Are you running stock electronics? No tuning device i.e. PMS or chip? I don't remember what intake you are running. But a good intake, tuning equipment, full-length Headers should definitely get 20 more horsepower
I had moss port my ho lower and I removed the pre-cats on the stock h-pipe and I picked up 23 hp.Stock electronics, there is a chip though. I already reached out to tmoss about porting an explorer intake I picked up ($45). I think I want to keep something with a longer runner for the low end torque. Tuner recommended staying with the gt40 style intake if it is only a street car. He said if I am looking for a higher HP number go for a systemax II with a power pipe.
Oh and congrats on your build btw
We've all been there! Should be a solid fun driver. And I wouldn worry about the "numbers". They don't mean much.Thanks man, it was a little frustrating at times, but I was lucky and most of the hiccups were just minor. Although I probably acted like they were the end of the world

What heads are you using again? I've got the "ass wag" too, it did it to me a little today in 3rd gear. Guess we need new lower control arms? I hear ya about the frustration part, the nite before my original dyno appointment she wouldn't start and it took me a bit to get everything running good again. Me and my learning curve.... It is a pretty cool hobby though huh boys?The only numbers are care about are the number of times it puts a smile on my face, and that is every time I drive it right now. I was able to finally rip all the way through the first three gears today. I laughed like a mad man while I eased off of it and cruised away. I shifted at a little above 5500 each time and it was still pulling hard. I had to back off it a little after the 1 to 2 shift to avoid a crazy side ways condition.
I am glad we are having some warm weather in New England. I get to enjoy it a little more until it's time to put it to bed for winter.

Yeah I gotta address the azz end, I still have the gillion mile stockersTFS 170s. I actually do have hotchkis upper and lower control arms. Much better than stock and squats pretty nicely.
