I was shooting for but it but not with stock manifolds I can't get there. My 4.6 long tubes didn't fit so I had to pick up stock logs. Going to have to cut 2 tubes and reweld them on my long tubes. Then it should get me to 400.
Not sure why everyone things the 5.4 is hard. All of my connections/wire harness required no modifying. Motor mounts the same. used my same heads, intake, flywheel, and mid pipe. Already had a 3" hood so it fit.

Well went racing today. Weather was pretty good. DA on my best pass was 463ft. Didn't run quite what I wanted as I didn't expect to run the best since this was the first outing with the new motor and my first time driving in over a year.
I will say that the car is definitely over geared now. I was ~1300 rpms over peak at the traps. No bueno. I also have to LOWER my shift points. I was over reving the motor. Average track conditions it 60' decent for what I was expecting. The morning it trapped the highest. But in the heat I lowered the 3-4 shift and it mph the same as it did in the morning. Anyways here's the slip for you Ford haters.
60': 1.58
330: 4.79
1/8: 7.44
mph: 92.16
1000': 9.71
1/4: 11.61
Mph: 118.76
First pass off the trailer I launched low and slow shifted it and it went 11.68@119.3 with the same 60'. Had I power shifted it, it might have went 120.
But got a neat picture from the photography people that were there. I did beat a Z06 (not sure what year) and a new ZL1 Camaro on DR's. The ZL1 was trailered next to me. Nice guy. He thought I was sprayin. lol.

What gear do you plan on stepping down to and where do you need to shift if you don't mind me asking.

Right now I have 4.56's with a 26" tire. Not sure if I should go to a 4.56/28" or 4.56/27". I used to shift the old motor at 7100. This motor I think I should lower it to 6600.

Thanks. I was happy when I left the track really. I built a motor in my garage from a bare block and it made it through the dyno session and me beating the hell out of it for 7 passes.

Go 28" tire all the way!!
I bet you could improve your 60' with a taller tire
