    331,347 or 363 strocker?

    if you plan on putting a blower on it, do it right the first time so it will hold up to what you're gonna throw at it. aftermarket block! I would personally recommend calling FordStrokers. a 363 should be the same price as a 331 or 347 and customer service is second to none... be advised that it...

    aboco mass air meter

    in regards to possibly running lean in Open Loop, I agree 100% and with that... if you are not going to get a tune then you should definately have a wideband (or have AFR verified) when you start changing fueling at WOT

    aboco mass air meter

    the car isn't going to run leaner using an Abaco meter. While in Closed Loop the O2 sensors are going to monitor how rich or lean the mix is and adjust as neccessary to acheive Stoich (14.64 AFR). Adaptive Learning will remember what adjustments were made and use them in the future when those...

    aboco mass air meter

    the abaco meters are adjustable... not to be used as tuners. IMO they work great if you already have a tuning device (or a tuner that wont charge you an arm & a leg for small changes). If you ever need to go bigger with your injectors you'll already have a meter that can adapt. Select your...

    aboco mass air meter

    I've used my DBX97 with 42lb injectors and now with 60lb injectors. all you've got to do is hook it up to the comp, change the template and load it. Only issues I've heard of with them is the selector switch; there are 10 positions that you can load and some have had issues when the...

    Another speedo (gear) thread

    check out this site: Mustang Speedometer and Transmission Gears you can look into the speedo gear hole to see what color trans gear you have, or even count the number of teeth. Most likely the speedo gear teeth got chewed or you snapped the wire all together

    Tuning information for 92 5.0 turbo!

    Are you running 13* base timing on pump gas? If so, you are asking for trouble with that much total timing at full boost (29*). Might be best if you are gonna run it without a tune to lock out the distributor at ~20-23* with 93 octane. It would be sluggish down low but should do you well at WOT...

    Timing Issue with A9P Swapped for A9L?

    10*BTDC "I know the A9P pulls in +10 deg timing in midrange rpm and +1/2 deg at WOT over the A9L" Not sure where you got that info... dont think that's right, but dont have my tuning computer here to verify

    need to upgrade fuel capability

    thanks, I've checked out Glenn's site several times. That's why I was wondering if I had to do the whole system at once... their kits get pretty expensive and they don't include rails. how did you wire your external Walbro's? Wiring makes me feel uneasy.

    need to upgrade fuel capability

    Been trying to get info on what all I need to upgrade the lines and rails but no luck. I know I can get rails with adapters to fit the stock lines. But is that really gonna do any good? I know I can get AN fittings with braided line. But how do I connect to the tank lines/fuel filter...

    tuning help

    Isn’t that contradicting? How is it cheaper with countless hours of dyno time? or even less time consuming? I'll agree that there is a learning curve with using whatever software and understanding all the parameters, but in essence, you are paying yourself for your own time. Yes, you may need...

    Rear main seal removal issue

    looks to me like you are only pulling off the soft rubber coating (in pieces) around the piece of hard plastic with spring retainer that actually provides the stability for the seal. You need to insert the screw driver (carefully) under the seal closer to the crank and pry outward towards...

    need advice on what to do with old engine (rebuild?)

    got the lower intake and the heads off. There was some oil in the middle of the lower intake gasket, thought that was kinda strange but it seemed to be coming up the bolt from the valley. Didn't see any breaks in the head gaskets. Why are the front water water holes blocked by the gasket...
