Help from any FORD racers..

Thanks guys, sounds like I am lacking in compression and cam for now, maybe the gear as well. This car all last year kept having trans issues and only got three or four good runs out of it.

For some reason it never wanted to pull much past 5700 rpm, I thought it may be the hydrolic roller that was in it, never put the mechanical one in it yet.

I am looking at a 408 with aftermarket 4 bolt caps, and a good steel crank. will use my mechanical cam, and heads, have to get a new intake and all.. And switch to the glide with the 5000 stall converter, Do you guys think I need more gear? 3.73's with a 28x10.5 tire?
