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.
