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.

Welcome to the forums...

As far as rules go, its the same here as anywhere else, we have a smack talk section so dish out mostly whatever you like over there.
