    MPG with gears?

    I'm building up my non-HO motor to better-than-HO-motor specs (e303, 70mm MAF and TB, 3.5" Powerpipe, Explorer intake, mildly ported E7s, Exhaust, but stock headers) and I was wondering, what kind of fuel economy could I expect when I changed the gears? It's gonna have to wait a bit, and the...

    what's needed to change firing order?

    Ford Fuel Injection Injector Firing Order I'm working with a non-HO motor myself, I think from a Crown Vic or something similar. Everyone says that the cam -- and the cam only -- determines firing order; I guess they know what they're talking about, but what if the motor had a different crank...

    Anyone Running a Professional Products Throttle Body?

    Is it worth it, or should I hold out for something better?

    Ported 65mm Throttle body

    Don't you mean fluid, which air technically is? (It's been a LONG time since high-school physics . . .)

    Ported 65mm Throttle body

    OK, seems to be a consensus that this would be a bad buy. It's just frustrating because I'm just about out of money and I can't find a new TB for under $200, let alone one w/ an egr spacer, used I don't see anything going for less than $125 (without the spacer), this one is $120 w/ the spacer ...

    Ported 65mm Throttle body

    I guess that makes sense, being upstream of the injectors and all, I'd heard that turbulence in the intake ports of the heads could be beneficial. Bottom line: would I be better off getting another 65mm throttle body or a 70mm throttle body than this one? This would support the following...

    Ported 65mm Throttle body

    A 65mm TB is still an upgrade from what I have, and a necessary one at that to support everything else; as far as the 65-82-65mm thing the only possible benefit that I could see is a sort of reverse venturi effect that maybe increases air velocity and turbulance going into the intake, which I...

    24 lb injectors with stock maf?

    You should be good with the stock injectors anyways . . . unless you have enough other mods to make well over 300 hp . . .

    5.0 Intake swap, Need some experience

    I think you might be wasting your time and money w/ the injectors, stock 19 lb.ers are good for over 300 HP and you're still quite a ways away with your setup from the sounds of it . . . unless of course you have much bigger upgrades in the near future. To reap the full benefits of your...

    Ported 65mm Throttle body

    Hey guys, I've been looking at various different routes to pursue for getting a new TB for my little build up . . . seems I don't have much choice but to bite the bullet and pay up as they're all expensive, but I did find a "bargain" that I might consider buying. It's a ported 65mm throttle...

    STOCK 65mm throttle body??

    I believe that the Explorer spacer is similar to the 94-95s (with the elbow) but I'm not sure, my intake doesn't have the TB with it. I just ordered a 94-95 70mm MAF, so I think I may as well go with a 70 mm TB to keep thinks even (at least on that side, I've heard that the explorer intake has...

    88 5.0 Ho compression?????

    What matters more than where the numbers are, but rather how far apart the range between the different cylinders is . . . I think one of my repair manuals says something like 15-20% difference is ok, but I've also heard that more than 5% difference is bad ( but I think that might be a bit over...

    STOCK 65mm throttle body??

    WAAIIIT a minute . . . lol . . . I misposted. What I meant to say was that he posted his EGR SPACER as being 65mm . . . that's the part that I need to run with my exploder intake and TB.

    STOCK 65mm throttle body??

    I found someone selling a stock EGR SPACER from a '90-93, he claims that it's 65mm . . . is this true? I thought these cars had 60mm throttle bodies; I just need something cheap to work w/ an explorer intake and TB.

    Will these stock parts be good enough?

    Thanks. I saw someone advertising their stock EGR spacer on ebay as being 65mm, is the stock unit really that big? because I was considering using it w/ an explorer TB if it's big enough because that's about all that I can afford.

    Will these stock parts be good enough?

    For my non-HO 5.0 to better-than-HO h/c/i swap, I'm going to be running my mildly ported E7s along with an E303 and an Exploder intake. The 14 lb. injectors will be replaced w/ 19 lb.ers, and I'll be using a 3.5" power pipe I found on ebay. The car already has a Bassani X-pipe w/ flowmasters...

    Will this Power Pipe Fit?

    Ha! EXCEPT for the fact that I don't even have any of the stock intake tubing, just a crappy universal plastic flex-tube thats smaller than stock . . . so I figured I'd just spend the extra few bucks and get this powerpipe, it's a lot cheaper than the anderson ones

    Will this Power Pipe Fit?

    Awww screw it I'm gonna take a chance on it, I just bought it for $68 shipped on Ebay . . . it's 3.5," hope I didn't screw myself in my haste . . . I needed some kind of intake anyways, the fact that it isn't 4" won't hurt me too much, right?

    Will this Power Pipe Fit?

    Hey guys, I found an ad for this power pipe, for some reason it seems to me that it looks a little bit different from other power pipes that I've seen . . . It's advertised as fitting 86-93, does anyone think I'd have any problems getting it to fit? BTW I've got a non-HO that will soon have...
