On the ecc-v cars yes computer tunning is a big issue on the older fox ecc-iv. The ecc-iv will put up with alot. I would be willing to put money on it that the tuner will not magically find the missing 50 hp in his combo. I would be will to say he MIGHT get 15 at best. All thats to change...
Put the 460 in to, the weight isnt THAT bad, you dont need aluminum haeds just port a good set of stock ones get a custom cam, put a kit on it and run 9.50's all day while the nay sayers on stangnet are riving in jealousy.
I live in Fayetteville...
You do realise if you get a cutsom cam they maybe able to design it so that the valve events happen to were you might not have to notch the pistons. Like I said on scf give jay allen or buddy rawls a call. However it does sound like something isnt jiving in your tune...
Yea I misread it, I was talking about one of those crank braces that takes some of the load off the crank. They sell for around 1k so I was saying sell the s-trim and dont buy the crank brace and get the turbo. I didnt realise you just ment a blower brace.
U do realize the crank brace is around 1k, if its the one from the super charger store. For that money I would sell the blower witht that money and the 1k buy this kit http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=860447
I would try to find a used pro stock truck motor for 75k if your lucky, and even then it wouldn't be reliable with the solid roller cam. Looking at your profile and car domain site who is going to drive the car? No offence but with you being disabled as you are, you wont be able to handle that...
I am convinced you (5spd GT) just like to agrue. You had had this same debate many times on corral, here and other sites with the same results. Why make a new thread other than to stir someone up to get an arguement going.
