true true i did drive a 4.6 crown vic for the last 3 years . iam trying to deiced between a cheap focus or a cheap awd car. never let a drunk person move your car, my buddy had to move my winter car and wound up tearing the front end off .

since you had a side draft is it true there a bitch to tune right for street use. ive been told they are harder to get right then a 4 barrel.

I had no issues... when i bought it it was off a "race" only car so it was tuned for wide open only.. im running 40mm chokes so down low its a lil less but after 3.5 to 4k it screams ( i have 38mm chokes but i like it wheres it at and i havnt dynod it to see where im making my power to justify changing them)...
From a roll its pretty quick. i tossed in different idle jets, smaller main jets and it runs great (havnt changed air bleeds since no wideband ). it was easy for me to tune. i did it all by smell and feel. not the best option but since it doesnt need to go much longer i wont wideband it.. it doesnt smell like gas and no misses so im happy.. transition is real good from idle to main circuit (i dont spend much in teh idle circuit though im usually always above 3k). it has its days just like any carb but i chirp 1-3 all day long. i was very impressed by it. It starts real easy, 2 pumps and turn key i dont even have to use the choke and ive driven it on pretty cold days. I would not consider it a waste of money.

Low impedance has rode in it he'll tell you how it pulls
