5.0L (1979-1995) Mustang Technical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.

Can I use stock pushrods with this setup?

By lopey do you mean it sounds like it has a cam? Does the Idle suffer? Im on 19lb injectors with out a calibrated maf.

as log as it doesnt stall, ill be happy. Should I recalibrate my maf for 19lb injectors?

Or wait until I install the charger and bigger injectors?

the maf should be calibrated for 19's if it's stock still but wait to upgrade the maf until new injectors are in

Yeah it was a good choice on my part. Once you work out the bugs that is.
