HAhaha
I'm 6.6" 300lbs
Smoke comme from oil/water on the headers just burning off,
Today I play little bit with idle ,it's too hard to adjust, when I start the engine I have play little bit with gas pedal about 30 seconds and after that idle come on 900rpms and stay there , IF I just leave gas pedal after starting engine ,Stang will stall after 10 seconds because idle goes up and down
I know I need tuned ,and get meybe PMS, tweecer or ....? but for now is good
One more thing , when engine get how, I mean work temp. it pinging , I use 93 octane gas, anybody have same problem, I clean new MASS and IAT but still nothing

Could it be fluids that maybe spilled on the headers or something?

the pinging is probably timing, or running lean....id check both

I've never seen a car NOT smoke like that after a H/C/I swap. Usually it is from the antiseize and such used on header bolts, etc.

Lol...that would freak me out if it started doing that...but now that i know...I'll expect it...I'm almost done with my FTI combo (hopefully get it started tomorrow or the next day)...

Do I set my balancer at 0* or 10* or what when I go to install the distributor?

Tonight I was playin little bit on HWY and car is faster about one full second than before without tune
ABout pinging , I have fuell pressure at 36psi or 44 without vaccum hose, I bump to 40psi or 48 w/out vaccum hose, looks like is pinging little bit less
Timing is 13.5 , I don't have any CEL but I do check anyway with paper clips and I got with "key on ,engine not runing" code fro battery to PCM fuel pump circuit open" thats erorr because I have this code allways, nothing wrong,than I start engine and try "key on ,engine runing" and I got CEL#133 left O2s real lean , so meybe its lean DAMN fox body PRO-M 75mm MASS calibrate for 24#, meybe I need 80mm and exact for 94-95s

Ernie, your new name just got more sarcastic! Recalibrate, and then time for the dyno and track.

the fuel curve is different in the calibration. Dont believe me, ask pro-m themselves.

I went through this already.

C&L is not specific... you take ur old electronics and place it in.

it isnt CALIBRATED ELECTRONICALLY...
