745T-5.0 HO Tune up time- advice please ?


Hi Greg,

I appreciate the reply. Had to take time out for a kidney stone AND an abscessed tooth ! Get to have the root canal this week.
The exhaust came from Ebay: New system from an 03 SVT Cobra,150.00. It was chopped up to fit, the stock cats,ect. were used, and it's passed annual emissions since '05 or so, until this year ,when it failed(not by much) because the NO was off ( what's NO ?). The drill: Full tank,make sure the cats are hot, fan in front of the car for added airflow when on the rollers...
No codes.
Here in Snellville,Georgia ("where everybody is somebody") cars that are 25 years old don't require smog tests. I'm free as of next year,so I'm looking forward to maybe some shorty headers and a little exhaust tweaking. Any suggestions as to components ? I presently have a dual system(stock '90 5.0 headers ), exiting w/ two LX tailpipes side by side,at the stock tailpipe location. I'd like to get rid of the cats and have the duals exit into one stock Volvo tailpipe, or maybe an IPD chrome tip.It's not too loud now, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Thanks for the advice on the tune. I do use Techron once in awhile, and I have no driveability problems.The only other item is the AOD trans, which is performing...Like an AOD trans. I plan to put in a B&M shift improver kit and use Mercon V fluid, per some internet wisdom ( your thoughts ?). I believe I have a 3.73 rear, and the AOD likes to shift into OD around 1,900rpm...Nice for cruising, bad for any off-the-line fun, ans the other shift points are also low..
BK
