Cylinder Head Poll

Capri...I am running a Pro-M Bullet calibrated for the 24lb. injectors. In cold weather the car used to die right away after the initial start-up. Also, it would have a bad idle surge when sitting at a stoplight. I think I remember seeing other topics about this before on this site (something to do with the fuel curve of the 24s being different than 19s). Anyways, one day I reset the TPS (.98v) and adjusted my idle (600-700 on factory tach) and haven't had a problem since. Now it idles perfect and never dies after I start it up in the morning.

WADS56...Do the Canfields have raised exhaust ports and require special headers? They're supposed to be developing some new small block ford head aimed at the street cars. 5.0 had an article about them. I called Canfield up awhile back and they said they were having problems with the coolant passages so the new heads weren't out yet.

Thanks to everyone else that has replied. Looks like a lot of strong running cars out there.
