I've had problems with backfiring above 4000 rpms and low rpm missing, so I was fooling around with the timing in my driveway tonight, and my dad comes out and looks at it. He suggested that i change my autolites plug wires back to my ford racing wires. I did, and baby it runs like its brand new. Im still gonna go with the 466 BBF later this summer, but im so glad i can squeez out a month or two with the 5.0. I beat a turbo WRX from a dead stop, and some kind of riced out VW from a roll. Both were stick. And i beat the crap out of some shine in a chevy minivan that was screwin with me, lol. Anyways its good to have the 5.0 back for a little while.
