Did I crossover to the dark side? (Square port porn inside)

Thank you Blk00ss. I'm with you on the pm. 4's or low 5's should be expected. Reason in saying this both the guys list have similar sized engines ones NA the other on a hit like yourself. Both are 8 or low 5's high 4 second cars. Higher rpm and lower weight helps everything.
Oh yea you did crossover to the best side step into the Light!

Yes sir. There's around 3" or so between the TB and hood. I'm going to make an face to keep the hood from sucking down on the TB at speed. I could get any number of thinner TB's to have even more room, but this came with my intake. So going to try and run it for now. It has a Ford TPS sensor and plug in. So I'm hoping I can make it work with my Holley harness. If not, I will have to get a different one anyways.

Blk00ss I thought of something yesterday. Did you consider any other cylinder heads. Mast SRT 8, CID or All Pro heads with Richards newer WCCH 290 cc heads?

I know Mast makes good stuff just wondered.

Small update. So I finally got some time with Bae. Had to do some modifications to the Proform valvecover standoffs. They wouldn’t clear the Crower rocker stands. So I just hit em all with a grinder to clearance them lol. Then I had to run and get some longer valve cover bolts. The MAST heads raised valvecover rail causes this. But I believe I finally got that all taken care of. Also had to “massage” one of the Kooks primaries around the race steering shaft.
Next up was making up some oil lines going from the pan to the oil filter relocation mount. The Moroso mount lined up perfectly with the cruise control bolt holes.
Then I installed the Motion Raceworks steam kit. My radiator has a -4an bung welded on for the steam vent, so I’m going to run a black braided line from the block to the radiator. Should look pretty clean.
Next up was installing new wheel studs. The billet specialties are a bit thicker than the Alumastars that came on the car. The end of the stud was flush with the nuts. So I ordered some 3.5” studs to replace the 3”. When I removed the rotor I found that the axles are star flanged. Had no idea of this when I bought it. So a pleasant surprise.
So I just had to know if they were gun drilled as well, so out the axle came. And what do ya know? Bam!
So anyways got the studs all swapped out and this is much mo better.
While I was playing around with the wheels I decided to try a 3/8” spacer on I had lying around. The wheels are 5.5” BS while the Alumastars that we’re on it we’re 5” even. BS doesn’t make the street lite in that tho... So with the mini tubs I knew I could pull the tire under the fender and still have plenty of room between the frame rail. But it doesn’t look just right. So what do you guys think looks better?
No spacer
Spacer
I’m thinking a 1/4” spacer would be just about perfect

Nice to see everything is coming together. I'm surprise that you're having clearance issues with the rockers/valvecovers and the Kooks headers. I run the same valve covers on MAST heads, but with T&D shaft mounts. I also run the 2" Kooks headers with plenty of clearance. But then every car is different.
