    When I put in my cyberdyne dash I had to replace water temp and oil pressure.I don't think you can reuse the stock sensor.Like the person said before me it is a cheap sensor.

    I need help spending my money

    I don't think you will beniefit from a aftermarket ignition.The tfi system on fords is a strong ignition with just adding a crane ps-91 coil.Now if you opt for a high hp nitrous you would beniefit from it.Do you have drivability problems or fouled plugs?That is the only reason I see for needing it.

    AFPR set too high?

    Hello! I don't think you got a problem.You most likely are paying more attension to the air fuel mix cause you are working on that now.Unless you are seeing black smoke blowing out tail pipes don't worry.Pressure sounds about right for stock.If you plan to tinker with the fuel pressure you need...

    best torque convertor stall for stock engine?

    I don't think that a transmision shift kit you bought will burn your trany up.The AOD 's have many problems if you drive it hard.I burnt up a brand new aod in about three months(maybe to much power).No downshifts either.For a trany shop to say that seems like they see you as a future customer of...
