Coupe5oh, well, I don't know exactly how I'm getting 104mph out of unported heads, I've always looked at it in a TOTAL PACKAGE view point, and to me E.T is what matters, MPH is, as you know only indicative of horsepower. I'm a drag racer, getting to the finish line first is my only goal. 13.20's are easily achieved in hot/sticky weather for me.

Looking at your spec's, I offer the following advice in true sportsmanship.

Auto or Manual I knock the 3.27's.
160 stat is open constantly, tricking puter rich.
10" tires, too much, too heavy, 8.5 is plenty.
I run 1.6's on the intake side, 1.7's on the exhaust, this keeps up velocity in the valve workings, Ford's DO NOT LACK intake speed or duration, ONLY exhaust, a common mistake.
