RE: speed density
sd is good but eventually you will have to lose the stock ecu. you can max the stock config so far and that is it . the stroker i am planning on building is going carb!

RE: speed density
well the bread box intake is a part of it ,if you have 24#injectors that is a big part of it as stock sd is only compatable with 19# and no bigger .are you useing stock sd or a stand alone efi.

RE: speed density
I have a question. I have never dealt with SD and i just got an 87 5.0 notch 5 speed with SD. I was considering switching to MAF. If I am looking to run around 350 hp what should I do? I will be changing heads and upper/lower intake along with a basic rebuild(pistons, rings, gaskets, etc.) How hard is it going to be with an SD setup? Any help is appreciated.

RE: speed density
themost important things to remember with sd is the cam lobe seperation must maintain 114 degrees seperate and 19# injectors is the biggest you can run with stock sd .and that nos is our friend with sd

RE: speed density
I have never messed with NOS. What would be an appropriate shot? Can I get around 350 hp without nos with the stock SD? If so what mods should I start with? I was planning on gt40 heads, explorer upper and lower. I would like to go with a cam too. Also what cam can I run? Sorry about all the questions. I have a lot of experience with diesel and chassis but not aftermarket.
