I don't want to flycut the pistons. Car will be driven a good bit with occasional track duty. Would like decent manners with a big idle if possible.

I've had a lot of mustangs but this will be my first ls1 I have kept.

I have several different grinds I could use for you in a set-up like this.

With your 3800 stall you have a few more options than others with a smaller stall along with the 3.73 gears.

I sent you a PM also.

After talking with Martin earlier today for sometime I will definitely be getting a cam he spec'd! Anyone looking for help in deciding what to go with I urge you to give Tick Performance a call and talk to Martin!
