yea i did a little research and saw that but thanks for posting the pics. I have the track heat manifold. You think the R would be worth the money?

yea im finally going to have the basic full bolt on with h/c/i with a tune on the car plus with suspension tires and drag lights im going to be very low on funds. So around summer if i have money ill make a decision of whether i want to throw a vortech on it or turbo it or possibly a stroker.

nice to hear you go it figured out. and dont apologize for being excited about your 267hp to the tires. your car is faster than most people will ever drive. enjoy it man. as far as 320 to the tires with the cam installed i think thats a little much but you will def be up near 300. the car will be plenty of power. remember your in a 3200lb car. not a 4000 lb car like alot of the new stuff so u dont need all the power they make to go just as fast. when i first put my engine in the car now it was a ford racing crate engine, 302 with gt40 aluminum heads e303 cam trick flow intake 24lb injectors. when it got installed i had it tuned and it made 292hp to the wheels with a new motor. so i would think with your trickm flow and not knowing your mileage you should be right around the same, prob not too much more. maybe a little. but you will be happy with the 300 hp. it will be a ton of fun to drive and faster than most cars you pull up to. dont forget, power to weight is the most important thing there is. foxbodys are a light car compared to almost anything new

thanks man, i think you were one of the first responses when i had my problem thread up (might be wrong) the car was running like **** at that time compared to the way it is now. The car never broke loose just slid out a bit in 1st gear if id jam it from a 5mph roll or complete stop. Now at times it will break loose in 3rd gear. I was messing around with a 2013 5.0 the other night wouldnt say i raced him, but we took off from a light and i spun 1st 2nd and into 3rd it got wild so i let off or else i would have hit a street divider. I definitely need to look into some tires after the cam and tune. Should be throwing a vortech on her by summer i hope.
