great setup , my question is did u change the disks in the FMU for the 24lb injectors? wouldnt 18lbs be enough? thanks

[@Wafflebrah21]

Try running some redline MT fluid in that transmission. Might make the shift feel smoother. My Evo loved the new fluid. About to put it in my other car as well.

[@BrotherTom]

Great idea. I was told the older Tremec 3550 and TKO have a 'notchy' feel to them. Compared to my Tremec T5 it is definitely noticeable. Thank you for watching!

[@hu9678]

How wide are the front n back rims?

[@LITTLE1994]

I like the Mustangs in the Fox generation. The SSP police versions are hard to find. The 5.0L Windsor is an awesome motor, especially when upgraded. What I want to know, because I have a '89 Crown Victoria (with 40 series Flowmasters), although it too has a 5.0, is it the same exact engine as the Mustang GT, just simply detuned?

[@BrotherTom]

Thank you so much for watching! I'd have to do more research, but I know for sure the 5.0L HO motor and the 5.0 differences are Firing Order, Heads and Cam. The HO has the 351 firiing order, different heads and roller cam.

[@LITTLE1994]

@@BrotherTom I do know the HO version has higher power (225 vs 150) and the same torque as the 351W the police Vics had. One thing I do find strange is the HO had the gray engine piece face the opposite direction, to the right rather than the left seen in the non-HO. But I think both are essentially the same.

[@jamesmartin3533]

Did he swap out the airbag wheel for an 88-89 wheel or did the SSP’s not come with driver airbag?

[@BrotherTom]

You are absolutely correct he swapped out the airbag wheel for the non airbag, adjustable 88-89 wheel. Good eye 👍🏻

[@vivid-_-jxtn3337]

[@doctormustang3166]

Hello, subbed for more fox vids, im new to foxes, why does he have spare tfi? Do they go bad? What are symptoms of tfi hoin bad? Thx You sound like Conan O’brien btw

[@BrotherTom]

The TFI is notorious for going bad when they get too hot and usually while you're driving. The car will literally just shut off. They've left many people stranded. Some people relocate them to get away from the engine heat. Hope that helps!Thank you for watching!

FMU is fine until you get into higher boost. My Foxbody has a Vortech V1 Intercooled System at 10 PSI and the FMU was screwing everything up.

@@BrotherTom I bought the car at 492rwhp on stock block, e cam, and Edelbrock top end. I'm switching to TrickFlow 205 11r c03 heads with a CPR intake and Elbow intake. I'm not a racer, I just love having that "goose" ability and knowing it's there. My tuner recommended the meth and I'm guessing I'll be at 550+rwhp when he's done with it. Look him up: Jim Riskovsky, Turbo Connection Racing. He has video's on the site.
