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?

Mods:
GT-40 crate motor; x-302 heads and e-303 cam
Typhoon upper and lower intake manifold
24# injectors
Vortech 73 mm calibrated maf sensor
70 mm throttle body
70 mm egr spacer
Flowtech 1 5/8" - 3" long tube headers
Flowtech matching X-Pipe
Flowtech terminator mufflers, no tailpipes right now
Ford racing clutch kit
a/c delete via power steering bracket
removed smog pump
Nitto Nt-460's on turbines
Beautiful cheese grader taillights
