Your rich problem isn't the injectors fault...either a bad calibration/if at all or something else is wrong...your car would not be rich like that and if it was you would be fouling plugs left and right...
raph130 said:not true. my maf was calibrated at some high performance shop and i have a piece of paper with all the technicals and readings.
5spd GT said:Then like in my post "something else is wrong"...or that "shop" doesn't know what their doing or doesn't exist
5spd GT said:Your correct...I guess when it says "new" by the heads it is pretty recent...I was not aware of that...cool...

raph130 said:and why is there something wrong? the same way there must be something wrong with my friends engine also??? cmon he has a fresh 302 that he rebuilt himself it had 120k miles came from a lincoln. while my engine is completely new.
raph130 said:i decided a month ago that they would be the best for me. good price and promise good power of at least 60hp, and in some areas outbeats the tfs heads.
5spd GT said:Your correct...the price is actually high compared to other heads...you get what you pay for...the 185's would be a bit big for your car and you could run into problems with the 2.02 valves hit over your valve reliefs...
raph130 said:prove to me i am wrong about thermostats and gears. i cannot count how many times i have read on summit's website and several mustang mags where they discuss mustang performance and recommend a 160* thermostat as a small performance mod. running colder than factory temp doesn't mean richness and crappy power.
cold air is denser and requires more fuel and the engine runs better and is more powerful. dont bring up this crap i dont want to hear it. i have 4.10 gears in my car and i think 3.73s dont cut it. i also can search on here and find a hundred people who even say 4.10s are not enough and drive them daily as i do, winter and all. i
n the real world every mustang owner will agree 4.10s are the way to go and if you dont think so get a honda civic. there are ALOT of mustang owners where i live.
raph130 said:according to my information tfs heads could have that problem not AFR. its a perfect bolt on.
5spd GT said:Lol...as I stated once again...if some members on here want to do a search for your name they will see where you were proven wrong...in fact a couple in this thread remember it...your thermostat and gear "backings"...
You having 410's (if I believe you) is your opinion...and I bet I could find 100 people on here that prefer 373's...so what is your point?
Quit reading from those magazines and read the "real world"...
There are alot of mustang owners where I live to...what is your point?
Again you just post to go against the accepted and you can't accept that...
raph130 said:i have never been proven wrong about that. dyno your car with a 180* t-stat then try a 160* t-stat. its been proven with real results online that prove cooler temperature produces more power. im not gonna fight about common sense. this is rediculous.
5spd GT said:Well personally my car runs stronger at operating temp...but the affects of the thermostat theory of yours go further than "more power"...you weren't including the side effects (poor gas mileage, driveablity, effeciency, etc...)...
And your little gas mileage theory is unintelligent...I would rather get 20mpg than 2mpg...saying to buy a honda is...when I would rather have my "daily driveable"...
You have been proven wrong...if one wants to search for you name then they can...
5spd GT said:Remember this post of yours:
"you guys are nuts. who cares what rpm your at on the highway. who drives a mustang around town at 1500rpms all day? please..every stang see's 5000rpms everyday. your not hurting your engine at all if ur at 5000rpms on the highway. did u know that ford tests all engines at redline and runs them like that for DAYS before installing into a car? jeez grow some balls people.
anyway, with 4.30 gears you can hit over 160mph. your engine will be fine at 65mph which will be about 2500rpms."
None of that is true...

Also remember when your so called "friend" started posting...you all only posted within a couple minutes of each other and had very similar typing styles...and when one quit the other one didn't post either...and no one had an answer for it...
raph130 said:gas mileage is unaffected. what effects gas mileage is your foot and shifting. i have noticed i get alot better gas mileage with 4.10s then 2.73s. i would lug around town all the time or be forced to stay in 1st gear around town because 2nd gear would end up leaving me at idle. now i can drive around town in 3rd or 4th comfortably if i wish. i dont get 2mpg. i get 23mpg. i have owned plenty 2.73 gear mustangs to know thats an increase from the usual 17mpg you get.
5spd GT said:Gas mileage is uneffected?
How have you owned plenty of 273'ed cars when your a teenager? Talking about how you like to humilulate ricers and all...
The increased revs will lessen the gas mileage and engine longevity...
raph130 said:first of all i didn't know the amount of cars a person owned is affected by age. and second of all i am gonna turn 24 yrs old this coming december. last time i checked your not a teen unless your between 13-19. i have owned over 14 cars. 5 of them were mustangs.
