    I appreciate the fact that Paul's engineering is willing to help me with some work as I try to personalize My 2023 Mustang Mach1.

  • Works Just as Described

    Install is simple and straight forward. Decided to do something that may preserve the warranty as opposed to going big, like I did on my last Raptor. It shifts much better and you can feel the seat of the pants improvement.
