Ok.. So now the car is running and is fun, but i have a problem... I need to get it tuned.... Does anyone know Of anybody in ny maybe hudson valley area , albany, nyc, etc, that can take care of my issue??? Im gonna run a different exhaust and throw on a meth kit. but this car is really fat.. the afr, as soon as i start to step on it buries the meter to 10.0 and if i go to mash on the gas it blows black smoke and backfires if i go to shift fast, so i know it needs to be tuned lol. My question is this, I have a basic moates chip burned for it and i also have a msd 6530. Should I get a chip burned to run my fuel injection then have the msd programmed for my timing curve? If so ill have to get a map sensor for the msd. (which map sensor a two or three bar) and Who knows how to dyno tune my ride so i can get the mpost reliable power out of it.. Im also going to be throwing a better intake on it.. Any help would be greatly appreciated,,

 

So I have a tubular gt40 upper and lower, I want to put a new intake on. should I put that one on or would someone reccomd a better intake to put on my ride??? I would like some inout cause i would like to do this asap.. thanks

 

If you already have it, put it on. It's hard to beat a Cobra/GT40/Explorer on the street. Best looking intake out there IMO.

Ok So this was a .030 block shot peened and magnafluxed. deck was cut .010 rods were shot peened and magnafluxed and ARP bolts added. Pistons are DSS dished forged pistons 8.5:1 compression ARP main studs with a Billet DSS Main stud Girdle. A Custom turbopeoples cam along with new clevite bearings. cam, mains, and rods. A melling high performance oil pump along with a canton 7qt pan. New double roller timing chain with a bearing cam plate. Im sure there is more I missed and will add as I remember lol

 

I Had a problem with the flex coupler on the crossover pipe. It had the wire mesh inside and I only used it for a couple months before it started coming apart inside. It restricted the exhaust due to the 1.5" opening after it started to cave in due to the pressure.. I went on a site my buddt turned me to and got a great coupler I think I wont have any problems with.












No more wire mesh inside to come apart ... NICE>>>>

 

now i have one problem, I have gone through two sets of rear control arms and bushings. Urethane bushings an tubular control arms. I am wondering which ones to run now since I have to replace the new set too already, lol I think Im gonna get adjustable upper and lowers without urethane bushings and drop those spherical ones in the rear, what do you guys think???





This was the first set...



This was the second set.. Both sets for one summer..
Any suggestions?????????
