for the intake pipe i got, you need to cut a hole in the inner fender, and i didnt do it right so rather than rush it (which is what im gonna do) id rather wait til i have plenty of time and do it clean

I am prob going to take like a week off sometime this summer when its nice out and i can do this outside rather than in my small cramped garage, and i’ll put the supercharger on and change the rear end out all at once.

I ran into a few more problems with the fuel system. actually, a LOT more. I did put the car back to N/A save for the Walbro fuel pump and the injectors. It wouldn’t start. the fuel pump was not getting power, and I checked the wiring, the inertia switch, the fuse and the relay, all are fine.

At this point, I didn’t know what else to do, so I more or less admitted defeat and the car is now at P and J’s where its getting the supercharger put on, the fuel system straightened out, having my trans temp gauge sending unit tapped into the pan, and have a few other “loose ends” taken care of. Most importantly, after everything is done, the car will be tuned on their dyno. When I talked to John over there and he got a look at the car, he quoted me a price for all the work and tuning which I thought was very reasonable. At the end of the day, this is probably the pussy way to getting my car done, but this way I know the car will run right and I won’t have to really worry about trying to tune anything myself and I know it will all set. When it gets back from there in a couple weeks, I have my new rear end all set to go in the car with all new suspension, brakes, and control arms. In the last 3 years, I have yet to have a car running for the whole summer, so the plan now is to just get it running smoothly and drive it and enjoy!

werd. BAD idea going to P&J in my opinion. Keep in mind, P&J does NOT dyno “tune”.

X10

BEFORE my long tubes and dyno tune, my old mustang went 13.68@101… after i installed the headers and took it to them to tune it, the car was running 13.9’s at 97-98 :cjerk:

F them… they dont tune worth a dick

yea my car was there for a dyno “tune” for awhile…are they act tuning a chip for you or what are you going to be running? I’m sure it will get done right just when and how well of a tune it will have is my question…
