Okay, stock block .030 overbore, new eagle rods, forged K.B. pistons, Trick Flow #1 Cam (221/225 dur. @.050,.499/.510 lift), AFR 165's w/58cc chambers, Typhoon intake (port matched to heads),73mm C&L meter, 24# injectors, 65mm TB, 1 3/4 longtubes w/3 chamber F.M. cat-back.

I'm hoping for 340-360??
Where should I start with fuel pressure and timing (93 octane of course)
Once it is broken in I'll be spraying it with 100-125 shot
What spark plugs should I use? AFR says Autolite 3924, starting range?
Should I go colder on plugs

Any input welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
Wes

you should make 290-305 on motor and then almost 400 on a 100-125 shot

Should be able to attain 300 with a decent tune...as for FP I'd say close to stock, timing will be more experiment than anything else.

I am also going to guess that combo is good for somewhere around 300rwhp. No more than that though.

I'm with everyone else about 300 to the wheels! As far as plugs go, go with autolites they run the best in the stangs! Those plugs that are v and +4 and blah blah blah .................. well thats all they are is blah blah blah................ For the NOS run 23's. peace

Well that's about 345 fwhp by my calc. losing about 15% through drivetrain (T-5), so 100-125 shot of gas should put me in 11.50-11.70 range??
