Engine Buildup Advice

[Scorcher2005]

Ok, here was my plan:
TFS Track Heat intake
TFS ported Twisted Wedge heads
Ed Curtis Cam
75mm Throttle Body
~76mm MAF
255lph fuel pump
Adj. Fuel Pump Reg.
30# injectors
and some other miscelaneos things here and there

Well, i currently have the heads and intake and picking up the TB would be no problem. Well, waiting for all the money to get everything is making me very impatient. I was thinking just of putting on the heads, intake and TB now. And then buildup the other stuff and then put it on. The only reason i was gonna do everything at one time was so i dont have to tear stuff apart more than once. But the benefit is giving me more practice. So what do you guys say about the route i should take?

Looks all right to me. You're going to love that Ed Curtis cam. I love mine

 

[Scorcher2005]

what are you runnin in the 1/4 and your hp/tq if ya know any?

Also, i asked about the route to go...

 

[Rick 91GT]

Do the cam the same time you do the heads and intake, it will save you money and time....

I'd go for the 80mm Pro-M meter though..

 

[Scorcher2005]

What type of TB - Edelbrock, BBK, etc...?

 

[bluevenom867]

I like AccuFab and Holley TB's.
Just my opinion.

 

[Jo_885o]

BBK

I agree...the BBK and E'brocks are junk.

hmmm, wandering away from main point of thread....

do you all say just to wait for the rest of the setup?

310rwhp and 351rwtq. This is on a Mustang style dyno. Haven't been to the track yet. Also, my cam is pretty small, it's ground to pass smog, and I told Ed I want it to make power from idle to 5000. I'm going to put a blower on it once I save up again

nice #s runningmole



As far as a mass air meter:
-how is the quality on pro-m?
-what size should i go with? Does 80mm sound right (obviously calibrated for the 30lb injectors)?

 

[Rick 91GT]

Pro-M go with a 80mm shorty plastic unit

 

[Scorcher2005]

how bout 30lb bosch injectors? yay or neigh?

They should work. I have 30# SVO injectors. Runs great.

 

[Scorcher2005]

heh, "should work" doesnt sound so convincing... i was more asking about the quality of them

 

[Rick 91GT]

Bosch injectors are fine, they made them for FORD

 

[runningmole]

Bosch injectors are fine, they made them for FORD

Stock injectors say Bosch on 'em

 

[Scorcher2005]

so does $300 (shipping included) for 80mm Pro-m MAF w/ filter and 30lb Bosch injectors sound good?
