    Harmonic balancer?

    efi pump has too much pressure, do you have a regulator on it set down to around 6-7psi? If not you are forcing too much fuel into the carb and flooding it. a better choice for a in tank stock style pump is for a mid 80's cfi pump that puts out about 13-15 psi then use a regulator to bring it...

    15x8 vs 15x10 prostars

    I used 15x8 4.5 backspace with 275/60's. had to roll the lip to keep from rubbing. I also changed control arms and removed the quad shocks. 255/60's fit without rubbing but were too short for my gears. hope this helps.

    Ordering a 2011 GT?

    Try R.C. Lacy in Catskill. Bought my 86 gt there when Johnson Ford wanted me to buy the one off the lot everyone in the dealership was beating on. Crossroads in Ravena was real nice when I was looking at 05's. Drove a Lime v6 and they called when a Vista blue Gt came in. Good luck.

    hi rev 302's

    If you want to play you have to pay. Make sure to have the rotating assembly balanced to live at that kind of rpm. nothing like seeing a motor shake itself apart.

    hi rev 302's

    no stock efi fuel shut off is 6250. do your homework and spec the parts to work together. spring rates have to match cam profile to sustain rpm. yes you could wing a stock roller to 65 or 6800 but it would float like a mother.

    hi rev 302's

    Did a small solid flat tappet 306 launched at 4800 and shifted at 6800. still running with stock roller in my Ranger. as long as everything is set up right rpm is not an issue.

    Boring out the Cobra..

    Find a good machine shop. It would be a good idea to have it balanced. Keep the compression ratio where you need it for your boost level. Good luck.
