Performance:

As of now everything is stock with a few exceptions. A MSD coil pack has been added along with a Weapon R intake tube. To complete the intake a K&N cone filter was purchased. A 2.0L throttle body from a 1997 Escort sedan, which flows 33% more air over stock. The valve cover gasket was repalced and in the process the valve cover was painted Ford blue then the lettering was sanded back to bare metal. A TWM short shifter along with CorkSport bronzoil shift bushings, and ES shift stabilizer bushing has been added.

As of 9-14-09

I have upgraded my plug wires to 9mm Ford Racing ones. The wires are made for a '96 Mustang Gt. Some of the wires are a little long, but I was able to shorten them. Also I fabbed up a heat shield for the intake out of some sheet aluminum. A air/oil separator was added inline on the pcv system to help keep the intake manifold cleaner. After 476 miles about 8.5mL of oil has been recovered so far.
