    Still missing :(

    do what the others have said about checking fuel pressure and codes...also the coil might be going bad. as the insulation or wiring inside the coil breaks down it will still fire but will miss as engine load increases. there are resistance values out there for the primary and secondary...

    P specific headers and voltage concerns

    first off i would check your battery connections and check your main ground on the block on the drivers side of the timing cover. you could also try upgrading the power and ground wires on the battery to a larger gauge wire. ive also had success with low charging by running a secondary wire...

    O/D OFF light flashing

    that light usually indicates a tcc lockup problem....ive never seen it on a mustang before but the ford trucks (usually mid to late 90s) will flash that code when there is a torque converter lock up problem. i hope that isnt your case but just a heads up

    C4 no go....

    just make sure you have enough fluid in it like the other guys said. as far as valve body problems the only thing that would happen is the gasket could blow out....i had that happen on mine and i had no 3rd gear or you can get a stuck valve but im guessing it has a manual valve body in it...

    Advancing camshaft...

    depends on the camshaft really. if its already got a lot of advance built into it than advancing it four more degrees might cause a problem....but more than likely its a problem with the assembly of everything else....like a vacuum leak or something

    Best way to shift an AOD?

    i would just let the trans do the shifting.....ive heard of people doing a 1-D-1 shift....but i dont see that helping any in a trans that has a valve body and stall converter. if you really want to shift it get a manual valve body

    cam degreeing

    degreeing a cam can do wonders for a motor...or it can hurt performance and possibly hurt the engine. more than likely you should just install it straight up. but cam degreeing is pretty much trial and error.....which sucks because its such a pita to do on our cars
