I just meant boost/fuelling etc? Can you check that? Obviously engine was running full chat in the escort but wondered what you do when you move to this car?

cheers guys
chop, i wouldnt do any top speed runs in it unless it was checked, but fuel pressure etc has been checked, and its running same fuel system etc from the old escort
neil that was a 7 1/2" 2wd diff it shredded, should have the 9" diff this week according to barra
need to find a diff mount for it though, anyone who has one or knows one for sale let me know
