Default pulleys+no smog+timing+TPS mod-air silencer=WOW!!!

Man what a difference. I removed the air silencer, slotted my TPS and set it to 1, advanced the timing to 14, added UD pulleys and put on a short belt. I'm amazed in the difference. It's like a different car. 2 weeks ago I put in 373gears and this feels like it woke it up more then the gear did. I will be putting in some shorties and a BBK H-pipe on Sunday. Then one day next week it's off to Custom Exhaust to have the rest done with Dynamax mufflers.
I still can't get over how good it runs.

You elongate the mounting holes making it so you can rotate it slightly.

My best friend and next door neighbor it a big Fox body Mustang guy. That's why I bought mine. My bad it's set to .999. He's the tuner, I'm the driver. LOL
Go easy on me I'm still learning the Mustang stuff.
