SHould be arriving today, probobly won't be installing them till tomorrow, but would like to do it tonight if I can. My t-stat went bad last week when I was racing my room mate in his CRX, so I also need to do that and an oil change is also in order. So I may wait till this weekend and just do it at my parents place.

Your T-stat stuck or something? That would suck if it stuck shut and you didn't notice the temp rising.2000 Mustang GT "Blondie", 2000 CVPI "Sargent Crusty"Comment

It's a Ford, our t-stats fail open.
:-( no I did not beat the CRX. But I am not ashamed as he has done an engine swap, carbon fiber hood (not for looks but for durability and weight), major weight reduction in the form of removed parts, roll cage, tons of suspension work, and he was running his 9" wide racing tires when we raced. This CRX, though street legal is about like Duce's Vic, it can go on the street but it is not really suited for it. Was pretty eaven up to 65 where my injectors really show off how fucked they are.

You shouldn't be ashamed. A CRX like that sounds like a very fast car. It should say something about how fast your vic really is. Good luck with the injectors mang.Nick

I've never had a thermostat actually completely go. They just get sticky on me and you can watch the temp creep to the point where its a bit hot, then suddenly it pops open and drops like 30 degrees. One on the truck did that to me a few years ago, it would creep to about 215, then drop to 160.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Well, the T-stat was fine. It was my temp gauge that was dieing. grrrr....
Got the injectors installed and it runs much smoother. However, my god dang lag is still there!!!! So back to the diag board for the lag issue. I'll upload some pics of my Ford Racing "High Flow" inectors...yeah, they are identical to what I had stock Denso conical jet injectors.Comment

Same here....Originally posted by mrltd
I had one fail on the 347" last year.....
Noticed it right away as the temp gauge just kept going up, and that engine is set up to run pretty cool...."Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit"Comment
