Do you have a stock throttle body?

What kind of cai kit is it? Try taking the air filter off and driving it once and see if it changes. Also make sure it is installed correctly and the clamps are tight.

Do you have a stock throttle body or an aftermarket throttle body.

Did you phase the rotor when you put the distributor back in? The distributor has to point to #1 on the cap when you install it. That is what triggers the injectors. Did you set the timing correctly by removing the spout and then plugging the spout back in after you set the timing?

what do u mean phase the rotor....and its cuttin out just every once in awhile when im driving..

not to sound stupid but do you think the mass air meter is not calibrated right?

dont want to mixmatatch forums or anything...but i was reading this on the corral the other day, its got a lot of good info in it about people with the similar feeling of loss of power after installing the tfs kit. i personally have never used and tfs products so this is not coming from me...just something i stubled across and felt it wsa relevant. good luck with the whistle and cutting out by the way.

When you install the distributor, the rotor must point to number one on the cap. That is what fires the injectors. If the distributor is not installed with the rotor pointing in the proper location, the engine will run but will be down on power and may have some driveability issues.

These people have all screwed something up. The first post in that thread is a bad driver. I can tell that from just reading the post. There are other issues from using Ford Racing plug wires to having not enough timing in the car. I'd be willing to bet that none of them installed the distributor properly either.

Furthermore, the TFS top end kit will give you 11 second horsepower if you have a good suspension, slicks and an 11 second driver (the most important part).

I have yet to see a set that didn't arc all over the place. I've fixed alot of driveability problems for people that were caused by a brand new set of Ford Racing wires. I bought a Mustang last year that had a surging idle. I took the Ford Racing wires off and put a set of used MSD wires on that I had laying around. Surging idle fixed. Another car I fixed had a miss fire at cruising speeds. Brand new Ford Racing wires. I replaced the wires with some used stock replacement wires that I had laying around, problem solved.

I had the street heat top end kit on a previous mustang and I was very happy with it.. I've used tfs stuff on many cars and never had a quality control issue with there shit unlike allot of other more expensive pos companys out there.

I would say the hci package is a good buy but don't throw that shit on a car with stock exhaust, maf, injectors and fuel pump and think you'll get 400hp to the wheel. You have to do the supporting mods, get a tune and you'll be happy. Most people f up the install, don't adjust the valve lash correct etc

I'd purchase the kit again

i had ford racing wires, they lit up like christmas trees at nite. also, the whislting has to do with the idle air bypass holes not being smooth or having flash on them.

[1993lxnotch]

well im running ford racing wires looks like new wires is another part to add to the list....the list is like a honey do list....never stops growing.

[baine21225]

get used to it broski

[92twotone]

i personally have never used any tfs products...i have heard some horror stories from a few guys, but i suspect due to ignorance of installer. i just posted that link to the corral to show that there are other people feeling the way hes feeling, so that everyone could help figure out a way for him to get more power out of his hci package...and i agree that people put a little to much confidence in the tfs hci package...they think that it makes them have a 10 sec drag car instantly, but like people have said before a fast car is a system of parts that compliment each other to make the power. guess that corral thread is junk, my bad guys haha.
