no it wont bolt right up to the stock manifold.
good news is ford tps has the same voltage as ours tho. just might have to do something for the idle validation circuit.
as far as boggy, the car isnt being built for low end. w/ 3" ic piping and a short runner intake mani low end is not gonna be its strong point but rather mid and high end power. however, even on x-man's car running an even bigger tbody and 3.5" piping w/ a short runner intake it is more responsive than my car was w/ the stock intake and 2.5" piping.
i had thought about doing a build up thread with whats going on w/ my car. but i had considered saving it to be shown when it was finished. i havent decided what i want to do yet.
thanks for the kind words!
