The car ran and peformed GREAT. The car was in heavy STOP and GO traffic for hours at a time (it took us all most 2 hours on Saturday just to get out of the parking lot and on the road!), High heat in the upper 90's, engine temps as high as 210 sitting in traffic and moving inches at a time or racing down the road to the next stop and as low as 160 runing down the road with NO problems at ALL!
The car had lots of Power for passing, coming out of toll booths ect. My buddy even made comments that when we were coming off on ramps onto the highway that he would run pretty hard and when he would look up into his mirrow I was still there on his bumper and he was not pulling away from me like he use to.
I would say the most fun was pulling into the Veues or Motel parking lots and have people telling me that that my car sounded great and then trying to guess what I have under the hood, then opening the Hood to show them that it is really a INLINE SIX. (lots of FREE BEER) the best was in Clevenland at the first stop when these 4 guys walked up to me in the Motel parking lot and telling me I had one sweet sounding 351 with a series "B" cam in it. I told the guy that I had a series "C" cam and he told me no way, that it was a series "B" (his buddies told me this guys knows his Fords). Buy this time my buddy was about to bust a gut, listening to me, and had to walk away. Well all I can say is I got MORE FREE BEER when I open the hood.

(I would say some where in the 300lbs range, including TOOLS, COOLER, ect.) The info below I had #68 jets in the carb. but going to keep uping them and see how the plugs look (#70's as of 6/17/2007 and still looking good). I also have a T5 Ford Racing 5 speed tranny.
