Like I said there's more there. I just gotta get on the dyno again and record results.
414 on a mustang dyno is around 467whp on a dynojet.

Extremely low.

I don't think that 24º vs 27º is going to give you 100whp which should be what you should get.

Now, on the other hand... Can you post the tune? I bet the car is NOT running at 24º sorry...

Then again. I installed a 440 from scoggin dickey.........

To the highlander...well point well taken. I got the car retuned. Last time on dyno, it layed 509/480. I was told the original tune from before was garbage. So the problem has been solved.

If you're talking about the clearance up against the cowl the solution is pretty simple. There is a small pin that secures the wiper tray. Remove that. If you still need more, a couple of thick washers between the cradle and the frame will do the trick.

Not with Mast heads. lol.

It was hard fouling on the wiper support bracket about 3/4 of an inch before the car met the cradle.

To 1994 Z...before VR, I took it this shop in Athens called MV Performance. Though they say they tune GM, Ford, and Dodge, they were actually a mustang shop. They tuned my car 1st. So there tuning was garbage. That is when I took it to VR. They dynoed the car and tuned it. Though they made it driveable, it was surging and bucking and cuts off. That's when I got with Frost so he can help with the tuning issue.

okay, same here took it to a guy in hueytown,ala. everyone said he was the best around. well after he took about 5 hours of trying to get it tuned he let it slip that he was more familar with fords. then he called someone to help him try to to get my car running better. said this guy was better with ls motors. i told my nephew right then i screwed up. i dont think there is anyone around here that really knows ls motors. dont get me wrong to me it runs better than i thought a cammed and intake 346 should run. 7.62 in the 1/8 and 12.05 in the 1/4 in a 3400 lb. firebird. it seams to run out of steam around 1000 ft. mark just want pull no more. after the holley ls fest want to find someone that knows ls motors, to see if they can get anymore out of her.
