No one has posted anything in like 2 weeks so Ill shoot the shit. Its kinda sad when you see the honda forum updated every hour and the ford is bi-weekly. Anyways my engine should have been here by now waiting......

Its a fuel injected 357. My damn car has been down for like 3 fukin months now. Once I get the damn engine in I figure another few weeks to break it in and tune. So I figure about a month from now it should be wreaking havoc. Im hoping for 500rwhp w/ my 125 shot. Waiting..........

Im waiting for a motor too. The damn 3.8 is pissing me off and I cant seem to dial it in right. It goes from rich to lean to rich. How important is the MAF screen? I deleted it and it bogs between 700 and 800 rpms? anyone know a way around this?

Yes that screen is important. The stock mass air doesnt meter right w/o it. There isnt a way around it w/ the stock meter I dont think. Try to find an aftermarket one (C&L Pro-M etc.)

BTW: My shit only blew up after many low 12sec passes. If that counts for anything.
