Well no numbers. I was having a slow start problem. I had it to one shop and they said it was fixed. It was better but not right. Steve @ Thunder said it was strarting like it had too much timing, but it doesn't. You unplug the TFI module and it cranks faster but still not right. We tried another ECM still no go. He said it just didn't sound right when it was running. It also was popping from the tailpipes. I left the car with him to hopefully fix it. If not I will either be burning it to the ground or pushing it into a canal.
More to come soon.
Here's a couple of teasers. More then likely I won't be there when it's tuned so this is all I have.

The distributor was bad. Car is done. It put down 396HP 402TQ.
I can't pick it up until tomorrow. Graph to follow.
Yes I did put in a brand new Davis Unified Ignition Distributor. It was bad out of the box. I'm sending it back for warranty.
Correct no port work. Just a custom cam and kick ass engine built by Woody @ Fordstrokers.
I'm very happy with the #s.

The car pulls nice. I still have a few bugs to work out.
When I was installing everything I had to remove the right side header a few times. In the process I tore the gasket. I got a set of fel-pro header gaskets. I've read the BBK ones are junk. I almost changed the left side too, but said to myself, it's on there just leave it. Well the left side gasket is leaking. I guess I will be changing that out now.
Here's the dyno graph.
I do have Fel-pro gaskets, but I think they are a different. I think on 1415 the port size is for a stock head. I forget the part # I have but it was for a bigger exhaust port of an aftermarket head.

Putting on the finishing touches. Couldn't of done it without my buddy Joe!
