Daniel.

You hit is right on the nose about the cam. It is the Fords motorsports cam. Windage tray and 'scraper' was added when I changed the pan. The tray is the type that mounts in the pan and not to the mains. I only use contact adhesive for the gaskets as well. But I did seal the ends with red rtv. I kept the 'turkey' pan but cut off boths sides where it meets the heads and the crossover is blocked.

I am looking to extend it up a bit. With the HP curve being completely flat from 5300 to 6100, I think we can. So how about a Blue Thunder intake and 770 vacuum secondary street avenger carb? Could I expect maybe another 20 or 30? How about advancing (retarding?) the cam a couple of degrees?

I do not want to hurt the drivability that I enjoy now. Simply want the engine to be all that it can.

Thanks

Rick
