super modification day. .some q's???
Today was 13 hours of straight wrenching... I have a 94, 5.0 and Today I did alot of goodies! I started off with edelbrock elite series valve covers, edelbrock performer rpm 2 upper and lower intake, 1" trick flow spacer ( tall valve covers) edelbrock elbow, ford racing 30# FUEL INJECTORS. edelbrock 70 mm throttle body, granatelli mass air sensor, and a bbk cold air intake... ( the one that mounts in the fender). I also put in the msd pro distributer. and autolite racing spark plugs. I am seeming to have a problem with the way it mounts up the bottom tube is BIG then the mass air is big , the tube that goes between the mass air and the throttle body is smaller, the angle is not right and it looks like a pile of crap... i also ran into another problem, my spark plug wires are not long enough. so i had to rearrange them and it still looks like junk so i need to know where i can get msd 8.5mm wires without the solid core that are longer? also Thank god I have a cobra rr svo hood..... that would never clear a stock hood.... I will have some pictures soon guys.. i forgot my camera.. this week is focusing on them traction bars and upper control arms... anyone know anything elso I should look out for or anything about that intake or the wires? thanks for all your help... Bob

You did not mentioned heads, I think you went overboard with the injectors, without heads and cam your stock (19lbs) would have been sufficient, if you install new heads and cam at least 24lb injectors. Anyway, with your regulator at least 35-40 and your timing at least 12 degrees. Now this is what I have on my car, but if we have someone double check on this please post away.
A reminder, when you start modifying the **** on the 94-95's the computer seems not to like modifications you might want to consider tuning and chipping it too.
Good luck.
