Yeah man I plan to, just the gear install, chip, and custom program set me back a bit . Im hoping I can get up to the dyno in a couple of weeks and do a little tune session after my funds get a little better. I let my gas run down to like 1/4 of a tank then filled it up with premium after the chip install, but its still spark knocking a touch at really high rpm, so I think I need to lower my timing just a bit. Im going to burn this tank out then fill it up all the way with premium, and if that dont help then I will definately be going to get a full tune/dyno just to have some before and after #'s.
About your problem, Im with these guys above now, the only other thing that comes to mind would be the tps. I dont really think a throttle body would help a stock stang overcome this, it might even make it worse. This sounds dumb, but Im not sure what the heads on 99+'s are. Are they aluminum or did you just put some aftermarket heads on yours? Did it start this problem after you switched heads? If so then the new heads might be a bit starved for air with the stock intake and throttle body assembly. Most aftermarket throttle bodies use the stock tps though, so you still might have to get a new one of those. I think the ford motorsport 70mm tb comes with a new tps Im not sure
Thats all I can come up with for now lol, gotta get ready for work
