tapped or roller? Reply #11 – August 05, 2006, 12:53:04 AM Supposedly 155 for an '88 5.0 SO, because of the fake duals. Not like that extra 5 horsepower means anything.Quicksilver, I can see you're already getting off to a bad start here, because you're triggering the "look, it's a n00b" response from some of the regulars. My advice to you is to take your time and not post so many new threads the moment you show up, no matter how enthusiastic you might be about your T-bird. Go to http://www.coolcats.net and read up on a lot of the info there.. most of it (all the important stuff, anyway) carries over between Cougars and T-birds, and is a good start for many of your questions. For the rest, do some lurking here and read subjects already posted on the things you're interested in.The more you push here, the worse the responses are going to get from the people here who are getting tired of the excited-young-newbie routine. It's not entirely their fault, and it's not entirely your fault that others have shown up and wore our patience thin.. (do a search for the user named "i'm gay as hell" for a reference.. although I think that was someone's joke account) but you'll get a lot further here if you cool down a bit and do some reading before continuing. Just some friendly advice, not trying to pick on ya or anything. Not yet, anyway. :p Quote Selected
