ohh dang.. good luck

yupp its running great... carb needs a litttlee fine tuning and a little fine tuning with the timing also.. but everything is going great

exept that i cant drive it becuase its too loud!

 

[F 150Cobra]

NOTE TO SELF: WHEN THOSE SECUNDARIES ON THE CARB OPEN AFTER 3500 RPM, HOLD ON!!! its like V-tech on major roids!!

i just opened her up once in 2nd and WOW!! lol who said the 5.0 doesnt have torque! it screeched the tires!!
yes those wide *** tires!
and i didnt even got to 5500 where the max power of the cam is!! the limiter is still set at 4500
