) I will allow the car owner to decide when and how the information is released, reguarding the headers.\


It would also be nice to get a few A34 baselines on our Mustang Dyno because it reads about 20-25whp lower than a Dynojet 248c.

Maxmale should be all over this. If I was still stationed in Charleston, I would be up there in a heartbeat.

If you're available, I'm available this weekend and can bring the car down this Saturday or Sunday.

I could leave the car with you the weekend of the 26th and pick it up on Sunday night/Monday morning.

Weekend of the 2nd won't work for me as I'm flying out of Roanoke, VA (3-4 hours north of Charlotte) and will be gone for several days.

Let me know!

I can't do anything for the next two Saturdays because tomorrow I am leaving for San Diego (my day job), this is why I chose the first Saturday in September.

Technically the shop is in Fort Mill SC but it's within 5 mins of the Charlotte border, so that means nothing.

I will only need a car for about an hour to look over a few things that I need to see. Even less if I don't remove the intake manifold.

No worries... I know what you mean about the day job on the other side of the country.... my client is here in Virginia, home is in Los Angeles.

If no one shows up on the weekend of the 2nd, the next two weekends should be ok for me.

We only travel west a couple of times a year. 99.9% of what we do is still within 100 miles of home. But I love to travel so it works out nicely. I only get to work at P1 on the weekends mostly (my other fun job).

Thus far you're the closest one and that probably makes you the best candidate for return trips.

To bad you won't be there on my way back to NY. I would have drove a few more hours to get this project going. Hpoefully the next time I drive back down south the headers will be ready and you can do my install.
