    Good news . :bananaman It didn't spit out the the Tranny seal this time.
    I put 2 more deg's of timing in and pulled 328 HP and 302 FPT at the rear wheels. Looks like my shift point will be 6300 to 6500.
    It's time to go play. I'm going to the track friday night First time in 10 months with the Mustang. Cant wait :yahoo:

    Hey Don, no Team racing this year. Not in the budget. I'm just planning on going out any haveing fun this year. :burnout:

    I'll let you guys know how it runs.
    I got to pull some timing out of it. Looking at the numbers I lost a little HP.

    Glad its running good Robbie. Sure was alot of money and headache. Heres an FYI you may want to think about next time a motor goes out. You are only making 30 more HP and 22 FPT then I am on my stock original ford built 89 90k mile 5.0 short block with a mild cam and Trick flow heads. Do I miss my 347 stroker? not at all.
