I remember those days. Under powered, less cubic inches, and alot more money to make a 5.0/4.6 go quick (er). Don't miss those days. 65 cubes is not a mod, just better design....blame Ford.

Back to the OP's notch........

Alright no more 4 wheeling for the notch. Picked up a set of Saleen Racecraft springs, and me and my buddy Justin put them on this morning. Went on with no problems. Only worry that I had was that I have a REALLY REALLY steep driveway, and I was worried about scraping while trying to get the car in the garage. But I squeaked by. Overall the springs feel awesome. The car handles like it's on rails (in combination with the subframes) but the ride isn't bone jaring or beat you to death. Very happy with the outcome. Only thing I've got to work out a little more is roll the fender lips. Still rubs on the tire, in the front and the back. Easy enough fix. Excuse the cell phone pics, the sun was STUPID bright early this morning which caused the glare. Here's some pics:

Out with the old:


All done:


All installed got glare? :

After the springs are in for a few days, you'll see the ride height settle a little bit

J, that sn maf sensor made a major difference. it doesn't smell rich or stumble like it did with the housing and stock maf. I went up nolanville grade in 5th and slowed down to about 50 and lugged up it, to see if it would detonate or ping, which it did with the other setup. Nothing....just plugged right on up it.

Good to hear. Hopefully your fuel mileage will go back up some.. I pulled one of my plugs earlier and it looks like my system is running pretty good. It has a nice burn as far down into the plug as I can see. I'm gonna pull them all tomorrow and see how its doing.
