I know it's not in a mustang and I apologise, but this is still windsor-applicable!

I am offering this feedback as I have used these forums as a tool for a couple of years now to see what works in the US for the humble 5.0L, and figured if someone got something from it, it would be worthwhile......

I had my car finally tuned after replacing the valve springs out recently to PAC beehives and this is the final result

The "stock T3" note refers to the stock components that were used in this Ford Australia built 5.0L stroker- by all accounts it ended up with soem pretty trick gear standard.

Anyway- just wanted to thank you guys for your input and see what you thought of the end result- notice the temps on the day are what you guys would call 100 degrees and is so much sharper on cold nights- sadly we haven't had a day under 35 since it was finished- it is awesome to drive though!
