Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
I'll look at it close today, but if you view the rear it has about the same appearance.
Edit : U-joints are fine.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Failing to find anything of significance thus far I feel its time for a large move to test for effect. I have either missed the mark on the engine assembly or the fuel events are way off. Thinking of removing the aftermarket controller and letting the factory ecu do it's thing...I can adjust the fuel pressure and monitor the wide band O2 readings.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Don't do that. You'll hit the rev limiter, and not be happy.
It's your first time out. Leak the motor and adjust the valves, then bring it to test and tune. Make 10 hits, make one change at a time, and log the changes. It sounds a bit sluggish out of the hole. You may need to give it more timing. Let the engine and trans find their way. Don't be afraid to lower the shift points. What did you install the cam at? Most importantly, talk to John Pressing. He went 11.50 in L/S I believe 10 years ago in one of those cars. There are lots of guys with good experience on this board, but from my point of view John's the guy you want to talk to.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Working my way from back to front I found an interesting item today. My TPS sensor is only registering a maximum of 92 percent WOT. Rounded a new one up and will test it tm...if that knocks another 3 tenths off it will be the best $35 I have spent in awhile.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
No joy with the new TPS sensor...best I can achieve is 94% throttle. Must be a voltage thing and I don't know how I would allow/adjust for that. There is a variance scale screen in the handheld for TPS set-up, but I have not been able to get it to move one way or another.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
When you move the sensor on it's adjustment screws, it doesn't change on your multimeter? Also, what is your multmeter reading with the throttle closed?

Did a compression and leakdown test on all cylinders today...I'm satisfied with the results. These figures were on a stone cold engine btw.  Took the night off from work so I could go to the track and try to make something happen. Turned out to be a wasted effort as it spun the tires badly every pass. I thought these DOT radials would be ok for initial testing, but I now see it is going to require a set of slicks.
