So, I drove my mothers 91 F-150 a few weeks ago, and I was pissed.
That pick-up truck was SIGNIFIGANTLY more powerful than my thunderbird.
It had the power to sling all the body weight onto the back wheels instantly.
My mother says that the transmission has been modifyed with a towing gear.
I'm sure that probably has something to do with it.
1st gear redlined at 40 instead of 55 like my T-bird.
My T-bird is also a 91.
Now, another thing I have noticed about this truck, is it's MASSIVE intake w/ it's dual throttle plates.
And I can't help but wonder, "Does that make it more powerful?"
Now, I already know that in order to install one of those on my Bird, I will have to cowel the hood, my question here is,
Does anyone know or think it will be worth it?
That intake looks mean, but does it really flow better?
The only non-hood issues I can think of is just gonna be the sensors and duct work.
I'm thinking I can get the sensors to work, and the ducts will just be a space issue.
My Biggest concern is getting the MAF sensor working right. I'll probably have to use one from the donor.
So, any opinions?
