well it ran for all of 20 seconds last weekend, clicking sound coming from passenger side...

timing chain tensioner was bad, tommy replaced it

cranked up this weekend to take it to get it dyno'd and what incredible luck the clicking noise is not as bad as it was last weekend but apparently it wasn't just the tensioner that was bad, there is a problem with the guides too...looks like all that is coming off and factory ford guides are going back along with the ford tensioners that have already been put on

Nice seeing you guys there today. Those numbers are not bad considering how docile the engine is. Definitely will be a fun ride!

i actually think the engine still has a few kinks left to be worked out before i see real numbers...

i already fixed one vac leak i found and the pcv hose is collapsing on itself under WOT which is another problem

and i don't think i had enough nitrous in my bottle because when i sprayed 150 shot i only made 8rwhp more than the 100 shot

either way, stan's GTO got fvcking anihilated on the way back to birmingham

and i had an extra 200lb passenger, a complete second exhuast for a mustang, most of my interior, another intake manifold, an engine stand, tommy's tools etc etc in the car when i did it

That's because it didn't have DUBS on it!
