He's in Canada, hard to find up there and really expensive to ship from here to there.

For less than the cost of that exhaust you just installed you can go the the local you pull it and grab an explorer top end....... 25hp or more easy.
The tb can be modded to work for the foxbody. It is 65mm and flows way more than enough to feed the engine...
If you are interested in 1.7rr pm me I have 2 sets I'm willing to let go of cheap. Both are Ford one set is for parts.
Sometimes with an o/r pipe you will get a little more smoke and a slight gas smell (this is what the catalytic converters help with), this does NOT mean you're running rich. Check your plugs, if you have some other liquid other than fuel in your combustion chamber then your plugs would likely be steam cleaned.Runs absolutely fine, sounds great(motor, not just exhaust), timing is at 13 currently 87 octane fuel. Rad level is fine and spare tank is fine(hasn't moved) and I checked the dipstick, no bubbles. Hmm lean? Seems to be running rich, anyone who drives behind me smells gasoline lol
I'll check the plugs this weekend.

Ok. Sorry I guess I missed that partHe's in Canada, hard to find up there and really expensive to ship from here to there.
I have to agree, I have an o/r x pipe and mine does the same thing... altho the fuel smell has dropped off since I leaned it out more at idle. But to do that you need software.Sometimes with an o/r pipe you will get a little more smoke and a slight gas smell (this is what the catalytic converters help with), this does NOT mean you're running rich.

What is your AFR at idle?I have to agree, I have an o/r x pipe and mine does the same thing... altho the fuel smell has dropped off since I leaned it out more at idle. But to do that you need software.
What is your AFR at idle?
So was I, it will run leaner than that but will idle hot so I found a happy medium. The car has an "e" cam so idle was a ****** to work out.Surprised it will even run that lean.
Runs on 91octane.How street friendly is your car with the way you have it setup today?
Yeah what I might do is just get the motor re sealed/gasket ... Leave it, and maybe next year if I have some extra set aside just throw a simple blower set up on it.I think i posted this in this post i had a 87 GT convertible...BONE stock motor...AOD 3.55s the only mods were shorty headers,off road H-pipe, flowmaster cat back....shift kit...mild stall...i bolted on a little powerdyne...made about 9 psi.....stock injectors with an FMU...i did upgrade the fuel pump to a 190 lph only reason because the tank was bad so i replaced it so while i was there i did the fuel pump..OH YEAH car was still speed density too..ON STREET tires...with a 2.0 60ft it went 13.1 at 106 mph...the car had high 12s in it for sure..the only reason i changed that set-up was because in a convertible you cant go faster the 13.49 without a cage....so i said if i need a cage i really want a cage so i then did heads,intake STOCK CAM and went turbo....but i liked the car more when it was basic...trust me that car is now gone and i have a 92GT thats going to be basically bolt ons...with a blower...simple and fun to drive....
Different strokes for different folks.Im sorry but i wouldnt want a car to drive like that to go fast...i would rather make it driver friendly.. Thats why when i did my turbo foxbody i left the stock cam 500 hp and drove like stock....
