Taurus...Mmmm, now you brought back memories.
I was a very proud owner of the mother of all sleepers. 1989 Taurus SHO 5 speed.
I LOVED smoking them civics with it.
The poor kids, they just didn't know their cars too well. :D

Well, I'm one of the ones who didn't know, so I went looking:

Good technology there for sure, but their cars do little for me.

When they finally mated an autobox to the Taurus SHO I was seriously lusting after that car. Mid size room with the zoom that would make Mustangs quake in fear (assuming that you could hold on and keep it in a straight line when you floored it, the torque steer in those things was brutal, so I read at the time)

i think those 170hp swaps make the car 'quick' but the OE world has caught up so it isn't as impressive anymore

heh, I didn't intend to make this a honda bashing thread, I respect the technology, I just don't like the cars.
My mods are getting close, should be here middle of next week.
I've got a lot on my plate right now and I want to plan this out as best I can, but my car needs to be drivable almost everyday.

I'm going to need a maf or mafia and an sct for tuning.
Any suggestions/input?
The kit is coming with 42 lb injectors/fmic and all piping.
Headers would be nice for the right price.

Sounds good, I'll call Steeda up before making any decisions.
Thanks for the advice!

do you know you your tuner will be? use a setup that they are familiar with. ie if you are using flo's tuner use the same maf/injectors/chip combo as him to make your life a bit easier. you don't want to be the guinea pig

I'm going with Steeda because they are relatively well known, and I live fairly close to them.
I'll be discussing the setup with them before doing anything.

Well, the great news is that the Procharger and Saleen suspension kit both showed up yesterday. A BIG thank you to ZXWsquared for his help!
Everything looks to be in proper order. The only catch with the Procharger is I won't be using the charge piping that was included in the kit. It was converted to FMIC and as such, the charge piping was partly "home made" and as such, just looks a little too "home made" for my liking. I got the kit at a steal of a price, and I knew ahead of time I'd be redoing the charge piping anyways, so no surprises. I'll go over that with the guys at steeda and see what they recommend.
The Saleen suspension kit on the other hand is brand new from Saleen so no issues whatsoever with it, it looks like a great kit.
The suspension will be the first order of business so I can get the alignment done.

Does using the mafia allow me to use my stock maf?
Thats the idea I get when I read the product sheet for the mafia but I'd like someone to confirm for me.
