Mike, I walked out to the new GT to shoot a video for you. When I bought that car it would cold start around 90 psi oil pressure. Needless to say, it made me look like an ass. It still doesn't take much to bump that pressure thought. Ah, well. I'll post it anyway..

Well now we have a solution to one problem, and no clue on another.
I'm gonna put the ecu and relay board back, and close the bottom of the dash up. The new pump'll be here tomorrow, hopefully, that'll be a done deal.
I started blacking out the trim, and ended up messing up the passenger side mirror ( sanded the paint and recoated it and it promptly wrinkled like a botch.) I was supposed to wait 8 hours before doing that, (guess that's what happens when you dont.)
The oil leak may force me to pull that engine. In the grand scheme of things, I hope like hell i dont have to, but I almost prefer that to trying to figure out that ecu.
Go figure

That was a fun video mike, wish i lived closer. Good luck with that damned oil leak!
Other than that, sounds like tuning will take care of the problems for you (other than a stupid fuel pump).
If i get shtloads of money between now and the startup of my blue car, i'll fly you and Kate out.

No
Keep your money,..lets just focus on getting somewhere in between where both of your paintjobs can be admired by the people that know what to look for. Too bad there isn't a "Foxtoberfest" in Missouri.

Trying to remember my HS geography class, but... Oklahoma, Alabama... Missouri is in the middle?
Great start up video, it had everything...... I laughed, I cried, and I thought that's just like my luck when that oil drop fell.
Missouri is cooler than Arkansas. Only rednecks in Ar Kansas

Yeahh I hear you,..but that gauge sender that I installed is reading 99 P.S.I. at Idle regardless of engine temp. It's Just wrong. The previous one reads 73 P.S.I. at cold start up and eventually drops to around 50. I clearly have a wrong impedance thingy going on w/ that one.
Half my family is an hour west of Saint Louis. Thems is hillbillies.
Yeah, but ST Louis is in Missouri. ST. Louis is a Beer city (Though I never drink their most famous brand). It's a really cool ass midwestern city.
There's gotta be something cool going on there in the summer car-related.
Arkansas has...................Well Arkansas ain't got sht.

That's not true. They have terrible highways with filthy gas stations/bathrooms run by rude, lazy, worthless people.. See? They got something.
Missouri south of I-70, with the exception of Springfield is mostly hillbilly.
For car stuff, don't rule out Kansas City. We have lots of beer, and BBQ too.
