they did a run back last year in 5.0 mustangs and fast fords. teh numbers were identical to the trick flow street heat. quite a bit cheaper.

we got the car started tonight. the pedal feels rather rough, somewhere where the throttle cabel comes through the firewall i belive. we werent able to do too much, neighbors sleeping and so were the parents.

after the radiator fluid worked its way off the belt, and all the other shit burns off tomorrow, i will try to do some tuning. the car hasnt been started all day, so it was totally cold.

i will have use to a volt meter tomorrow to check the tps, should it be at or below 1 volt???? the stock throttle body was around .98 the last time i fucked with it.

maybe the idle screw will have to be dealt with tomorrow, i just wasnt able to get the car to not idle rough, dont know if its because the car was totally cold, or (and im sure this isnt helping things: got the BBK 70 mm throttle body and EGR to match, got the 70 cuz im going to do heads soon someday) but the O2 sensors dont know what the hell is going on now. let the computer settle down a bit? what do you guys think? have any tuning prowess for a moderate mechanical ability person?

thanks for your help,

Dustin
