it goes to the "tree" of metal lines on the left side of the upper intake (if you are standing on the passenger side of your car facing the throttle body opening)

2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...

Scary,I just PM'd you about that.Thanks.My car has an Explorer intake,so the vacuum tree isn't like the original was.I'll hook it up to the intake and see what happens.Right now,the FPR is split into another vacuum line going to the intake.I'll mess with it tomorrow.I still have to pull and plug the smog equipment vacuum lines (they're plugged,just not removed yet),since I don't have smog stuff anymore.By the way,how's the Cougar running?
