    Got a mustang oxygen sensor wired up, and a narrowband gauge to see so general air fuel ratios. I have to say I was starving fuel on top and now it revs much more freely. Seems like it pulls so much better.

      Getting parts and everything lined up and ordered for the stroker and 5 speed. Also have 19lb injectors, millerchip and maf sensor all lined up as well.


      It should be a stroker within the next 2 weeks.

            Nice wheels. Great color!
            Can't wait to see some videos of the stroker. I am thinking about stroking my eta as well.

                How are you liking that rim and tire set up. I'm about to order a set.

                              So, i have the top end off, everything look perfect except the cooling system. Very corroded with the ports on the throttle body closed off. Tons of rust and gross coolant. Looks like it may be well over 15yrs old. Havent got into the water pump yet, that will be tomorrow :crazy:

                                Just did a stroker on a buddy of mine's car. Big difference. did you happen to do a comp test and leak down test before hand? dont make the same mistake i did. turned out the block was toast now spitting out blue smoke like a mofo. good luck with the stroker!
