Well I finally got it back together and tuned yesterday! Powerhouse Automotive did the tune on their 'lowballing' Mustang dyno.

Car made 296 rwhp 315 rwhp

aaaaaaannd, im 99% sure I've the wrong length push rods (on the long end)

was climing, but they were only twisting it to like 5200 cause of valvetrain noise

So, theres prolly a little left in it


Anyhow, thought I'd share. I'll put up the graph tommorow...just got some wrench work to be done tonite

that number seems on par with the cam you've got. I put down 298 at the tires with that cam...

Thanks guys! I've got 3:73s in a box...they just need put in

I checked the geometry tonite, I need to run the stock pushrod length. SO, I drove to summit and got the hardened FRPP 6.272's and took out the Crane hardened-moly 6.375's. It wasn't terrible, but the line scribed on the valve was fatter and favoring the exhaust side of the head. With a stock sized rod the line was slim, defined, and dead center....so I guess all you AFR 165 studmount guys, run a stock length with ford 1.6's heh.

They'll be in tommorow. I got home late and stopped by the g/f's and gave her a little pink summit t-shirt

Thanks fiveoho! I really appreciate it!

Congrats!

And pushrod length will also be affected by the cam for those learning....u should always measure to be sure its the stock length! If thats your guess....it avoids doing it twice!

I actually got them for free off a friend. I believe they are a cervini's piece as I've seen ones I feel are the same.

Looking at your C&C plates . Mine appear to be identical except that you have yours rotated 90* and left to right reversed from mine. Just checked with my installation guide and mine are shown as being correct. Oval cutout running front to back not side to side like yours. Notice also in the install guide your orientation is correct for 79-93 mustangs. Just curious. Anyone else notice this .

Interesting...I honestly believe I had them correct per included instructions, but I will check again tommorow. FWIW, its not exactly 'bad' it just won't offer the levels of adjustment if incorrect. I'll double check tommorow.

Good eye if thats true!

looking good!. another odd find- you should buy cobra headlights if you want the complete cobra look. either way, the cobra headlights make a world of difference in appearance!!

It's the next mod after the gears go in

I got the set thats in it off a 40k mile GT, so theyre pretty nice for free. The stockers were bad.

But I really do want cobra headlights
