The CVN guys say the "MZT" is the next mod I should do (M= Marauder or 04-06 CVPI P71 Airbox with larger MAF, Z= 04-06 CVPI P71 Zip Tube {from MAF to throttle body}, and T =Tune). Except it's $300 for the MZ parts and $400 for tuner and another $200 for the tune! All for what, 10HP maybe?

I think I'd rather spend $100 on a EECV edit that I can use on my laptop to tune with, run E85 with a ton-of-timing, and a $230 K&N FIPK CAI.

But then I start thinking of 125 shot wet kits for $200...

Well, I *finally* took the Porter-Cable to the 'Vic's paint. Not anywhere close to how I want the paint yet, but at least it's looking better and you can't see the "ghosts" of the State Police lettering/striping.

Thanks!

The switch was for turning the brakelights off (or something like that, ask V8Demon, he knew). It wasn't connected in my car.

FYI the GoRhino push bars are very nice.  They even offer a full wraparound model that is pretty easy to install.
88 TC, Lots of Mods.

Well in my quest to whip a 14 out of this boat on the second try I did a little work on it today. Installed the 180* T-stat (the original 192* Motorcraft was still in there!), FLUSHED the coolant (looked like somebody tried to mix the orange and green, I flushed with water, added green, and then a half bottle of Royal Purple's Purple ICE), and changed the serpentine belt (again, still on the original). I also crawled under the car and changed the fuel filter.

Test drive went well, it comes up to temp quicker (because a 180* thermostat opens before a 192* duh ), and it does seem to have a little more get-up according to the butt-o-meter. So now all of the under-hood fluids are good to go and everything is ready for drag racing on Friday.

I am still chasing the horn problem. It'll pop the horn/cruise fuse as soon as you touch the horn, but if you don't touch the horn the cruise won't blow the fuse. Any ideas?
