Time to find a new mechanic IMHO. Shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to adjust throttle, and 75 -100 is way over exaggerated. Besides the only time you might notice any difference is at WOT. Hope he did this for free......

Zoera-sc7xxx - You don't think that this is dissin the mechanic? It is a public forum but I don't recall Sandy asking for anyones advice? It was a retorical question about whether or not he should do it.(assuming you know the meaning of the word retorical)  If you think it takes 30 seconds to adjust the throttle of a fuel injected computer controlled $40000 motor, it tells me a lot about your mechanical ability. Not to mention that Roush fuel injection systems are proprietiry and any hack with a laptop aren't able to adjust them, it takes experience, skill and permission from Roush before you are even access the software.

Sandy, becareful. With that extra HP you might go off the runway and into a field at the end of it.
If you do not need the extra HP you can give me some.

You know, it was funny. The engine dyno'd pretty high at the factory and I was thinking I was kinda the man because it was so managable. We'll see I guess. Gotta keep squeezing a tennis ball to keep the hands in shape for the next time I drive with you guys though. They were cramping up from a death grip on the wheel while keeping up on that Route 66 run.

Mike that was funny as hell.

As I said before, Hothead, I don't know of care how great your mechanic is, ditto for you $40,000 engine. This forum is here to share experiences and questions with members. Lots of disagreements and scuttlebut goes on here every day without bad attitudes toward commenting members. You sound way too defensive and angry. Like someone else said before, if you don't want commentary, use a PM.

Ahem, my original post was just a simple, hopefully somewhat humorous comment about something that happened with my engine. Perhaps I can just leave it at that. Now, how about that Michael Jackson memorial...

Thanks Sandy for bringing us back. I agree that this is a public forum and everyone has a right to thier opinion - that also means when someone disagrees, I am free to share my disagreement as well. i am not angry and defensive, but I don't care for people making comments without all the facts. That being said - I apologize to those whom I might of offended.
Ron
PS Sandy, when will you get your car back?
