bigger injectors and more cam is defiantely needed and u should hit 300 at the whell with no problem..maybe a cam with 230 degrees on the intake would be nice..what kind of gears do you have?

I believe my gears are 3.08. The reason i went with 24 lb injectors was because the factory 19 lb ones are good up to 300 hp an the 24s are good to like 400. I'm trying to pick out a new cam. my heads don't flow so well on the exhaust side so i'm thinkin more duration.

those heads have good flow numbers for no more than what they cost..get a cam that has more exh duration and lift (most cams do anymore) and defiantely some bigger injectors..you don't want them maxed at thier limit..something in the mid 30's would be good and another thing is if you throw some 3.73's in your stang it will make a world of difference..oh yeah and 75mm throttle body..

The jet chip is useless for your new combo, its not even re configureable.


Leaving this chip in may harm your engine

yeah that chip came out the day I did the dyno lol. a friend of mine has some 30 lb injectors kicking around. Maybe i'll throw them in there soon along with a new cam. I really could use some help with selecting one. i have 1.7 rockers so i can't go too big with the lift, and my compression ratio is only 9:1 so i can't use too much duration.

that is one of the things wrong and not soley the only thing, if you wish to be told what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear 255 hp will be your long time friend in that build...........
