Damn... that's gotta suck. Think that's covered under warranty? lol

Although I must say, I was a bit disappointed to see it only put out 305RWHP. Well, of course when it was running... lol

Bah... that kind of thing obviously only happens to Fords.

At least there wasn't the problem that imports have... their floorboards fall off after spraying nitrous from two big bottles, or so the movies tell me.

And yes, you say you don't plan on it now... but I know you, you won't want to be the last kid on your block spraying the hell outta your car at the track either. So we'll see how long that statement holds up.

I don't like fords, but that does suck. I had a freshly rebuilt engine blow up on me when I was still in it one time. That scared the dickens out of me. I feel bad for that guy. Fortunately he was not driving at the time.

Now I am a bit nervous about the setup I just installed from Ryan.

Looks like that Ford had fuel puddling in the intake manifold and then it went BOOM... you wouldn't have to worry about that with a dry kit, Howard.
