how much?!??! Reply #5 – June 12, 2008, 10:36:06 PM Thanks, she goes like a bat outta hell.It's a 100% ford stock bottom end(stock pistons,bearings,rods,crank and block)has heads cam intake combo.Haven't had it dyno tuned or even dyno'd yet but with the parts i have and running 14psi i know she's in the 500hp neighbourhood.For tuning i do it myself with my inovate wideband and anderson pms.They compliment each other quite nicely letting me adjust both my timing and fuel tables at the touch of a button on the fly.Allows me to see my a/f at all times, idle and wot most importantly to make sure she's a smooth idler and a fat runner.At 14psi she runs a safe and fat 11.2-11.6 a/f, i could lean it out to around 12-12.5 to 1 but i prefer keep it safe.I think my having an AOD (no missed shifts) and a fairly good tune (no detination) has allowed the engine to stay together for the last 2.5yrs.

how much?!??! Reply #7 – June 13, 2008, 08:45:08 AM High RPM kills the block... Keep it under 6000rpm and a stock block will live at 500hp... I know a guy who split a Ford racing block in his NA SCCA vintage racer Stang... Of course he was regularly spinning it 7800+... Bought one of the first Boss blocks, so far it's staying together...
