and the planets have all aligned. I'm driving a Ford.
I quess stranger things have happened but not to me.
The car is a 90 Mustang LX hatchback with a fresh 302 bored .03 over. ( 306 cu in ?? ) Speed Pro pistons ( flat tops). Clearanced, balanced and blueprinted. Melling High Volume oil pump. Comp Cam( roller) 218/224 dur and 512/512 lift. Crane Energizer roller rocker arms.
Comp Cam double roller timing chain.
GT-40 heads, with some impressive port work w/double valve springs and poly locks.
Edelbrock RPM intake w/650 Holley carb.Speed Pro pistons (flat tops)
MSD Blaster 2 coil
WC T5 trans and 3:55 rear gears
Ram Clutch with BBK cable and quadrant
Eibach drag launch springs (rear) and 90/10 uplock struts (front)
and ,of course, Holley Blue elec fuel pump.
This will be my daily driver for a while and is a quick little car for a ford
So, being a Chevy man my whole life (almost) I don't know squat about Fords and I'll have a lot of questions.
Anyone have Desk Top Dyno ? I'm really wondering what kind of HP this engine is making. I have always liked the look of the Fox body Mustangs .
Thanks for any help.

Makes perfect sense but I can't get the car to hook up and I'm not going to buy new slicks to use one time. I usually get good info here but i guess there are not a lot of Ford guys on the forum.
I have looked on some of the mustang forums and it's mostly a bunch of kids who just don't know much yet. They will gain knowledge with age like we all did but I don't have that long.  |

Dont worry about hooking up. Mark off a 1/4 mile and do the math off your speed. E.T. doesnt mean anything when calculating power, it is based off speed. |

Heck no. You didn't even know how to type FORD
I had already thought of the speed thing but the car spins thru 1st and second gear. I knew i should have stayed with Chevy.
The speedo in the car shows I'm going slower than the reading also. It was an LX 4 cyl before the v-8 and the tach is way fast. I have a Sun Tach that I plan to install today.
