Drove the car for the last time the way it sits today.
Installed a new digital 6 plus box because the old one quit firing. Gonna send it off for repair so I’ll have a backup.
Called F.A.S.T. Had the numbers on the ecu I have run and found out it was setup to run sequential fuel injection, individual cylinder tuning, and 4 different stages of nitrous. Guess I’ll be running a couple of kits.
If any of you have owned a 94-95 mustang you know that if you change the cam, maf, or anything else on these cars the computer goes stupid and cant seem to find an idle without a tune, or chip so I’m going to go ahead and install the fast ecu. While I’m at it I will hide as much of the under hood wiring as I can because looking at the factory bird nest is getting old.

Anyone here have experience with tig welders? I was going to buy some gauges to put in the car but if I’m installing the fast ecu I don’t think I will be able to use the ones I wanted and pretty much everything I wanted will be displayed on the laptop when tuning. So instead of buying gauges for the inside of the car I’m looking at buying a tig welder. I just don’t want to spend $3500 on something that I’m not going to use all the time, but would be nice to be able to smooth the engine bay, or weld in a cage down the road, or build my own intake piping.

The FAST setups are pretty awesome. I just installed a FAST EZ EFI 2.0, FAST Dual sync distributor, FAST E6 Ignition, and FAST E92 coil onto my step dads 1967 chevy truck that I built for him. It runs fantastic now!!

I used to have an Eastwood Co. TIG welder, seems like it was about $700 and it worked great. I am hearing good things about the new TIG's that Harbor Frieght is selling. prices look reasonable on those also.

Yea I looked at the new welders that Harbor freight has online the other day.
The Vulcan Omni pro 220, and then I was looking at the Eastwood TIG 200 digital, and Eastwood MP250i. Just don’t know which would be better. The Vulcan Omni Pro 220 I don’t think has been out long enough to have any longevity problems but then again its a harbor freight welder. The Eastwood welders I don’t know if I want a all in 1 stick, tig, and arc welder or a tig only. Not for sure but I’m thinking that maybe the all in 1 might not last as long because with more functions comes more problems down the road?

The F.A.S.T. Ecu that I have is a classic fast, with a external data logger that came out of Doug Mangrum’s Pro 5.0 car. I wont have every bell and whistle that the newer fast systems have like bumping in at the line or ecu self tuning, but should have plenty of function for what I want to do.

Personal garage, or you planning on runing a business out of it?
I just remember wiping the drule of the table while looking at your build thread years ago, and didn’t know if you were going to open a performance shop or not?
Thanks for the input on the welder, $2,200 may have to go used for one of those
