last night i finally drove my stang. I have spent the last 2 weeks with it all together trying to figure why it was backfiring through the intake. well, after checking everything, I took the intake (upper and lower) off and added a good amount of gasket maker (not so much as to block the intake ports). Well, lets just say I must have had a bad vacuum leak. It runs perfect now, and although i have the timing at stock 10*, I can feel the power! Hoping to dyno at 300+ to the wheels, what do you think?
