Sorry it took so long to respond. I guess I need to explain what I have better. I am using the Explorer block, crank, and rods. I have the speed pro pistons but other than that it is a stock short block. The heads are GT40P obviously but I am using the stock Mustang HO intake manifold. The car feels pretty strong, but I think it has more in it.
Maybe you guys can help me decide if the car is making decent power. I am assuming I have stock gears, it runs about 2100rpm or so at 70mph in 5th. I have crappy tires on it that came with the car so I dont know how good this info is. 1st gear is absolutley useless. I can let the clutch out and be idling along and stab it and it will shoot up the to redline very quickly. I can spin the tires at will at any rpm in 1st gear. I can't spin them at all in 2nd gear unless I am already spinning in 1st and then hit 2nd but even then it will spin for a second and then grab and start going.
To answer another question I have not taken the car to the track yet. I don't have insurance on it because I want to get some more stuff done on it before I drive it. It needs rear shocks terribly, I need to get my x-pipe on, I need mufflers because I don't have any on it right now. I need wheels and tires (youd know why if you saw the rims the ******* before me put on the car).
Ill quit rambling on, sorry for the long post.
Later,
Joey
