Getting all the bugs worked out:)
Well, the poor Stang went back to the shop yesterday and I worked on the header bolts for a few hours. I took off of work today to finish them up. (had a really bad header leak). Got them all tight and put the locks on the bolts.
Also have been chasing some electrical gremlins that have been keeping me from getting my base tune dialed in. Replaced the front 2 o2 sensors, crank sensor and TPS. The car was falling off at 2500 rpms, like someone just turned the fuel off. Got all the sensors replaced and started tracing wires and connections. One of the wires on the TPS had come out of the connection. Got everything resoldered.
Fired her up and she sounded great. Now the scary part....the drive to see how she was at 2500 rpms. Got out on the road and she was flawless, slowed for traffic lights and she idled perfectly 950 rpms. I am so happy. Will probably be going on the dyno this week to double check A/F and such.

Break her in right! Don't beat on it, especially on the dyno. But sounds good, electrical problems are a major PITA! Good luck, I cant wait to see some NA dyno numbers! What shot are you thinking of spray'n? Progressive 200 would be sweet!

Oh believe me. She won't get beat on till she's broken in....too much $$, blood, sweat and tears went into this. As far as nitrous, I am thinking a 2 stage 150 shot.

A 150 shot sounds good! Whats the guess on HP? I'm thinking close to 350. The heads and cams have got to be making some serious power. I excited because ur setup is what I have laying in my garage in pieces! [:@] Need to finish!
