Yup. Fx4 says I need them but I hooked up a navigator injector before I knew the difference and I never had a miss with it,but better to be safe than sorry

How much more is it to run the solution thru them ? Actually, I bet they do that with a bench test.

Sounds like a great plan to acquire a good used set. That test tells all, and a must have. Best way for making a great product more affordable, you know? Since that test also probes signal/function.

Adapters, = good enough. Personally I'd keep it down to one connect vs 2. It's just one less thing to go wrong.

Don't EV1 and EV6 use the same ford terminals ? From what I recall, the connecter change happens after harness terminal. So why not just change the connector ? I bets it's cheaper and Ford connectors are east to change.

Anyway, I have a Ford Connector PDF if needed. Ford Motor Co Connector Catalog if needed.

IMO, it depends what your after. Do you want a good and reliable build or are you going to live part-time at the track?

The factory roots, - add in a little head work, that should suffice. Mudding, the occasional drag from the light...That sort of fun, - putting most others to shame lol. Arte you that guy ? You'll get that as long as long as your second main focus is gearing.

It be more relible for yuh. Yea, even with you, it should be broke down less ,

Muddin in the current truck is in the past lol. I've just been thinking that I have this great motor and running n/a isn't doing it any justice,so I'm gonna do some fact collecting and talk to some guys I know that run a performance shop and just see my best route for next time I get a little jingle in my pocket. These guys know their ****,they're turning out some of the fastest srt jeeps to hit the streets so I'll see what they say next time they stop in.
