I finally got the motor to start after a defective MSD 6AL box and then a defective factory ignition module. With the timing set at a 10* and FP set at almost 50, the car idles half decent. The sound of the exhaust was much needed after days of frustration installing everything then diagnosing what the problems were. The cam makes the exhast sound nasty and gear drive sounds amazing, whining like a bitch. Sorry I don't have any way of recording audio or video, or else I'd put it up. I'll have the car out at school in three weeks, so maybe someone up there will have something to record my car with. But I still need a little bit of help. My car set off two codes: Out of Range Barometric -- which is due to a defective BAP sensor. It doesn't read 159ohms like it should so I told Pro-M and they're sending me a new one. But the other code is for the TPS. We put ohm meter on that and it read open, therefore defective, so I need a TPS sensor. Does anyone have one they can sell me? I haven't checked with a Ford dealer yet but they wanted a $120 for the BAP so I'm sure they'll want a lot for a TPS sensor too. The car is getting painted now, but I really need a TPS within three weeks. Anyone?

The voltage is about .024. I know at idle it should be .95 and go up to about 4 at WOT. But it's probably my fault that it broke. Being that it's basically a potentiometer, which are somewhat fragile, I took mine apart to have the T-Body polished and didn't store the TPS in the best place. Oh well, just more money I need to sink into this thing.

And Joe the car sounds incredible! The first thought that went through my mind when it started up was "I'm gonna get pulled over everytime I drive this thing". It's worth it though!
