I should have stopped by here sooner. I'd pour everybody a shot, but umm.. yeah.
Do I ever need some tech advice.

Black 82 Mustang GT is coming out of the garage very soon and the 928 is going back up.
I feel bad about locking the Mustang up so I wanted to buy her a few toys.
I haven't tried this combination out yet, but I'm guessing maybe 280bhp with the new cam?
According to the Mustang registry, stock for 82 GT was 157bhp.

fresh cylinders 306ci with speed-pro pistons & rings,
(i read an article online about facing the notch on the pistons toward the rear for a little more sauce)
new bearings,
bone stock cam & heads,
aluminum performer rpm int. manifold (i think stock was alum too)
600cfm perf.rpm 4-brl carb.
msd 6a, coil & billet distributor,
centerforce dual friction disc & plate,
full-length bbk headers, (1.625" i think) ??
stock oil assembly,
competition subframes,
new optima red-top since she was good.

I picked up a hydraulic edelbrock perf.rpm roller cam (.520 lift) & 112 deg. lobe seperation.
(I didn't think .520 was too radical)
Am I going too far? She's still running 2:73 gears in the back w/ a 4-spd manual.
I need suggestions on follow-up products that should match up well enough to really make it kick.
Summit won't ship until Monday, so what are some suggestions.?
I'm holding off on heads & t-5 at the moment. I hope I can pull that off soon, but later.

01) valve guides (what should I look for? - I don't have any yet)
02) new push-rods (stock length ok?)
03) roller lifters (are they worth the extra buck, or should i ebay the roller-cam & pick up a tapper kit?)
04) am I missing anything?
05) new motor mounts (options? recommendations?)
06) cork or rubber gaskets?

Basically I wanted to know about the cam, but I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd introduce the car.
Is the lift too high for stock valves?

One more thing: I picked up a set of BBK 2" lowering springs, but haven't installed them yet.
I like the aggressive stance on slammed fox Mustangs.
How is the 2" drop going to affect cornering? Will she be sitting too low?
Shouldn't I replace some bushings while I'm doing the suspension? Any key points?

Shoot me straight with the oil system too will ya?
Once I get it in there, I'd like to leave it there for a while.

Cool. Thanks.

Also, how do you expect this thing to get out there and perform. ?
And if they can catch up, how many tickets do you think I can get in two weeks?

P.S.I.cho

as for the lowering springs u will need chamber plates just for the info, lowering the car should help your cornering, how ever i would check your clearance u may need to watch the speed bumps and dips and curbs etc

rubber gaskets
poly motor mounts
get complete heads when you do your heads

Be carefull pulling into driveways and over speedbumps. You headers WILL scrape with a 2" drop.
