    lightning install

    i was kinda going for shock and aw with this project. So the 8 inches of blower would help a lot. Besides i am could get the motor for a steal. The PI swap with a blower would probably cost me more i would think.

    sluggish idle / check engine light - had codes pulled

    With both those codes being thrown the mass air flow sensor or a low fuel presure problem are usually responsible. I would do a fuel presure check and see if it is in specs. then check your mass air. their are a couple ways to do that. the easiest is to unplug it and see if it changes the way...

    180 thermostat

    I just bought a 98 GT and was wondering how a colder thermostat like a 180 would affect the car. The car is stock except for a set of flowmasters. Some people have told me it is good for a few horsepower ,but others have told me that it is pointless without a tune. I am to use to carbed 5.0s...
