This will be interesting to see. Be sure to post weather conditions, elevation of the track, etc..... when posting the results.

Thanks guys. I'm kinda learning as I go with this thing. I could probably tell you how to take a Bronco II apart piece by piece, but hey?

Now I'm torn between going with an exhaust sys or the fan? I'm leaning towards exhaust, something that'll give me just a little more umpf and something that if i wanted to, could wake the neighbors.

Sorry to bust the thread, but any suggestions on decent exhausts?

well i put on the tb spacer finally. the whistle was so annoying that i am not even considering leaving it on. in fact. i took it off after about 30 min. no mpg increase, however, there was a .2 second 1/4 mile increase. If you can deal with the whistle, then this isnt too awful bad. By no means is it worth $100, but it does give you a slight increase in the 1/4.

I thought the same thing but I do call BS if he really meant .2 secs quicker in the 1/4 mile. I'd die to be able to spend $100 to lose .2 secs!!

sorry thump and suzuki, it was a long night and im dealing with the stealership about the delay (2) weeks to have my lt handles painted. Let me try it again. There was a .2 mpg increase and absolutely no gain nor lose in the 1/4 mile time. Once again, a .2 mpg increase and NO gain nor lose in the 1/4 mile time. I got it for free and now I am selling it. Anyone interested p.m. me, it even makes a chitty paper weight.
