Re: Springs for V8

Thank you sir!
These are new springs all around.
I started with a stock 87' Tbird 5.0 (dished piston) low mile block. I added rebuilt GT40P heads and Scorpion roller rockers (stock ratio). I used a stock new HO cam & roller lifter setup. Then I added the explorer top end and 65mm throttle body. Since I stuck with speed density, I used 21# injectors to try to make up for the added airflow. Still learning this stuff, so not exactly sure how efficient my setup is, but it working for me. This is more than enough power for what I'm doing, especially through a T5 and a 3.45 trac-loc rear. The car feels like a totally different animal compared to when it had the anemic 3.8L -> AOD -> 3.08 open dif. setup.
