5.0 driveability

jimhodell · 12-12-2002, 10:04 PM

After rebuilding my 5.0 and installing a comp 270ah split duration cam and a ford explorer upper and lower intake.The runs good at
the top end but the idle seems rougher than it should be(can live with that). but the bucking between idle and 1800 drives me nuts.
I have a votech mass air meter matched to 24lb injectors,vortechsqtrim 8 pound,normal other bolt ons.

All the sensors are new. Only after the motor change the only thing was the intake and the cam.I know its not stock now.
but can drivability be almost perfect and how?
Thanks for any help, Jim

you gotta tinker with the timing, tps, and the fuel pressure

my car is my ONLY car and i couldnt ask for better driveability, wich i give credit to the Pro-m 80mm im running ans im not a fan of the c&l/vortech meters
