Drag-200stang,
the shift points seem to change with boost, I'm not sure why either, at 10 psi the motor fell off @ 5K rpm 14 psi 5200 rpm, 18 psi 5400-5500 rpm.
I konw I have some push rod deflection issues, and need to order good ones, as for the timing chain issues I hesitate to bring it up, I know someone on here will call me out on it, but here is the scoop seems only one manufacture makes the lower gears (lower crank gear) for most if not all aftermarket companies, (Cloyes, Sealed power, Schucks and Auto Zone brands,) and they are using powedered metal to do so, I couldn't find out what counrty they're built in prob. China, well there process is/must be less then desirable and they are weak, they split at the keyway, this is not just a 250 six issue according to the rep I talked with it is an issue, the cure was, I dug through my old stock Ford used stuff and put a stock Ford crank gear in it, problem solved!!!!!
