you need to start a thread in the 4th gen section with your questions, you will get some good responses there. like i said in the pm i sent lloyd elliott is one of the best in the business when it comes to getting what you want.

i put some 3 wire heated 02 sensors (25176708) in the car this week. so far it has helped and the car runs smoother at lower rpms. for 12v power i tapped into the ignition wire at the underhood fuse box so they only get power when the key is turned to the on position. used one 10 amp fuse for both sensors. i have them grounded at the block under the coil. there are two white wires and one black wire on the sensor. the black wire is for the 02 sensor (never touch to ground or power) and the two white wires are for power and ground, doesnt matter which you use for ground or power, i did however use the same (outside white on plug) wire on both for power. i soldered and sealed all the connections. you can use a 4 wire (94-02) and use only three of the wires on them like this http://shbox.com/1/heatedsensor2.jpg

How are the LE heads working out for you? how many miles/hours you got on them now? Did you have him port your intake? What is your RWHP at this point? give me a few minute sand I'll think of another dumb question...

Good, I've talked to him, just let him tell me what they do, sounds like he is a really sharp guy. Told him I would get back to him after the 1st of the year to go over some particulars. Another question I have is on the panhard straps and the strut tower brace. Can you tell me before and after effects, or if you think they are really that effective for body roll and twist? I had an old Nova once that we welded steel bars across the frame that were suppose to eliminate the twist, they didn't. But that could have been poor design and execution on our part. I'm just not as familiar with the dynamics of the F body yet. I'm sure others might like to know what you think the benefits of these mods "really" were. Almost fishing time, isn't it?

just put in a 18 hr day. filled the boat 1 1/2 times. the strut tower brace stiffened the front a bit the panhard bar i like for adjusting the rearend so its centered and it helped the sway in the back. there easy to put on and not to expensive so i put em on during the off season when funds are limited but time is not.
