Mike - What provision does the harness have for VSS? I'm curious, since you are using a TKO, if the computer expects to see the VSS signal...you know, how the idle stays kicked up just a hair until you come to a complete stop? I know cars with a faulty VSS signal usually have an abnormally long idle hang when coming to a stop.
I ask because I have both a TKO 500 and a T56, and I'm trying to decide which one I want to use. The TKO would be easier because I don't have to do any fab work on the car - and I already have the correct driveshaft. If the ECU prefers to see VSS, then I might consider the T56...but then I cant get a speedometer reading to my older gauge cluster... argh.
We actually change the calibration so the lack of VSS isn't a big deal. One could hook up the VSS sensor and it might help but it also might be imperceptible. Definitely not going to make a huge difference and we have yet to have any complaints on it as delivered in the installation kit.
In this case I'd recommend he stick with the TKO and not worry about it. I doubt it's worth the added efforts and cost in this case.
I set my engine back in. The alternator has plenty of clearance with the SN-95 sway bar mounting brackets installed in the fox location. Just one more problem solved.
I was told using a late model swaybar will cause rack turning issues and some rack stops would need to be used as well as other issues.
I plan to just use the MM sway bar relocation brackets and see if that will allow it to clear.
Here is a Better Picture. I will be making reinforcement plates for the Fox mount.

Mike, where did you source your AC compressor? Are the compressors the same from 05-11?
