jwgroovin,did you run it at the track before and after? I'd be interested to see how that affected your times.

Yall have talked me into putting cams last on my list of mods if not taking it off entirely.

Jon: Sorry to hear that man. . . thanks for taking the risk, though. As some others said it's helpful for us anyways. . . You've still got the best sounding 05 mustang out there!!!

13.6 at 105mphBEFORE, with Mickey Thompson ET Streets. Halfway decent 60ft, 1/8 so-so, was shifting 1000 too late on each gear.

Will hit the track this Friday (unlikely) or Sunday May 27th (likely). Too many weekend to-do's...

If you all talk nice to me I'll dump $1600 on heads and post another "bang for the buck" real world result!

You mean $2695 for heads with upgraded 1mm oversize valves.

To make it sound alittle better, Tillmanspeed sells his ownstage 2 ported heads for $2415. They have the oversize valves too like the livernois stg. 3's

Just an FYI - there is more to the Livernois stage 3 than just the 1mm ovrsize manley inconel valves. Just about every body uses them and make sure you are getting intake AND exhaust valves.

But what is equally important and you should make sure you get with a good set oof heads is new Titanium springs and retainers, new lifters, brass valve guides, and new rockers. Those are things you also get with the livernois stage 3.

Well I think longtubes are a really good idea to help open the airways when going with cams.
