Hey gents, I'm looking for some advice. I'm an old fart from the days of carburetors and distributors. I'm helping my kid out with his 1995 mustang project. We need to keep the insurance reasonable, so we opted to stay with a V6. We've installed a newer block from a 2001 stang, some warmed up supercoup heads, a mild cam, and an intake that has been opened up considerably.
The whole thing went together without a hitch and were looking to make some additional improvements.
Probably the biggest issue right now is that the ECU is controlling the idle at about 550 rpm. The engine runs at 550, but we would like to see idle at about 800 rpm to smooth things out. Is the ECU controlled idle adjustable at all or do we need to get a chip burned to adjust this. Who will burn us a chip and what info do they need to get the job done?
We need to modify the throttle body. The intake opening is about 5/16 larger than the throttle body. We would like to bore the throttle body and make a new throttle plate to improve air flow into the engine. Any ideas? Is there a bolt on OEM part that will do this? Or maybe an aftermarket supplier?
We still have the single exhaust, so we're looking to open that up as well. Any recommendation on getting this done . . . at a reasonable cost.
