Yeah, I told the guy who built itthat the Cartech intake is for a blower after reading it on this site when I picked the car up but, it seems to run well with it.
I added a pic of the interior, it's got the gauge pod with the phantom tach , a CD, PW's air , the car is all new.. well allmost the rear seats a little faded by the sun in a previous life, used to be a 4 banger..

That cougar was allright, very solid car, rust free DSODallas car, sort of a GTE clone. I was sick of it though, I figureif I'm only going to get 10 MPG's @ least I want a car that could maybe run high 12's not 15's
