    Holley Systemax lower. New sensors, new o-rings on the injectors, and cleaned up the fuel rail (ooh shiny) and a new thermostat. Still waiting on the FPR to come in the mail. Then one more fitting and it's ready to go.

    1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

        It's gotta be at least a bit better than the stock one. Good for another couple ponies maybe?

            hmm... me thinks MAF HO would LOVE that lower. Me thinks the Lincoln would benefit muchly.

              I'm thinking about any engine running the stock lower would benefit from it.

                I wonder how much, if any, it would shift the power curve.
