Don't know if anyone remembers but I was suffering a pretty constant miss and just plain running like crap problem. I did everything I could without tearing into the motor and nothing seemed to fix it. I finally decided to tear into the motor and see what I could find. I found my lifters had really seen better days so I picked up some new ones and my timing chain had lots of play in it so I also replaced. I went ahead and took off the stock heads and replaced with GT40p and pulled the stock cam to throw in an e303. I already had the cobra upper/lower intakes so I thought that would be a pretty good basic setup for now on the cheap. I cranked the car up for the first time and it sounded healthy with that cam in there, really got me excited. Then after getting the timing and fuel pressure set it was time for the first test drive. I took it down the street and right away it starts acting up again. Now I'm at a total lost and ready to take the car to the crusher. The other night I decided to spend a little more time w/ the car and rev the motor while watching the fuel pressure guage. I found at idle the guage read 38psi and then when I revved the motor it would drop quickly to about 20psi and slowly rise back to 28-30psi. It is the stock fuel pump in there so I went away an order a 190lph fuel pump because I didn't think it should be that low with the motor around 4k+ rpms. Is that normal or was it good to order a new fuel pump. I need the bigger fuel pump won't hurt regardless just trying to figure out if it could be my problem with the car running like crap.
BTW - there is NO check engine light on!
