thanks for the input
Headers,
I know most people are big fans of Long Tubes "Go big or go home" (I've got LT's on my 11 sec GTO),
but the way I understand it, LT's tend to scavange very well at high rpm's but you tend to loose some low end HP/TQ
and Shorty's tend to help out alot in the mid range
wouldn't Shorty's be better suited for these engines?
Timing Kit,
is there something special about a 0* or +2-3*?
ir is it just adjusting the timing gears/chain to 0*
when purchasing, id there something special to look for, or anything for the 460 will work?
any links for a write up on installing would be great!!
Ignition,
what parts are weak?
the spark?, how about just throwing a bigger coil on?
(I did 8mm wires, bigger coil, and wider gapped spark plugs, as well as advanced the spark timing. on my 1990 Bronco 302 with very good results)
