    Car is pinging.. WHY?

    well I agree with the stock 88lph fuel pump. it was barely adequate for a stock motor. In fact, I am not even sure I would run a stock motor on that pump considering age and mileage. do either a 190 or a 255 and get rid of that bosch crap. I had those in my heads and within 3 weeks I had...

    can you get more power from a stock block?

    no it doesn't make it any stronger, but stroking will definitely help make more power. the stock block is good to around 500-550hp but a few guys here and there make that and more, but they will be the first to tell you that it is pushing the limits. you can also get a girdle which some say...

    Which intake would you recommend?

    honestly I would want to know what your long term plans are. are you planning on bigger better heads down the road, or do you feel like you have a pretty solid keeper for awhile? if planning for another set of heads probably the track heat, if you like what you have then I would suggest the...

    H/C/I combo

    hahahahah.......... :rlaugh: you make me laugh with your "First of all... and 2nd" thanks though, I needed that laugh. So let me get this right, you had all these parts "laying around" and you got it dyno'd a day or 2 before putting these parts on? the mass air meter, cold air and...

    H/C/I combo

    Bro, I am not trying to be an a-hole or anything, but rather trying to correct an inaccurate claim on your part. We went over your application in the other post http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=497147&page=1&pp=25 and we told you, you didn't even have 300 hp, which would have been...

    Need storker opinions

    you could very well be right but I wanna say that my crank came 0 balance so you set it up however you want it. 50 or 28

    Need storker opinions

    I had my 331 balanced to a 50oz instead of a 28. you just take your kit and balancer and flywheel in to the machine shop and they take care of the rest. My car is pretty streetable though. :shrug: However in defense of the above comment, streetable is different to each of us.

    Need storker opinions

    I've had my 331 in since Nov. and have about 7000 miles so far but I have no complaints. I don't drive it everyday but only because I have to drive about 45 miles to school each way. When I decided to do the 331 I had a rod knocking in my 306 after less than 18,000 miles, so when we got...

    Eagle crank&rods what kind of RPMs

    i think I have the street fighter pro which has a forged crank, the regular street fighter has the cast crank. I honestly can't remember. lol I almost bought both kits at one time or another and I think I changed at the last minute because he gave me a hell of a deal on this one if i remember...

    I guess i'm the new kid

    dude i guarantee you are putting down your "modest 320" or close to it without the gas.

    I guess i'm the new kid

    cool, i knew that there had to be a good reason. lol I figured that since you had a custom FTI cam, Ed would have told you to run 30's like he told me when I talked to him. I have a custom cam from him in mind soon as well as probably having him port my tfs heads. I'll probably get my new...

    I guess i'm the new kid

    Nice car bro. nice and clean. quick question though, if you are hoping for at least 310 to the wheels and are going to be spraying, why didn't you move up to 30lb injectors?? other than that, it is a very nice setup! welcome to the boards

    Junkyard TT Setup, Will it work??

    will it work? sure it will but do you have the welding expertise to do all the work yourself? if not then labor is a *****!!! the jytt can be a good setup if done right. ive seen the setups sold for 1200 with all the welding done already.

    Why are my headlights flickering on my 89?

    both of my 89's did that too, and both were the actual headlight switch to the left of the cluster. pop it out and i bet when you unplug it you will see that it is a little burned up and shorted out. that little plug switch cluster for fog lights and headlight is only like 17.00 but it has...

    5.0L V8 vs Rx-8?

    the rx-8 is only rated at 240 hp and it was running at like 10-15% less than that, which like mike said made most owners or perspective owners mad. yeah i just looked it up and it is only rated at 238hp for the 6speed and 197 for the automatic. lol oh and that power level is made at 8500 rpm...

    Ford GT40 Package add up to 305hp?

    well just for the sake of argument, I don't think you are making 300 hp yet, but you have a good foundation. I used to have a 306 with those heads but they were ported, an edelbrock performer intake, 65mm t.b, 1.72 rockers, b cam, shorty headers, off road pipe and it was making 335 at the fly...

    302 Rebuild or Crate Motor

    another vote against the crate motors. they are over rated in hp and inflated in price. if you look around the classifieds you could build the same crate engine even with a few used parts for alot less. the big cost of having someone do it is that the removal and replacement of the engine...
