Stroked408 THANKS!!! As for the cam... I get asked this all the time... my cam sort of defies the commom understanding that the fords need more lift on the exhaust. I asked Ed about this once and all he said was I didn't need it... that was good enough for me coming from him! As for the trap speed... I couldn't be happier, but I'm afraid that those are gone. I bent three mainshafts in my T5, so I just added a TKO tranny. In a recent thread posted by Bob Cosby on the corral he lost 13RWHP and most other people are dropping 2mph with a swap to the TKO... my only hope is that the bent mainshaft was eating up that 13rwhp before and that maybe it will be a wash with the new straight (but heavier) mainshaft in the TKO. We hope to have my dad's car together finally tomorrow and if we do the rear will be put in this week and we will try to get it to the dyno friday. When he goes I'm going to go too to see if i lost, stayed the same, or (this is a long shot) gained. At least I'll be able to drive it without fear this year!
P.S.- my dad's cam from FTI is similar on the exhaust. I've spoke to other FTI cam owners and theirs is like other ford cams with more lift on the exhaust, so it all depends on the particular setup.
SKYMAN- Hey bud, how have you been? It cost like $325 I think. Back when i ordered it (last year), there was a backorder situation with the blank cams Ed gets so I had to wait like a month... but it was well worth it!
