Why the shitty mustang cam? I would think the stock thunderbird sc cam would have much better duration for a boosted car rather then a cam that was designed for an N/A car? The most restrictive thing about the supercoupe is the heads. Probably the best thing you did was put the split port heads on the car.
@whitroc01 i had a reground sc cam in it before, but it was for a supercharged set up. There are alot of v6 mustang guys with stock cams making good power, and this project was on the cheap...it seems to work for now
Yes i rebuilt it .030 over few years back but to a stock rebuild spec. has a v6 mustang cam, split port heads and a ford windstar upper intake. plus 60lb injectors bigger pump, and it runs on e85 now too

Hey man, I'm getting ready to turbo my bird. Is there any way I could get ahold of you to ask some questions?
