you should have gone with long tubes. dont buy the performer intake. go with a trick flow r intake or if you want edelbrock something closer to a victor

I havent bought them yet. Yes I will get either the trick flow tact heat or the R series...

But for the heads will the pistons have to be notched with the Trick Flow twisted wedge heads or the edlebrock performer heads? I know 170 cc is small for a 331 but I'm not going to be revving it over 5000 rpms...

Well, I can see that it has a gt40 intake, and the rest im not really sure but i don't think he would lie to me, the bottom end looks brand new bright blue. And of course it has the cold air intake i can see.

Yes you need to modify the pistons, but im sure they are already done as a x303 cant be sued with stock pistons anyways. And get 30 pound injecters, 24 is way to small. Your fuel pump needs to be a 255 lph too.

So at this time I have decided to go with the

Trick flow top end kit for the mustang

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TF...B/?image=large

But in my order I am substituting the stage 2 cam in place of the stage 1.




Also I am getting 30lb injectors with matching mass air flow meter.

BBK long tube headers.

I know the heads sound too small but I am not revving past 5000... I live in a small town called walhalla and I do not take my car to the track. I am aiming for 350hp..
