Just be careful not to get into boost until you got everything just right I know your anxious i was.

haha hell yea i am ready to drive the car, but i promised myself i wouldnt take it down off the jackstands till it was pretty much good to go. i think ur right about that maf...im not sure what he's gonna do bout that...i sent him my datalogging so we'll see what he comes up with...my a/f is running like in the mid 10s at idle so its def. not right yet

was your cars engine cold by chance when you started the motor?
a wide band needs time to heat up to read properly.

it warms itself up...takes about 10 seconds or so. and believe me...that thing gets hot

WLJohnson05 · June 6th, 2008, 06:25 PM

heres some update pics...i think i might end up painting the intake blue since that coupler is blue. the engine is running pretty good at the moment. i need to do some more logging but i think its bout time to do a test drive after i fix two little things.

WLJohnson05 · June 7th, 2008, 06:39 PM

car is back together...the front end sits lower now too haha
its just a matter of getting it running right. i was gonna take it for a lil test drive but i pulled it out the garage and it started boggin out on me and then i put it in drive and started moving forward and she started backfiring on me so i decided today wasnt the day for a test drive

heres a pic of it put back together

WLJohnson05 · June 7th, 2008, 07:07 PM

i mean ideally that would be good, but it takes a few minutes of driving to get there so i mean i gotta be able to get there

04mustang232 · June 8th, 2008, 08:10 PM

my intake piping is the intake that comes with the kit, i just had to cut the bend off and move it. it worked pretty good
