Way to go Thomas! Get that puppie on a dyno and see what it'll do.
Also, you mentioned a few days ago that you plan to get a bigger MAF and
injectors. Not sure what you got in there now, but it's unlikley you'll get
much out of that. Perhaps only a few (<5 hp). Turns out most of the gains
from the aftermarket MAFs (10-15 hp) that the Mustangers were seeing were
due to recalibriation of the fuel curves (leaning out) and not due to
better flow. If you're going to get an EEC Tuner you'll be able to do this
the right way. And unless the injectors are maxed out (over 80% or so duty
cycle) I doubt if you'll get anything from that. And you have a good chance
of getting poorer driveability.
