Will this help?

Well i guess i should start off by telling you guys what i have first. The Car is a 1990 LX with full stock interior and suspension. The engine is a stock 1989 Lincoln non H.O. short block(flat top pistons), E303 FRPP cam, ported E7 heads, Cobra intake,BBK CAI, Stock MAF, injectors and throttle body, deleted AC and smog pumps, MAC shorty headers and OR H-pipe, 2.5 in Flowmaster Cat back with full tail pipes. The Trans is a Redneck Performance built C4 with trans brake and a 3200 Stahl and 3.55 gears in the rear. It has run a best ET of 13.39 @ 96mph on American Racer tires. I blew a head gasket on the passenger side, i believe due to a lack of fuel.I'm putting it back together now and I want to avoid this potential problem again if i can and maybe add a little power while i'm at it. My question is do you think swapping out the injectors and MAF for 24#er's, adding a 65mm throttle body an a adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Long tubes headers with H-pipe and a full set of slicks will help? If so how much? Please keep in mind that i do know that low to mid 13's isn't really that fast, but considering i only have about $3500 in the build including the car i think it's pretty damn good. Thanks for any advice.

Well, after getting the car torn down to the short block i discovered that the second piston back on the passenger side is completely shot and a valve made contact with the piston in the #1 cylinder so now I'm back to square one. I have found a complete '93 engine with harness and ZX3 computer for $300,that I'im gonna buy and just return my car back to stock for now.

yeah, We knew we were cutting it really close with the cam and heads setup when we put it together. When we had the engine on the stand for mock up, we actually down graded from an F cam with 1.7 rockers to the E cam with stock rockers due to valve clearance. I knew that with a five speed a wouldn't be able to run that combo, but since a have an automatic, there was a less chance in over revving. I know, I know, you can over rev any engine regardless of what trans you have. So needless to say, i bought the '93 engine anyway. The plans for the engine as of now are, swapping in my E cam, Bolting on my Cobra intake (which do not require the use of a spacer or EGR plate), and underdrive pulley's, The 64mm TB (for now) and im going to run the bigger MAF housing with my stock sensor and sampling tube, just to add more air. Im also still going to be switching to the Long tubes and matching H pipe. I have decided to go with a 5 speed swap instead of the C4, due to streetability reasons, the C4 was just not that highway friendly lol.Oh BTW when i say "WE" I'm referring to My Brother and I. I'm trying to get him to join Stangnet as well but no luck yet.Thanks for all the advice.

Stykthyn, i just might do that when i put it back together. Any other suggestions?
