It's rich trust me ...the plugs tell it all...I had the offroad h before I did the "swap"...the new part smell is now gone...lol...but my clutch is slipping...stock napa clutch

For my "combo"...30's would be perfect with a tune...but I don't have a tune nor am I getting one any time soon...no places that do mustangs around here...

If only Ford made a 27lb injector

Almost garanteed your not rich Im NOT talking about the burning smell of a new exhaust, im talking about the smell of raw gas out the tailpipes since you dont have cat converters. As long as the eec is doing its job, your around 14.7:1 @ idle. Old plugs with some miles on them tell you nothing. 30's are what you need plans and simple. You dont need a tune for a little combo like yours. If you want something cheap that can help tune, buy a pro m remote optimizer.

I don't have new exhaust...(if you talking about the system itself)...I don't smell anything out of the tailpipes (maybe a bit of fuel)...but you can smell it significantly at the engine...it will make your eyes water...when we were setting the timing (a bunch of "car guys" were around (build race cars, engines...etc...)...we were all kidding around that it had enough fuel...we all took a couple steps back...we didn't smell nothing out the exhaust compared to when the hood is popped both then and now...

Yes I would need a tune for most efficient driveability...I wasn't referring to power for a "little combo" like mine...and no my car is not fast yet...it is quicker...I'm not trying to seem like I have a fast car

Referring to other post - The EEC isn't exactly calibrated for the MAF and injectors...it is originally calibrated for the 19lb injectors and stock MAF size on our cars...so the EEC is not going to be doing it's job as efficiently as it did with the 19's...and therefore goes back to why I said you need a tune to correct this...not for power but for efficiency and to get the EEC, MAF, injectors etc...to all work as factory...

A tune would be ideal...
