So...its been a long two and half months. I broke an exhaust valve but before I knew it was only the valve I had already purchased a 2004 Crown Vic engine with 42k miles.
It's all back together and running. List of all my mods are below:
CAI, 75mm TB and plenum
Comp Cam XE268H (I consider these a stage 1.5 for PI engines since they are technically made for NPIs...less lift but more duration than the 262AHs)
GT500 followers, .600 lift springs, heads were cleaned and shaved a tad just to make them smooth.
Stock PI Longblock
4V oil pump and pickup
Steeda Underdrive Pullies
BBK Shorties
Pypes off road H pipe
2.5 in catback with Super 44s
Walbro TU229H-2 255lph pump
Boost a pump (already installed with my stock pump before I bought the 255)
Zex Nitrous Kit with the 125 jets
Valeo Clutch and OEM iron flywheel
MGW
4.10s
180 degree thermostat
Here is a short video of the idle. It sounds very good. Haven't gotten on it yet because the clutch is still breaking in.
I'm sure it's still slow. I would love to be in the low 13s as it sits with my street tires and all N/A.
I did do a few pulls in 4th up to like 4500 and my AFR was pig rich at 11.0-11.5...I'm not liking my BAMA tune at the moment.
