    Two step and line-lock

    I have my 2-step and line lock wired to the button on my t-handle. I also have them each going through toggle switches on the dash so I can switch which one the t-handle button activates. I never use them at the same time. Unless your track is slightly sloped, there's no reason to use a line...

    How do you get the top cover off a T5?

    You have to disconnect the shift linkage and pull the tailhousing off. If you don't know how to take it apart, I doubt you'll know what to look at inside.

    AFR 165 or 185's

    Exactly. The E cam is a terrible choice for a blown motor.

    hooking motor back up and i have ?'s

    Again, there is NO ground wire for the starter. Period. You only need one wire going to the starter. It'll be a large cable (4 or 6 gauge) and go from the starter to the starter solenoid on the drivers side fender. It should be connected to the opposite solenoid post from the battery.

    hooking motor back up and i have ?'s

    Uhm, the starter doesn't have a ground. It smoked because you shorted it. Do you have an old style large starter or a smaller late model mini starter?

    30lbs onstock MA is it easy to tune and realistic?

    No, you need either a properly calibrated mass air meter, a custom chip, or some kind of tuner (Tweecer). The chip or tuner route is a much better way to go.

    Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial?

    Nittos are much better in the rain and last a lot longer. They don't hook quite as well as BFGs but at your power level 275/50-15 Nittos DRs would work just fine.

    Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial?

    They're perfectly safe for dry pavement. Like BFG DRs, the MTs will suck in the rain.

    Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial?

    You need a 26" tire. The 275/50-15 will be fine.

    Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial?

    It depends. What's your typical trap speed and what gears do you have? What rpm is your power peak?

    Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial?

    Where'd he get them? Jegs and Summit both don't have them yet.

    Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial?

    The MT ET Street Radials should be an awesome tire, but they aren't available yet. If you need a tire right now, BFG DRs are also a great street/strip tire.

    rev limiter

    That cam won't make power over 6000 rpm in a 347. The advertised power range is for a 302. The stock fuel cutoff is 6250. IMO, your power peak will be around 5500 rpm. As for extending your rev limit, the 6AL won't do that. All it does is provide a much safer and more reliable rev limit...

    Nittos - Water or not?

    Yes, get them wet before the burnout. Dry burnouts are stupid, plain and simple. With 4.10s, you should be doing your burnout in second gear. Keep the rpm up above 4000 and hold it until you see smoke in the rear window.

    torquing intake to alum. Heads

    22-25 ft-lbs. Torque the inside bolts first, outside last. Go through the whole sequence three or four times until they're all tight.

    Ford only sells the rubber hanger and metal part together for something like $20.

    which ProM to replace my C&L 76mm MAF?

    Wow. Yeah, maybe your tires were spinning on the drum. I dunno. You've got a nice combination going. IMO you should see at least 350 rwhp, probably more like 370 rwhp with the right cam. That cam must really be holding you back. What are the specs on it?

    which ProM to replace my C&L 76mm MAF?

    What kind of dyno are you using? Mustang Dynos typically read quite a bit lower than Dynojets. I'm betting you're using a Mustang Dyno or something similar that reads low. Have you run it at the track?

    which ProM to replace my C&L 76mm MAF?

    The Pro-M 80 is a much better meter than the Pro-M 75 or C&L. If you're going to switch, get the 80mm Pro-M. Pro-M has them on sale for $199 right now. Great price for an excellent meter. http://www.pro-flow.com/Sales%20Files/Sale%20Items.htm
