    damned...mass air mistake

    The most notable differences in the "programming" between the two computers is in the timing curves. The automatic computers advance the timing a bit further in the lower rpms and loads. My guess is just to get the car moving a little bit easier....but i dont know for sure. The may be other...

    brake upgrade input

    i run the MM stainless caliper sleeves...they are awesome. I dont get ANY caliper shimmy when getting on the brakes from high speed. They are the best 25 bucks you can spend.

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    i run the steeda # 18 cam with 1.6 rockers. I will tell you there is a substantial loss in low end grunt. Thats not to say it doesnt pull away cleanly from 1500 rpm...but much less than 1500 is shaky. It pulls excellently from 2500 clean through 6000. But the low end grunt just is not what...

    Oil pressure gauge

    The signal wire for the oil pressure sending unit is just a little cup that sits on top of a metal post on the sending unit. On the drivers side of the block, just above the oil filter is where the "log" and OP sending unit are located. Make sure this signal wire cup is making good contact...

    wasnt too satisfied with the first drive.

    good....and you're right. It will take a while for the computer to learn the new setup. Generally a few startup/heat up cycles before you start to develop steady fuel trims. Also to the poor bastaard who can't feel a 50rwhp hit of nitrous. thats just sad. I can feel the difference of two...

    Pro products t-body

    i have heard of this issue...i personally have not seen it. I have hear that drilling a small hole in the throttle body blade will fix it. I believe something as small as 3/16 or 5/16 will do the trick. Do some searching...i know this topic has been covered before. good luck man.

    ? about amount of HP my car made

    I agree with 25th and 5spdGT...the Dyno is more consistent than the track... The dyno may not be the best indicator of "real world power" because of how it simulates "load" but i dont see how you think the throttle man at the dyno is a large variable in the equation. You really dont think that...

    wasnt too satisfied with the first drive.

    I would suspect some mechanical/install issues here. I agree with those who said you may have expected too much. But on the other hand...he did install thumpers (worth at least 10-15rwhp) street heat intake (5-10rwhp) and full exhaust (10rwhp). In total he should have gained at least ~30rwhp...

    gt 40 explorer intake

    Im running an explorer intake and 65mm TB on my car. I picked it up on ebay for a total of 200 bucks. Im also running a set of gt-40 originals on my car too. They were milled .020, 3 angle valve job, milled spring perches, viton seals, new valve guides, and comp cams springs. I have a total...

    o2 extension?

    I have mine spliced in...but i have my doubts about them. I think when i do a full tune up in the spring...im going with some extensions. They are only 30 bucks...and i know they will be the same length. Sometimes its nice to eliminate some variables...especially for me b/c i do my own...

    When to rebuild the bottom end?

    I agree with the last two statements. I dont think open tracking the car right now would be the best idea. Have the heads been touched at all during those 155k miles? If you are starting to see trace elements of the bearings, thats a sign of problems to come. If the heads havent been touched...

    ? about amount of HP my car made

    Your numbers are pretty high too though! 350rwhp from an AFR165/FTI/GT-40 combo is not the norm either. Somewhere around 300-325rwhp would be the norm for an HCI 306 like that. I wonder how they are calibrating their dyno...or how they are correcting the numbers.

    408 or turbo for high alttitude

    I would suspect that a turbo car would be less effected by the altitude. They have been using turbo's specifically for this application for a while now. (Think airplane engines and diesel trucks) The turbo essentially creates its own "atmosphere" I would think you would have an easier time...

    ? about amount of HP my car made

    Im just saying...and i repeat...those are MILD 302 numbers. If i built a carbed 331 that only made 300 at the rear wheels with ported decent heads and a good intake...i would be PISSED! It had better make more than 325 at the wheels.

    The inside story.

    I have two stockers sitting around as well...i wonder what could be done with them. How much runner length do you think you removed?

    ? about amount of HP my car made

    Woah! I dont think so man. I would hope they are a lot higher than 270-300. Those are mild 302 numbers. It's a carbed stick car! Not an injected auto!!!! A 331 with ported RPM heads and a Vic Jr intake should be putting down at least 350rwhp. (If all the supporting mods are done...

    Intake Manifolds R vs ... RPM ???

    i would use the track heat intake with a 347. The R-series is way too much for a street driven 347 with regular TFS heads and mild street cam. good luck man.

    question, surge, dropping oil pressure, losing coolant

    That all sounds like good advice... I definitely think the surging oil pressure is directly caused by the surging idle. Thats the nature of a mechanical oil pump. Pressure increases/decreases with revs. The idle surge is most likely a vac leak. Check all sealed areas with carb cleaner and...

    top end kits for stock motor

    That's good advice...perhaps you might want to save your pennies for a few more weeks and re-ring/bearing the bottom end. This would not be too extensive or expensive...and would def give you some piece of mind after bolting another 100hp on the car! That being said...its really hard to beat...

    Low Oil Pressure

    The oil pressure mentioned above (50+ at hot idle) is VERY high. People seem to have this conception that more is better. But i think ford specs minimum idle oil pressure at 10psi. To the original poster....i would say your problem is normal of high mileage 5 oh's that have been beaten. I...
