However, these are people who aren't going to be drag racing them every week.

Good Luck with your project!
Sorry, I should have made that more clear. Yes, I meant it purely as a value statement. People see the car changed "that much" from original and their imaginations go wild...was it in a wreck? Did it catch fire? Has it been a drag car it's whole life? At least that's what usually crosses my mind and I consider myself to have a pretty good knowledge of mustang values.

There are fewer and fewer of these out there, I just like to see the nice ones at least stay with the FI. At least let me give you this advice so that you dont make the same mistakes I did. Leave the FI fuel lines and as much of the rest of the OE FI parts in the car or save them. It's easy to tell yourself now that you'll never go back so you don't need that crap, but you could change your mind!

Why are you getting all bent out of shape with you "what the fuck ever" statement. You even said your air fuel was "pig fucking rich" Just sounded like you needed to have someone help you tune it, But what the fuck ever.

lol...

Just making an invalued statement bro. Proving that it is what it is. He selling all his top end gear anyway. So it just proves no matter what anyone tells him he is going to make up his own mind based on what he wants to do. So see, what the fuck ever.....
ROFL

I see what your saying. This car is A looooong way from how it rolled off the factory line.lol Thanks for everyones input. Gave me alot to think about. Since I'm a carb tuner from way back I;m going that route. Plus the future plans call for more big changes. Once again thanks for eveyones input.
