thats like mega WOT i have seen it a few times but lately numbers have been decreasing. the 94.5 to 95.5 7.3's were diff than the 96 and on models as far as fuel delivery etc. therefore causing a slight diff in performance. example

5 (my year) runs rougher than lets say a 96 of the same body style. i could go on so my rambling will stop here. but yes i have seen 27 more than once

I knew the 94.5-95 models had slightly different tuning but I thought they were de-tuned compared to the 96-97's. I thought they were tuned for less horsepower (215 instead of 225) but I could be wrong.

the best way I've seen is to wire a female connector on one end of the resistor and a male end on the other. That way if you want to take it out you just plug the two ends on the wire together
