I was going on the spark plugs too but kept my mouth shut. OP - good ol' fashioned copper autolites, can't go wrong

I talked directly to the guys at Trick Flow when I bought my top end kit and installed it.

They told me they have installed this kit on many 302s and with true flat top pistons (which my '86 Capri has) is the best way to go and will deliver 360 hp at the crank.

They also said for this kit you must upgrade to a 255 pump, 24 lb injectors, 70mm TB and a 75mm MAS.... otherwise you're just asking for problems.

Don't bother trying to tune around a 155 pump, go straight to a 255 with the 24lbs. What MAF?

I've talk to summit racing and they said the trick flow was tested with 190 fuel pump but 155 should be fine.

Are you running a blower? 255 in tank and inline mostly gor blowers

I'd suggest a 255, 30lb injectors, 73+mm MAF, and a custom tune. Preferably have the tuner dial in the MAF transfer function before "tuning" fuel and timing.

That way it'll be safe and throttle response will be sharp w/o worries. And if in the future you step it up even more, then just a MAF upgrade (or MAF extender) would be all you'd need.

Your better off calling trick flow than summit. Summit recomended I use solid lifters on my build.
