Default Buddy just built a 92 sluggo

Dont get this one. friend i work with just builta 92 gt with TF heads, BBK intake, 331 kit, cant remember exactly what cam, but 3.73 gears and dyno'd and 289 at the rear........WOW. he is gonna do a cam change but said it redlined at like 5800.... not sure how you can really know that with all the new parts...redline is justa stripe on the tach. im not sure if he has any up grades to the Comp or anything like that...just dissapointing.

Thoughts.....

Well, I'm sure he has one mismatched combo. It sounds like......if 5800 is all he got out of it, then he needs a cam with a broader power range/band...heck, mine pulls hard to about 6800 in 1st and 2nd and if he has the BBK SSI intake....that's one mistake...throw it away.... as for the rest??? ummmmmmmmm......needs a tune I'm sure after rethinking his parts selection.

I would hope that he upgraded the fuel system? Atleast a pump and a FPR? Need some 24# injectors and a tune.
