Gotta ask...what are we supposed to do for 2 hours until the track opens?

Umm. Socialize with others, get your car ready, cut the grass around the track, give pep talks or massages, manicures, pedicures. Will find something to do . hell I don't know. LOL..

What a night. Made 2 pulls on 19psi and pulled all the plugs out to check and make sure they look good. Plugs looked fine so I go to put them in tighten a few and get to #3 and notice it wont tighten. Great!!! So it pulls the threads out the head. Luckily mike had the tool kit and a timesert. Mike did some magic and fixed the hole so the cobra is back up and running. Gonna end up putting timesert in all of them for added security.

Yikes, someone must have snuck some earlier 5.4 2v heads on your cobra..lol. Those things had like 4 threads and get fubr'd all the time.

Anyways, glad it's back together. All that typing and no numbers?? What rear end you have in there?

All the ford heads till 04 have 4 threads. My original heads had more because its a 04 but the Livernois heads I have on the car are only 4 threads

Made 617 on the 1st base pull, mike made a tune and the next one showed 658. Then that's where the plug issue came in. Didn't dyno the final tune but cooled down and the final tune it might be between 670-680.

Built and braced to hell 8.8

You have zero luck with heads....that's what started the end of the S197 and the quest for the termi.
