Hey guys, finally got some new video of TUX in action. We decided it's first race with the 428 should be against my SVT Cobra =) The 428 is getting stronger the more it breaks in, it seems. Not to bad considering I still have the crappy 352 heads on it..

Thanks guys. I cant wait to put some built heads on it. I couldn't afford to do built heads at the time of the build. But I'm thinking next tax time I'll do it. Then it should really come alive.

Mikes, I'm shifting at 5k. I dont take her much over 5200rpm. My cam goes til 5500 I believe.
FFR, thanks. I'm in the process of putting a Vortech supercharger on my Cobra currently but sometimes my truck is more fun to play with.
9 years ago today I picked out Tux from a buddies backyard so I love this time of year. I was 17 years old and I found this forum. Man time flys. Happy 4th of July to everyone!!

Nice, thanks man! I've heard at least 40hp increase with heads. Rob @ blue oval will be building the heads. Best bang for buck is bare edel's with oversize valves, he likes. He also notes that in his testing the factory 428cj intake flows real well and is worth bux.. I plan on keeping it only suck part is it weighs 80lbs!

Had a couple minutes , and had your profile saved so made the changes
1 performer rpm intake
2 750cfm carb
3 edelbrok performer heads
wow did it wake up!
Certainly a nice looking, strong running truck. I don't condone "racing" on public roads, though it appears you were in a well deserted area with plenty of visibility.
