Special thanks to my father for all of his help and knowledge on windsor engines. And thanks to my brother for inspiring me to go balls deep into this car. I dedicate it to him
Mod list is in the description of the video and in my signature.

Nice, slap a 65mm throttle body and spacer on there. Sounds great.

What all did you have to do to get it running right? I thought i remembered a thread you had with codes.

This is how it looks now, except I put some wire sleeve on the MAF wires.

I ended up adjusting the idle, and the car began to run much more smoothly. I ultimately decided that I'm not running rich because I have no cats or lers (off-road pipe and glasspacks), so there's simply no filtration and its smelly.

You've converted to MAF correct? If so get the breather off the oil fill tube and just run a standard cap. The breather causes an un-metered air condition which causes lean issues on MAF cars. Just run the standard cap and a line from the nipple on the oil fill tube to the fitting on the throttle body.

Nice Man! That's a sleek engine bay. Is that the BBK fenderwell? I got the SR performance fender well. Yours is really
clean.
This is actually also an SR fender CAI. I purchased it in black.

The vidya seems like it's idling high then going low. IMHO it should always be at the lower end.

I took the car to Pro Dyno in Fort Mill, SC. The car is running lean and needs a tune. But I'm happy with the performance.

I was actually just in town last Friday-Monday, but I probably won't be back until the first week of May. I made a stop at the Charlotte Motorists Club meet at UNCC on Sunday night. Ever hear of it?

I haven't, actually. The only car group I've met up with in the area is the Charlotte Muscle Car Group from meetup.com.
