    Throttle response?

    Yes I'm sure. I'll upload a pic of the big TB installed on my SVO, I don't have a pic of the LX yet (cause I haven't bolted it on, and on that car anyway the LX has a rotated intake which wouldn't apply to you :D ) Look here...

    2.3 Turbo

    I'm using the n/a block in my LX, you'll need to plumb a oil drain line for the turbo into your oil pan. Real easy to do. Here's pic's of the buildup of that car: http://www.turbocars.org/modules.php?name=Pictures&&mode=album&dispsize=640&start=0&a=95 I also have on my website instructions...

    Bigger turbo....

    Doesn't matter what anybody says or suggest's on here. You need to go study turbomaps, decide what you need to see done w/ the car, talk to some pro's and buy. Or maybe 2 turbo's in series, I'm thinking a Holset dumping into an IHI. Nobody's done that and think of the potential!

And look I come on and bhuff, Crovax, Ash and Brantley all posted...

    Throttle response?

    Roller cam is found in the 91-93 2.3 Mustangs and through the '95 Rangers (these use the same roller followers you need) The 60 mm TB is from a '94-95 5.0 or Supercoupe. The TB's allow you to mount them in the same position and use your IAC and TPS. You must redrill 3 of the holes on the TB...

    Thanks Hawk, pretty stoked about the torque. oh yeah I def hope to up the boost, I'd like 2 more pounds, I haven't tried it since I found that my car likes Amoco better than Texaco, it may be fine for upping the boost now. No more ping issues. This new cam is a roller btw, I've got a...

    Anyone ever sell a car on Ebay?

    Never a car, but an ATV and several motorcycles. I wouldn't say cash, I alway's require Money Order, Cashier Check or Paypal. First bike sale the guy came out w/ cash and tried to get me down further on my price from his winning bid - so I don't accept cash now. Bring a money order or cashiers...

    Polishing is hard! (pic)

    I used a little sandblaster like you can get from sears and northern tool, then my diegrinder w/ wire brush, looks good and it was fast - might be worthy tools for you guys to consider.

    New wheels!

    Dr. Some people's Eibachs sit lower than other peoples, even if they are the same type. This concerned me as I've used 3 set's of springs on the LX. So, I got the Motorsport C's - they drop it just as they say. 1.5" and ride real nice - so at least take a gander at them as you are deciding.

    I hit the gas, but no acceleration.. whats up?

    It's a 5 speed, see sig. He can go w/ a long tube header, 2.5" tubing w/ duals or a dump and that still not be a problem. He's a long way from that. Although running w/ no exhaust manifold or header whatsoever could cause the problem you are describing.
