You are correct, we now live in Pearl River, La about 12mi north of the lake.
Prior to Katrina we lived in St. Bernard Parish but we lost our house to 11ft of water. Thankfully we were fully insured. in fact that 4-wheeler and models you see in my garage were in the flood.

Get your truck over to RWTD in Mobile for a tune! The one that comes with it from Ford Racing sucks. James at RWTD will remove the speed limiter and give you a good, safe tune and you should pick up another 35+ hp. Also, when you get used to the extra power you have and want more, put a 3" pulley on it. That will give you another 40+ hp.

Sorry for the anoying questions

$5400 sounds like an awsome deal considering the roush is up around $5800 i think. DID u get it used? where did u buy it from, did u install it your self?? And do u think it was worth it??

Runnin with the Devil. www.rwtd.com. James goes all over the country tuning Ford and GM vehicles. He tuned my GT500 a couple of weeks ago after I did some mods and got me another 25 hp over my previous tuners best effort and made the drivability much better. This guy know his stuff.

I forgot, actually its was $5600 but you can get the tuner kit version for $5400
heres the link:

I did the install msyself and I think it was money well spent, it's a high quality kit.

good move, my wife and I had been talking about moving to the North Shore for a couple of years before the storm. We waited a little too long but in the end everything worked out ok, especially since SBA financed our new house at 2.68%.
