Restoring the old Eight Nine Stang

[shane96ranger]

So, I tried it today on my way to work. Never went over 2K RPM. I guess I've never paid THAT close to my driving habits in the Mustang. But, I think doing 2K on the tach is doable. I still highllllly doubt my economy will improve with my vert though, with it being stock, old, heavy, & my foot.

What gears are you running?

I run a mass air adjuster too, which helps fine tune. Forgot about this.

It takes the signal coming from the MAF to the ECU and decreases or increases the voltage. Same thing putting a re-calibrated meter does. It works fine for me.

Nice car by the way!! I love SVO's.

As much as I change things, this works out better for me. At the time it was half the price of a Pro-M meter, and I would have been stuck buying several new meters since then. I just use the stock sensor (still the original) and a 73mm C&L housing.

I've mentioned this before, but it finally looks like the trans is coming out next week. My friend is going to build it for me since it's sitting at his shop anyway. I'm going to have him pop a new rear seal in it while it's apart because it leaks like an SOB. The best part, I asked him how much and he said "don't worry about it". At first he told me all I had to do was buy the parts. So in the past 2 years my girls got new heads, new paint, and a soon to be new T5 (and a new LUK clutch if my King Cobra is worn too much).

BTW, do any of you have any experience with a LUK clutch in a Mustang? I've had the stock, a Perfection Hy-Test (they also make Zoom), and this FMS King Cobra. The King Cobra is BY FAR the best clutch I've ever had. The Perfection Hy-Test was a big POS and the disc actually busted all to hell on me once when I down shifted.
