Now I make 402 rear wheel horsepower, 416 tq with a 302 stroked to 354. Runs great. Cruise at 1300 to 1500 rpms in 5th gear. No issues, but the rear tires will not stick to the road

I'm using the EECIV Ford unit with a custom chip.
So you have your O2 in the collectors on your cobra side pipes. You are the man with the experiance I am looking for.

Are these factory type heated O2 (4wire)?

Are you sure they get hot enough to go into closed loop control?

Ceramic coated pipes?

Any insulation wrapped on the headers?
