    so......what's next? The limited slip differential?
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    I don't think it would make much of a difference without a tune?

    It made a noticeable difference but on cvn they say with the tune it is the best bang for the buck mod.

    BTW I have a set of mufflers in my room and extra marauder tips in the garage

    Yo, dude! Wasn't the PI manifold, the phenolic spacer and the 70mm throttle body that you did the first modification group? Should I bring you that mustang intake elbow so you can do some machining? That setup looks great. Nice intake air temperature placement. It looks factory (the whole thing). JMan likeys factory!

    Looks good, but ask Drock for some engine cleaning advice

    I think a tune from BOC would be your next best mod.

    Good luck!

    I didn't think it would run right without the tune anyway since you are going from the stock to 80mm MAF and different injector tuning on the stock MAF?

    You need a xacll and it needs to set the maf transfer function for the maf you now have on the car, that along with other tweaks will wake the car up.
