holy poo, i cleaned the MAF sensor, i cant believe the difference this made, i raced the 01 v6 again today and blew his socks off, it feels like an entirely different car, thank you to all that helped me

That's how it should have been. That shouldn't be a close race at all.

the dirty MAF sensor held it at 4000 rpm?

My car did a similar thing. I changed the coil and the distributor and that took care of the problem. here's my thread: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=400278

where is this spout connector?
The spout connector is under the air filter box. There will be a wire with the
end of it haveing a gray plug on it. If it is missing you wont see a gray plug that connects the 2 terminals. This spout connector is removed when adjusting the timing on these cars. If this is missing the computer will not increase timing.
