Hey everyone, my name is Tom and I drive a modded 1990 Thunderbird SC. I just found this website and had been looking for an eaton forum for a while. I look forward to being a member of the community.
Some pics:

welcome man, thanks for doing an intro and posting some pix!

Nice t-bird, what did you put down on the dyno? My friend growing up had a Turbo Coupe that we had a lot of fun with! I think it was the previous gen to what you have, though - looked a bit diff.

Yeah the Turbo Coupes were the generation before what my car is. The dyno was from last summer, it made 249hp and 361lb-ft. This was in 90 degree weather after driving to the shop for an hour with the stock dinky intercooler, untuned. The car since has an 85mm Magnum Powers blower inlet and some exhaust and chip work, and makes damn close to 300hp/400tq as it sits. Over the winter it's getting a new exhaust and a progressive water/meth kit. I've had the meth all summer and been too lazy to put it in, so the car is getting a lot of upgrdes while it's off the road, including a custom FMIC.
Here's the dyno sheet form that day:
