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?

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..

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

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)?
