Hello,
I'm a recent transplant to Tennessee from south Florida. I own a 90 Lx with a brand new GT40 aluminum head crate motor. 75mm MAF, 24lb injectors, E303 cam, Ported, Polished and shaved aluminum heads, GT40 upper and lower intake, 1.6:1 rockers, TKO-600, 70mm throttlebody, 3.73 rear end and a few other goodies. Just dyno'd @ 425hp and 450ft/tq. I work for Keisler Engineering and we make custom Tremec TKO transmission kits for the muscle car market. Never been part of a forum before but am looking forward to chatting with everyone out there and possibly getting some help with questions (and problems) I am running into with my stang. Is there anything important about this forum I should know? Certain procedures ( I did read the agreement ) ? Be back later with some questions I have. |

Thanks. was born in West Palm Beach, grew up in Jupiter, moved to Tenn. from Port St. Lucie. Left last June 1st (right before the 3 storms hit).
Sure do miss the Ocean and surfing. I will get some pics posted soon. Spent a ton of money on the motor and drivetrain, next project is the body. I want to keep it looking stock (although it does not sound stock) shorty headers 3" pipes and flowmasters. I am having trouble with it running hot. 220 on the guage. My timing is at 22 degrees. runs great but hot I am worried I am going to warp my heads. It has a 5 core radiator and a 182 degree thermostat. I am wondering if the timing is too high? Ant ideas?? |
That sounds a bit high. Is 22 the base timing? Most go from stock 10deg to 13 or 14.
