Hey guys not sure if yall have tried this before or heard of it, but i was up in hickory a few nights ago and saw this mustang. I stopped and talked to him and he showed me a way to make his car seem like it was cammin. So he opened the hood and unplugged a vaccum hose that connects to the trottle body and then presto, car was camming. I said that cant be good for it, seems like it would run lean as hell cuase it was getting to much air. So of course i tried it, cause im a dumbass ,and it worked and the extra air being sucked cause a whistling sound .. So my car went from being N/A to a supercharged cammin SOB!! HA but anyways, how bad is that for your car? Ill try to post a pic oc the hose he unplugged.

Sounds like he unplugged his PCV hose. This causes a rough idle and often time stalls out the engine. I would not do this.

you could unplug a few spark plug wires too.... then it would sound like you have huge cams

Looks like its the wrong radiator setup for a 99+ Mustang.
