My combination is as follows a low mileage 90GT sunroof car leather and all. I have a fresh shortblock unbored with factory 90GT pistons(which may have to go) my cam is the FORD F303 .512lift 288dur and 228dur@.050 with ford racing roller lifters. I have a set of 1970 mustang 351W heads ported and polished reworked with hardened seats 2.02x1.6 valves with triple comp cams valve springs with guides and stud mounted adjustable 1.6 ratio comp cams roller rockers. As for induction I have a gasket ported GT-40 upper and lower with 30lbs Ford racing injectors a 76mm c&l mass air for the 30's a BBK 70mmthrottle body with egr plate matched to the gt-40. also Crane HI-q6 ignition underdrive pulleys no AC or smog pump full length headers with side exhaust no cats no mufflers k&N filter 4:10 gears and a 255lph holley fuel pump with matching regulator(I dont know what I should initially dial it in at) upper and lower control arms and full length subframe connectors. Does this sound like a decent street car? Or over kill. I race occasionally less now than before I have 2 kids now! But I live in CHEVY country and want to pull away from a few of the chevelles and camaro's roaming around scaring the SICK 96-98 mustangs and some 99-up mustangs into HIDING! I am looking for tech advice as to what if any changes I should go with and any tuning help available. I am VERY curious of the power I can make with this setup

drop the injectors back to 24lbs per hr.30's may be to much.24's are good to 450 hp.19's are good to 350.your heads deffinatly wont work with those pistons with an f cam.when mine hit i had a b cam with 1.7s and they hit.f cam may drive the valve through the piston.
