Maybe 270hp after its all running good. I doubt its going to idle very well. This is an old school combo, what made you pick these parts?

I would say put the stock maf on there. I had a idle/low load bucking issue when I ran a C&L for 24's. I got the tweecer with a J4J1 base tune and went back to the stock maf and night and day better drivability.

Okay. I notice the bucking issue already...I had it for couple days. Ever since i upgraded my fuel regulator and put oil separator it has been little weird...

May be my plugs are going out??? I got denso iridiums in there(don't worry i didn't buy these...they are like $13 per plug)

I already had these parts and combo from my last car and my buddy's old car so that's why i chose them. "FREE" parts are always good right?

AND my friend had almost exact combo but he has TRICK FLOW heads and TRICK FLOW stage1 cam. TRICK FLOW rockers. basically the 350 kit. Everything else is identical. So i am itching to find out how much he will "SMOKE" me by.

If i get "SMOKED" really bad...I will go AFR with Crower custom cam.

Click to expand...

Id pin that on the C&L Meter, my 95 GT never ran right w/ one of those on it. Not saying its your exact problem but it could have something to do with it.

DUDE!!! I fired...Fired right up. Everything is fine EXCEPT my car sounds really "Bumpy". I like it. Didn't sleep yet... Was up all night working on the car.

It idles "NOT SO GOOD". Car sounds like it's about to die. I left the C&L alone for now. I think my roller rockers are still hitting the valve cover inside somewhere...

How much do i have to grind this thing...@$%%!!! !@#$!!! i am already getting sick of this valve covers!!! So i gotta take top half off again...

Anyone in here have valve covers already ground down for these rockers? because i would so BUY ONE RIGHT NOW!!!

Does the trick flow valve covers come with holes or no? Do they clear these rockers?

Thanks and please let me know

The trick flow valve covers do not come with holes I checked. The Ford Racing ones do but they only come in the tall version as far as I know. Try turning the C&L meter it may make it idle better, they are finicky
