long story short. my new motor was built in 2009. with the ford motorsports block and stroker kit. 402w. original cam was the 240 248. dyno and tuned on a engine dyno. AFR 205 heads. vic jr 950 AED carb. had it dyno at least 9 pulls.. 750 carb was no good.. didn't like it. 950 made more torque and hp. few years later I wanted to get my mach1 finished.. so I took my motor trans to the first shop. the guy screwed it up. but? he wanted me to put in a smaller cam to bring down the torque curve. another engine builder local to me.. which runs a nhra pro stock car.. they installed the new smaller cam.. I did not know what they put in it until I got the motor back.. same torque less hp. torque curve is 500 rpms lower then the bigger cam. ok pulled my car out of shop one. took all my stuff over to my new great mechanic who re did my whole car from head to toe. everything was done.. gas tank to brakes.. he did not build my motor. called me one nite said come to the shop. took a ride in my car.. 50 50 mix had a bad ping. said he had to find a sweet spot with timing and curve. that did not work so he just sucked out all the gas and ran full110 vp race gas.. problem solved.. I had wanted to run pump but with these heads and cam I couldn't.. so my that is where I stand now with my car. he told me the car runs like a r ape.. I believe him. I had not driven the car yet.. since I just got it last weekend. snow rain here in nj. that is where my car stands now.
