need help with 342 build
getting my 342 back this weekend and plan on putting it in this fall yet but problem is i bought a p.o.s. bbk ssi intake and need a better one. cant find much on if a performer rpm II willl be my best bet on a stroker. ive got z304da heads, comp cam 579 lift. 30 pd injectors cal. 76mm mass air. also need help on what to do with the computer to run this new setup. its a 91 mustang gt. best place to have this done as well. by the way the ssi intake is for sale if someone is looking. brand new upper lower and 3/8" heat spacer fuel rails and all 600 obo

i really like the way the performer rpm 2 looks, dont think it will perform as well as the trick flow or what. not gonna rev over 6000 and never gonna see a track. the cam is for strong mid range not high r's like i thought the box styles are for

Performer or systemmax! I've had both. I liked the holley a little better for performance but for style I like the performer! The holley is big and gaudy looking! You should definately get a tune though! The stock computer is actually pretty good but getting in to anything bigger than 24 pounders you will want to have some one put a tune on it! It will maximize your set up and really will let you enjoy the money that You have dumped in to this thing! No need to go to box style if you aren't going to rev it!

Go find the specifications for size of runners from the company web site. The track heat is what would be more useful. 70mm compared to 75mm opening. Took pictures of the two (Edelbrock-Trick Flow side by side) and there is only one choice available. Had a friend about to buy the RPM 2. Showed him pictures and he was disturbed by obvious difference.

i called a place i was refered to called motorvation in kentucky i believe, they needed all things i have done to the car like mass air size, injectors cam lift and lobe seperation ect. i was told that is no chip on these computers, if not do they reprogram the thing and send it back or what. also how close can they get the tune without it being on a dyno. first time doing all this so sorry for stupid questions just trying to understand what a tune is and how they do it. they said stock tune will probably not even run the car, might start but idle rough and might lean out but wont run for sure... i dont know, also anyone who has done this sort of thing whats a chip or reprogram run for a tune like this

also, i said screw it and decided to use the bbk ssi. its being port matched as there was 200 thousands dif. had it pressure tested and yes crossover leaks just like they all say. at only 20 psi brand new and bbk dont give a ****, as i called them already. pluging the holes for the crossover tube and running a braided line around the back. i think the intake will be a beast on a stroker if doctored up. best "lookin" intake i think
