Better Throttle Response

[flareside_thunder]

I want some better throttle response outta my 5-0 mass air. Is there anything I can do to it to get what I want? I'm referring to not putting in different gears, a stall converter, or camshaft. It just seems like it has more hesitation than it should. Also I understand the engine needs to breathe and whatnot which is why I've got a 56mm TB, shorty headers with straightpipes; however I think the TB may be choking my lowend a bit. Is it not out of the realm of possibility to make my intake tube smaller? Right now my rubber corrugated intake house has been replaced with a piece of 3 inch PVC pipe. I'll get some pics. Thanks in advance.

Some people may think this an idiotic idea, but a e-fan will do it!!!

That's strange it's been over 100* here and mine never gets higher than the"O" in normal!!!

Mind you at that time I was using a rnager electric fan...and I didn't notice a difference.

I noticed a big difference, but mostly at highway speeds!!!

The ranger fan was likely too small!!

Yea no doubt....I've got a 4 core aluminum I need to swap in as well. But it's a pain trying to track down an electric fan from a Taurus.

Just stroll through the yard and check everything you see. You never know what will have an e-fan in it!!!

One yard's a ripoff and the other just crushed everything he had.

T-bird fans are PLENTIFUL in my neck of the woods. Hell I've even got a spare sitting in my garage.

Okay back to OT...would a CAI cone filter help?

[flareside_thunder]
