    Looks really good, I know how much work can go into something like that with the EFI and all. The only thing that catches my eye is those red wires on the left with what appears to be a bunch of crimp on splices. Soldering and heat shrink would be a better way to go about that. At the very least I would tape the crap out of it to make it blend in a little better and prevent moisture from getting in the crimp connectors.

    That's an older pic.. It's all clean and wire loomed now.. As for the throttle cable I'm using the factory mustang cable.. It clips in the stock maverick pedal..
