Re: my 4.6
so i'm within a few days of being able to start my stroker. just waiting on my pushrods and i need to do my exhaust. i have a gibson stainless header and was wondering if i should cut the collector off and weld in a 2.5" or if i should leave it alone and just make the pipe from the collector back 2.5'

Re: my 4.6
well finally got the engine started and did the cam break in

my aem wideband was all over the place and it really didn't matter if i was running 32 lbs or 43 lbs on the fuel pressure it would read 10something for awhile then it would jump to 16something. guess i need to down size from the blue top injectors

Re: my 4.6
Just a follow up, How is your engine running?
Especially the valve springs? How are they holding up?

Re: my 4.6
engine runs like a raped ape. lots of low end torque and plenty of power to smoke these 37's i'm currently running.....transmission is pissing me off though so a standard is going in soon

Great to hear.
That Lunati 63501 cam is healthy and the springs are both quite unique.

Re: my 4.6
