I'm going to guess you painted the air cleaner flat black.

Hey I thought equal length shorty headers had issues with our cars?  I have a set of MAC ones laying around I may put to use now....

Graham... Nope. I steelwool on the valve covers. They had some " funky" stuff on them.
 
RJ... I've had teh equal legnth's for a while. They do fit but it's very close on the shifter linkage.

My only suggestion is to replace the fuel pump. I had the same one on my car, and after changing the heads, cam, intake and switching to the 4 barrell it wasn't enough. When I would punch it from a dead stop, it would get to about 45 and then lean out. I have since switched to this one SUM-250024-1 from Summit. I haven't had it back to the track yet, and won't this year. But just from playing around with it at my buddy's house (he has a really long drive way) it has made a huge improvement. Also it is a direct replacement.

Looks a LOT better now Mikey.  Did you move that Rustang symbol from the hood bracing onto the top of the air cleaner lid?
