Go easy on the car for a while. Slow starts / stops and no hard accelerating. You can ride down the revs (staying in gear on decel)

Things to look out for:

1) Old ladys behind the wheel
2) Punk kids with music so loud you can't hear your car
3) Run a way shoppping carts
4) birds looking to shat on your windshield
5) reckless driving people on cell phones and starbucks
6) COPS!

What do you mean Stock TPS settings dont "work" for aftermarket cams? I thought it was pretty universal to set them to .99v

He said "tbs" in his original post. I'm guessing he is talking about BBKs TB's (throttle bodies).



What are the specs on the new engine?

For break ins.. I have always followed the "Drive like you normall would" moto

If its a race engine.. drive the guts out of it... if its a moped.. just putt around.

I know thats pretty contradictory to a lot of what people reccomend... but Ive always treated my break-in periods as so and with successful results

Dyno guy's should be able to fix most of your issues with the throttle.... or at least point you in the correct direction.

That's too bad about the PS line. I didn't want to put fluid leaks in my original post because I thought I might jinx you. But maybe I did that by not putting it on the "list"

Good luck man

yeah, my cousin helped me put this thing all together and he said he thinks its the tps(he is a licenced ford tech). we couldnt mess with it cuz i dont have a volt meter, but my appt is sat with the dyno so i have to get a new ps rack, and get the car lined up, so that is priority.

other than that though this thing pulls like a freight train! iam amazed at how much the nose wants to come up now that i have the tube k, and the coil overs, and the new control arms!!!

cant wait to get this thing running right.
