I just built the 4.6 low buck with 30 over icon pistons, 4wt crank, and 231 comp cam. I only added a few extras to the blueprint. I ported a 7120 head and used stainless 1.56 exhaust valves, ceramic header, hs rockers, and 3.0 ford Taurus injectors. my compression should be 9.6. the n2o kit I believe it zex 82021 its a v8 kit

What do you mean you added something to the blueprint?

I just love looking at your street machine. Sweet ride and sounding even more like the performer it appears to be.

Let us know the next track times you lay down. Looking forward to hearing/reading it!

Don't use those 3M scotch locks on any surface that needs to be flat. Cylinder head, block deck, brake rotors, clutch surfaces, etc. They do way more damage than good. Not to mention the abrasive crap they throw off into cylinders.

I know what your talking about silver, I just used a surface prep one I had after I machined the flywheel to clean up some surface rust. I do use them a lot at work, haven't had any problems yet but I heard some guys did. guess its just how hard you push

even the surface prep ones damage the surface. Many use them and many blocks and heads need to be resurfaced because of them.

Just go 9" I regret it every time I did my 8.8. Non-c-clip is a huge plus, even a 28 spline is slightly stronger than the 8.8 from specs I've seen. Disk are easy to swap from an explorer.
And the biggest plus? Drop out 3rds...maybe 3.55 for daily and 4.10s for track :cheers:
