    coil spring question

    I installed mine with a floor jack......very dangerous if you're not careful.

    Pushrods damaged

    By the way you describe it, the pushrods seem to be rubbing excessively against the guideplates, correct? That could mean bad guideplate adjustment. By the way, you are using hardened pushrods, right?

    afr's 185 58cc or 61cc

    I don't know about turbo's, but I know with superchargers it's a good idea not to get a low cc head, because your compression will be too high for boost. I think you made the right choice if forced induction is in your future. Maybe someone who knows more about forced induction can chime in.

    Lost 30 lbs

    Congrats on your weight loss! You're doing really good if you lost 30 lbs. in a month. For me, I'm trying to gain weight, which has always been a problem for me. My goal is 170-175lbs, I don't want to go above that. (I'm 6'0") Since high school I've been stuck at 145-150 until recently. I'm...

    which intake?

    If you have money for a supercharger, don't cheap out and buy a Typhoon intake......get a quality product from Edelbrock, TFS, Holley, etc.

    afr's 185 58cc or 61cc

    The numbers refer to the size of the combustion chamber. Going with the smaller number will raise your compression ratio more. Stock 5.0. HO motors have a compression ratio of 9.0:1. So they might raise the compression to around 9.4:1 or so.

    My current problem

    Either a bad sensor somewhere or possible a vaccuum leak. I've had a few bad vaccuum leaks in my car (due to bad intake gaskets) and the car runs like complete ass in lower rpms.

    Yet another Tire?

    Mines lowered 1.5" but I don't have 245's all around. I run 225's on the front, so no rubbing issues for me.

    No kidding/I told you so...

    The regular Performer intake makes power to the same rpm as the TFS stage 1 cam (5500 rpm) Perfect match.

    what will my incomplete setup run?

    With those gears, and that wicked of a cam, I think you may be disappointed at first.......get some gears in there (at least 3.73)

    No kidding/I told you so...

    That's really strange. Take it to a dyno or the track or something.....maybe your SOTP meter is broken, lol. When I did my heads/RR's/cam, I noticed a huge difference......like a 100 fwhp kind of gain. What carburetor are you running? What rear end gears?

    Yet another Tire?

    Way too big for the wheel. The entire contact patch won't even be touching the ground.....waste of money going that big.

    tailshaft seal

    Yes. That actually looks like a genuine Ford style seal.....non of that parts store crap.

    Gt-40 turbo swirl heads

    You'll be able to use the stock intake, but it'll be a huge bottleneck in your motor.

    torn b/w iron gt-40s or afr165!

    Those 1.72 rockers help that cam a lot though. If someone was going with a B-Cam, I would only recommend 1.7's (or 1.72s) with it......screw 1.6 rockers.

    going to the dyno friday.....

    395.5 rwhp.....;)

    torn b/w iron gt-40s or afr165!

    Another good thing about aluminum heads that I don't think anyone has mentioned is weight savings. You would save 50 lbs. off the front end (where it's needed most) if you go aluminum. In this case however, the other guys are right.....if you keep the b cam then you might as well get Gt-40's...

    another tire question - dont kill me.

    They should fit with a simple quad shock removal....if you have tailpipes, they might rub slightly also, but you can fix that easily too.

    Reinstalling heads...ARP bolts worth it?

    You use the thread sealer for the bolts that go into the water passages. It basically works the same as the moly lube, but it seals the threads.
