I'm not sure I understand... your sig says 24# injectors. Are you running 19# or 24# injectors? What's the MAS calibrated for? Are you still running the stock fuel pump? If you're still running the stock pump, you may be pushing it's limits.
If you're running 24# injectors and your MAS is cal'd for them, I'd set the fuel pressure about 35 PSI with no vacuum. If you're running 19# injectors and your MAS is cal'd for them, I'd start at 49 PSI. I'd set your base timing at 15*, back it off if you ping. The way I set my idle, which isn't the way a lot of people do, is to disconnect the IAB, put a .025 feeler guage between the idle screw and the throttle, start the engine, adjust the screw for about 750 RPM, turn off the engine, remove the feeler guage, hook up the IAB, disconnect the battery for 15 minutes, hook it back up, set the TPS to .9 volts, and start the engine. The Probst book, page 254, has the whole adjustment step by step, but my way has worked for me.

What problems are you having? Or are you just trying to get max power?

i still only have 19# injectors. the timing is set at a shockingly high 20* (my buddie woth the 351 and the same cam is at 24* so i saw if that would work...it works fine and no pinging...stock pump... umm at about 3500rpm it starts to miss a little bit, only when you keep it steady... umm... fuel psi is at 45psi no vaccume... where can i get a Probst book???? i am just tring to get ti to run good then ill mess w/it at the track... and the oil still is leaking from the bell housing cant find the stupid leak!!!

I bought the book - it's title is "Ford Fuel Injection and Electronic Engine Control" - at PAW on Thousand Oaks Blvd. Is that 20* with the SPOUT disconnected? I would pull that back to 16* until you get everything else sorted out. What are your plugs gapped at? Have you tried disconnecting the MSD and seeing if it still misses?

[Patrick Boetticher]

that is w/ the sput dissconceted.... the car wont run without the MSD the ICM is screwed up... it misses w/it disconeded like a ***** put it back on (msd and it runs fine exept with the slight miss.... ohh well...

the new news is that one of the brake caliper bolts BROKE off whire i was comming home from the 4th and i got so pissed i am taking it to my familys mechanic to have EVERYTHING FIXED AND ADJUSTED!!!!
one of the mechanics that works there used to work For GERMASEN... seen his work and its bitchen... good tuner too.. so i am gonna spludge and habv some one else do the grunt work.... PS i threw my back out 3 time in the last week and i am not about to screw with that damn thing!!!!

if you have any more hints on tuning i would still like to know
thanks guys!!!!!!
