Yeah that stuff is a bit outta my price range.


Yeah, unfortunately going fast costs. $. You could save up and do it right with some of this info or work the stuff you have now. The tfs kits are impressive with out a doubt. 350+hp. Anytime you are over a hp per ci is good. Makes you really appreciate what the 4 cyl. guys are able to accomplish.

The "E" cam is milder than the "B"...

Rumor has it that it will clear, but every engine and every head is different.

Lol throw the alphabet out the window when talking injectors. go by color only.
worst gray,better orange/yellow, even better red, and green the best.
 If buying the injectors from Ford, open the box 1st then you know. :D  :hick:  :D

You forgot blue:hick:

Funny, blue is 24 pounds/hour on the 5.0.  My Stang has 34's now.....they are also blue.  Much different in appearance, but the same blue.

Alright guys, I bumped the timing to 14 deg BTDC this evening and she definitely feels better at higher rpms.  She runs right to 5500rpm without problems.  I plan to go to the track tomorrow to see if it translates to better numbers.

So anyways...what's this I'm hearing about putting an E303 cam with an SO bottom end?

Same as before, you can run about any cam that's streetable with the E6s... I can't see it happening with E7s
