Thanks a lot Mike, islander, Irun.

I'm running a Walbro 255lph. The pump is working fine, we bench tested it beforehand by giving it 12v and it flows excellent. I am almost positive it is the gauge because it reads like 11psi which I've been told isn't even enough to run at all, and it revs smoothly to 3k with a quick blip of the throttle, and when held at 3k it's fine and doesn't break up. Gauge shows no pressure change when blipping, raising rpm, or removing vacuum from regulator so it's pretty certain it is the gauge. New one is in the mail regardless because I discovered a small crack on the back of this one tonight!

Anxious as hell to drive it but the 10 inches of snow we just got means more time to tweak

Now, I will have venture to guess the HP bump may not be "genuine". The current 5.0 seems to be underrated about 15-20HP. Which I am sure they know by now. I would believe it to be plausible that the HP will go unchanged, just be more accurately claimed.

I don't see how the 2015 is "all new". IRS and new fascias. That is my opinion I suppose.
Ford is claiming that ZERO parts moved over to the new platform. They redesigned the front suspension to keep up with how the IRS setup handled.

Spectacular car snake! Any more details on the car? Cubic inch, transmission, rear end/gear. You said it's going to be a daily driver, any goal for it at the track?

Thanks bud, I appreciate it! Just a pushrod 302, running a t5 with 3.55s out back. I thought of going steeper but the rear came with them already and I had 3.55s in my 87 coupe and loved them, I don't feel the need to go steeper with a light car.

Heads are the older AFR165s, if I had it down to a bare short block I would have went 185s, notched the pistons and bigger cam with a ported Holley Systemax 2 intake.

Intake piping is all made by me, maf housing modified by me, 80mm throttle body.

Cool cool, sounds like a nifty setup! How long have you been working on it? I bet it sure feels good to be this close to completion.
