But is there a limit? Like the "magical" 450rwhp for stock blocks?
I'm thinking 0.030 over is about it. I know for a FI setup on a Teksid, that John Mehovitz told Adam that 0.030 over could handle up to 20psi boost.

Over a month and 5K later I picked up the SYT (with base tune) and drove off back home. Happy feelings I have not felt in so long started to come back to me as the car was playful and responsive (unlike Mrs. Lostsoul). From the pickup area to my house was about 50+ miles of hot temps and traffic. Shouting with glee and thinking of Mustang Madness I ran into a hitch...

A tow hitch!!!



Once again unbelievable shit happens to me. Once again Gowd ( A MAN!!!) laughs down to me. 10 minutes from my house at an intersection I push the clutch down to leave at the lights.. I find out that I cant get the F'ing thing into ANY gear. Also, the peddle is spongy and not really coming back up. After 30 minutes of blocking the fast lane and ASS HOLES (Obama supporters) still driving up to my car with the HAZARDS ON expecting me to move then yelling at me! Finally someone came by to help and we pushed the car to a safe spot. When I looked back there was a nice big puddle on the ground. At that point I knew where to look and all the hydraulic fluid was gone. Finally Mr. Roper showed up and we called a tow truck and got it to his house... Thus is what we found while working on it at 98 degrees!

Looks like when they dumped the engine in they crushed the hose that goes from the slave cylinder to the top of the tranny. It looks like I can disconnect the hose.. at top it might not be bad.. but I dont see an easy way of getting to the top of the tranny to get that little connector =-/

Look on the bright side Ted. Sooner or later you are going to run out of shit that will break.


At least it looks like a simple fix.

Next time he gets stuck I'll tell him call to his buddy Liz, who happens to be a chick. And to the three of you that named the SYT in the Ghoul Pool - nice call!

:roflmao: What a buddy Ted has in Stanley. Always willing to do what ever he can for Ted and then take pot shots at him the hole time. Keep up the good work Stanley, the SYT would still be on the farm with out you.
