Not Ranked
Thanks for the advice guys, I'm just a little frustrated with the way this thing has been going. It's been one step forward and two steps back during this whole upgrade.
Steve, thanks for the recommend on Lone Star. I have used them for my Mustang and have been pleased, though I have heard problems reported by others.
Matt, it's a pretty stock setup, standard 91 5.0L block with stock cam and heads. I've got roller rockers on it, but other than the new intake, computer, fuel and ignition, it's pretty much stock. It probably would have been easier (and cheaper) to go with the Webers, but at this point I'm a little too far down the road.
The latest problem I've been having is that it runs fine for a while, then starves itself off (like it's running out of gas) and won't start. The last time it ran, I was idling it in my driveway and it ran fine. I let it sit until it got up to about 175 degrees, then took it around the block. I got one street away and it stalled out and I had to push it home.
John, I tracked down Bob at his shop in Garland and left a couple of messages, no reply from him. I'm sure he's really busy with the race cars.
