Glad you made it by on your one day. It was good bullshitting with you. Finally got the car all cleaned up. Next it will need a buffing but the tune up is next weekend, then the dyno to see what needs to be done if anything.

Yeah, it was good to see you again and I"m glad to see you back in the hobby. Just let me know when you want to cruise out to TS. It's going to be nice outside all this week!

Ill send you a text tomorrow to set something up later in the week. I think I'm going to do the tune up and then have it put on the dyno to see where it's at. Really hate to start dropping money on stuff and not even know where I'm at now. The car hasn't been on a dyno in almost 10 years. Looking forward to making it to some events. I'll bring the old 5.0 to your new ones.

I'm guessing it will make around 450-475rw which isn't bad at all for as old as that setup is. A new tune, get rid of that FMU, some new injectors and it should crack 500rw pretty easily as long as the head unit is still making boost and there is no issue with any seals.
There is still some cool car shows coming up before the end of the year we can hit up and there is always Kellers on Saturday nights.

I'm wanting to try and make it through the rest of the year with the fmu if possible. Since I get to have another surgery on December 18th, only 3 this year not bad. Then I will start getting everything together to get rid of the fmu and get a chip burned. Not wanting to push to much power don't want to have to build a dart block 331 stroker yet, but if she does blow that's what I'm doing. The block only has 42k miles on it so I want to make it safe and cruise.

With my 93 Cobra, I saw much better improved drivability and idle quality when I finally tuned it and ditched the FMU. But you will be fine until then, may have to put up with a lil surging here and there. Other than that, keep the RPM's down like I said before. Those FMU's can be a lil sketchy and the only thing in that that FMU keeping your motor alive is that lil diaphram. So don't blow it it out of there! lol.

Around 7-8pm is the best time to arrive at Kellers. Anything past that the parking lot gets full.
