My tuner (Steve Lee @ ThunderAutosports) gave me a call today. Now this is through the stock AOD, with the stock VB and converter still. Seems the silverfox VB I bought off a guy on the Corral needs to be repaired- the manual valve body piston is sticking in the bore when torqued down- could be to much epoxy or a bad piston. Sending it back to Dan and he will look at it for me.
With the new top end- AFR 165 heads, TFS1cam, 1.6 Ford rockers, 30lb injectors and PRO M MAF- using my existing Explorer intake, 70mm TB, FMS shorty headers. Without any tune other than bumping up the timing and playing with the fuel pressure a little.

Afain, this is through a bone stock AOD, which is sucking about 25% of the hp from the flywheel, so we are at around 350 flywheel hp. If I had a stick, we would be right around the 300rwhp mark. I'm sure with a chip we can pick up some additional hp. I'm picking the car up tomorrow so I will report on the drive home.
Once I get the VB back from Dan, this car should run nicely for an AOD vert. I'm hoping for high 12's or low 13's before they boot me for no roll cage.
