Also, what's the link to get my injectors cleaned? I might just buy a new set and send them straight to them...

How much of an upgrade is the S4 intake worth on our SEs?

I've got AAA Plus, where can I find the black magic fan at?

#, covered testing of compression and fuel pressure. Buy haynes manual, it is all in there.
#2 Before taking apart your complete induction system to get the injectors out and wasting moeny on new ones. Get the cleaner i recommended to you.
#3. At this time i dont think your up to the challenge to modifying.
You need to learn to walk before you run, lol.
#4. Reread post about where to get fan and use AAA.
#6. When in doubt read post replies completley,lol.

Well,

Going around testing my shift points tonight I've figured out to shift at about 5k RPMS to get to 60 MPH faster, I actually did a 0-60 in 8.9 seconds tonight, I can do better though...

Is it possible the 5th & 6th port isnt opening due to the big hole in the catalytic converter and the gaskets on the exhaust system being spent?

I've got a haynes manual, how do you think I learnt how to do the suspension, coils, etc...

I searched NAPA, none found...

Fan # thru Napa is 827-8069 mfg is balkamp.
5th/6th ports, yes if you don't have the correct amount of back pressure they will not open. Manually move them open and closed to see if they move freely.
you can also wire them open, will lose alittle on bottom end but will gain on top end.
If you want to get a idea how the electric fan will reduce inertia. Remove the stock fan clutch and install shorter bolts to refasten the pulley on. Do your 0-60 test and see if their is a gain. Do not worry about overheating because at those speeds
all the air is forced induction and the fan has little usage except drag on the motor. Just don't sit there for extended periods of time idling or you iwll overheat.
Also if you want tolower the cooling temp. Pick up a bottle of redlines water wetter. It helps the coolant disapate heat faster and is really useful under loads on the engine and in higher outside temps. It generally will lower the operating temp by approx20deg under load. Keep the stock t-stat which is rated at 180deg.

Attached to lower intake manifold on each side. Illustartion is in the revised section toward end of book. You just tie them open with wire.
Call napa for pricing on that #, make sure you tell them you have a AAA card for the correct pricing. rx7doctor
