That there is 1 out of 3 T-birds in his possession, Juan.

Those wheels look better on a t-bird than they do on a mustang, fa' sho.

The cougar is somewhere else with some nicer GT500 wheels i only owe $489 should get it out this summer needs a little work still mostly just a SCT tuner and Rear Springs and Window Tint and the rest of the vinyl.

Thanks Vettklr you might be right maybe FORD should of made the Cobra Rs for T-birds insted of mustangs. But since they bolt up to mustangs they sell a hell of a lot more sets of them.

lol kinda of sorta was not my idea what do you think will make the cougar run better?

its runs good but if you put your foot all the way in it does not wanna go.

Vettklr please save me some $ and tell me what other mods i should do?


ALSO THE WHEELS ARE UP FOR SALE OR TRADE SOON i want black and chrome GT500s or black bullet wheels. maybe will trade for some black FR500s.

$400 obo send me a pm if you may want them in the next 2 months or so. Its time to change them out there nice but i really want something else and i got them for spares and somehow made a full set and i wanted to see in person and show this town what they look like on a T-bird.

Sounds like you need a fuel pressure gauge and wideband gauge in the car to see what's going on. You got an FMU on that thing?

Yeah i bet that was me spoolin chevy since i am one of the very few maybe 10 people that even have or drive a 87-88 T-bird.

Jamey i got the Vortech FMU with the V-1 kit i agree you got a great idea there but Cost wise what brand and parts do you think i should get and where should i order or buy them???

Also if you have a friend thats 27 and never had a job in his life to lets see get a job othan than the lazy kid does not want to work fast food. If you don't know what a $1 is worth i am not sure why he thinks hes gotta get a good paying job its not like he knows what the hell it buys. Also i can't even get him to spend $15 on his car which he never had to pay for even gas money. So jamey think you can save me some time since i got this BS project which i have been working on for YEARS hes been in 800RWHP+ C5s vettes and even that did not make him wanna work for S***. So giving him a ride in your badass mustangs won't help either at least give me a ride because my brain knows and respects what its worth and does. I really need more cool people to hang out with because my IQ is up there and i can't handle this BS all the time. If you think i am a A hole maybe but i have spent the last 7 years trying to help someone but most of the people in this world don't try to help there self to anything but a few more dollars out of someone elses ca$h. Also i am not crazy my mind just never stops. Sorry i had to VENT but thanks because this always helps.

uhhhhhh....ok. :lol:



Are you running the FMU with stock 19# injectors? If you've got anything bigger than 19's, then yank that little turd off of there.

OK, with 30# squirters, you don't need the FMU.

The FMU is only needed with stock 19# injectors.





:lol: You know your giant sig's hurt my head...and if my head hurts, I can't hand you down all this vastly knowledge of Mustang junkl :lol:
