.15 for a modification, who would have thought. This damn little this is amazing. The performance gains, especially in the high rpm range is unreal. The car is finally getting the fuel that it needs and it likes it! Mustang GT TB next if we can get it to work. I'll get that on our trip to the boneyard. Thanks again Dom, a couple more of mods like this and we might just have the fastest conturs in the area.

Hey Biltz... were testing it now.. Matt (QWICSVT) Mike (WNY SE) and I are testing this right now.. And I asked them to post their experiences. I will post a how-to in a little bit explaining how to do this mod. It's very easy and pocket change cheap..  Dom

DOM!!!! I have an idea for you guys on the resistor mod. On the cougar board, some people are trying the same thing, except that they are using volume pots. 0 to 100k ohm pots. Run one of these inside the cockpit and adjust when needed. Turn off when just driving around town. Interesting idea and iu will be seeing everyone real soon. I cannot stand the girl I am living with and am moving back csoon. I also miss my friends and my racing and everything. So, CEG meets, here we come!!!

BRIAN!!!!! Hey man give me a call when you get back into town!! The only reason that I didn't install that type of resistor is because the most gains are found at that resistance... And you want to have variable resistance so the computer doesn't see one value all the time... It will eventually set the CEL sooner or later.. The engine control knows that as the engine warms up the air temp will also... Thus this idea and keeping the air temp sensor intact and functioning.. You could install a 10k ohm resistor.. but that's too much resistance and it makes the computer think it's almost 50 degrees lower air temp than actual... Which will lead to problems when it gets cold again and the computer is going hella rich because it thinks it's -20F when actually it's 30F... So thats the theory..lol Dom

Dom HEY...thats Mike (used to be WNY SE, but now is FUseface, superhero extrordinaire) I get my car back tomorrow, and the 1st thing I do...time willing, is put the resistor in. BTW...she is looking SWEET...they buffed the finish today, and it looks AWESOME SEEYA
