Ford Throtlle Position Sensors

Only use one sensor, providing the throttles open at the same time.  You
only need some type of signal indicating the general position of the
throttle plates.

>2) Must I use the emmissions stuff, or can I block off that area on both
>(this is a race-only vehicle)?

If you are using the stock computer, then it should run OK, but
disconnecting parts like the O2 sensors and egr will cause a diagnostic and
could cause poor operation at low speed and power.  Should not effect high
power levels.

>3) How about the EGR spacers?  Need 'em or dump 'em?

They will increase the length of the intake track for more torque, otherwise
you do not need them for racing.

>Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No problem.
